    I've never heard of an online petition ever being successful.

    Get it anyways. It's great to keep up with devs, news etc. plus most of the main TA users use it...

    I like the term Slacktivism! I will be using that more often. If you don't support devs and wait for sales then don't b*tch. If you perpetuate the freeemium model then don't b*tch.

    I support devs through my site, my twitter, this forum, my wallet, and my time.

    ** One more: You bought one game for $5, 5 more from sales, and the rest are free so don't b*tch.

    I'm sure Gameloft will consider this petition first and their paying customers second. ;^)

    Haha.

    I doubt this will work, but it is a way of voicing our opinion about it to Gameloft. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Regardless, I signed it.

    Yes, I see where people are getting at saying it won't work.

    But it won't get you anywhere if you don't try. Until people recognize that then I see them as quitters and weak.

    I can't even access the petition.

    The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

    You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

    After I tweet it once, I can't access it, kinda weird but I think it means I signed it.

    Btw, you did tweet it.

    Can you check and see if I show up on the petition. When I went to authorize the App it took me to that screen.

    I'm not upset they went freemium. To be honest, they only have a few games I play.
    If the games were selling as good as they are made out to be, they wouldnt be free.
    At least with a freemium game you can test out how bad/good games are before shelling out any money. imo

    If you have noticed , most, but not all top selling non-freemium games have been ports from other platforms...pc..consoles etc... Examples: Sonic CD, Final Fantasy 3..
    tried and true ports are money makers.(look how many units of World of Goo has sold.:example) so there is no wonder gameloft went freemium.

    Yet they haven't tried to make a good puzzle game? Cut the Rope, Angry Birds all made money and they are small puzzle games. Now that's what Gameloft should try to do.
