Bayonetta. Virtua Fighter 5. Vanquish. These are all Sega games that must receive PC ports, according to a petition born out of a Twitter campaign from last December. » 1/24/14 5:30am 1/24/14 5:30am

It seems the people want a new Digimon. On Change.org, an Italian fan of the monster-collecting-and-fighting game series started a petition, asking Namco-Bandai to localize the latest entry, Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode, overseas. » 7/22/13 5:20am 7/22/13 5:20am

Video game petitions have a very long and mostly pointless history. As I've said several times, an Internet petition is worth the paper it is printed on. But I'll give a little publicity to this thing, because it's the most ridiculous one I've seen yet (that includes this.) » 7/10/13 11:00am 7/10/13 11:00am

Their message is clear: What happened with SimCity is not okay. » 3/23/13 4:00pm 3/23/13 4:00pm

My opinion of Internet petitions remains unchanged: They are worth the paper they are printed on. (Hint: They are not printed on paper.) They're a manifestation of the distorted expectation—cultivated in grade school—that First Amendment rights extend to your relationship with a private business. » 3/11/12 4:00pm 3/11/12 4:00pm

Internet petitions are normally as effective in bringing about a desired result as closing your eyes and wishing really hard, but with more than 66.000 signatures accrued in just one week the petition for Namco Bandai to release uber-challenging dungeon crawler Dark Souls on PC seems to have gotten the company's… » 1/13/12 12:30pm 1/13/12 12:30pm

"Internet petitions" rank right up there with "zillion dollar Xbox Live DLC" on my list of favorite subjects. We could spend all day writing about them, and they're still worth the paper they are printed on*. That said, a drive to get Dark Souls ported to the PC has traction, thanks to a Namco Bandai representative's… » 1/08/12 4:00pm 1/08/12 4:00pm

As Kotaku's resident colorblind gamer, I feel a duty to point out that some of my brethren have asked Infinity Ward to patch Modern Warfare 2 to remove the game's red-green/enemy-teammate confusion. » 12/15/09 10:40pm 12/15/09 10:40pm

Online petitions ain't worth much to me - just once, I'd like to see someone with a clipboard outside a GameStop doing this in person. But on some topics they're meaningful, like the Infinity Ward/dedicated server fiasco that broke yesterday. » 10/18/09 4:00pm 10/18/09 4:00pm

The petition to get offline network play added back in to Starcraft II has hit 100,000 signatures. Doesn't mean Blizzard will shift away from funneling everyone into Battle.Net. But six figures is a credible number. » 8/16/09 7:00pm 8/16/09 7:00pm

Angered by news that Blizzard has decided to leave LAN multiplayer out of StarCraft II, fans are doing what fans have done in such situations since the dawn of time - signing a letter. » 6/30/09 8:00pm 6/30/09 8:00pm

Students at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, are up in arms over Activision's Call of Duty: World at War for promoting the killing of deadly attack dogs. » 3/20/09 1:40pm 3/20/09 1:40pm

Yes, Diablo III is going to be much more vivid and vibrant than its predecessors, a fact that has some fans signing a petition against the shinier, happier art direction - now with over fifteen thousand signatures. Tracey John over at MTV Multiplayer spoke with Diablo III lead producer Keith Lee about the during the… » 7/02/08 2:00pm 7/02/08 2:00pm

After years of hoping, praying, cajoling, and begging for a follow-up, Blizzard has finally announced Diablo III, and fans all over the world cheered before getting down to business - complaining. A petition has gone up at whiner headquarters PetitionOnline, with over 2,000 fans signing on to complain about the… » 7/01/08 12:40pm 7/01/08 12:40pm

Nintendo's Wii is leaving a lot of Revolution fans with a burning sensation. The photoshops are flowing like an awkwardly named Japanese game console after a suitcase of beer. From game forums like GAF, Penny Arcade and Quarter to Three to CNN, MTV, ABC and other proper demonstrations of three letters strung together,… » 4/27/06 5:00pm 4/27/06 5:00pm
