>implying petitions for vidya games have worked well in the past
Sadly this is how the game industry gets everyone to move on to the future consoles. The Wii has been out forever in my opinion. Not only that but the amount of people in modding communities, don't have the power to give Nintendo the money to support old console online servers. Microsoft is doing it for the 360 soon, it was already mentioned. Sony will follow as they always do. Just move on in life.
We're moving to the era where games we buy will not be played the same way as they were when purchased.
I can't believe no one saw this coming from a mile away.
