You can't convince a company to take a massive financial risk with a petition unless we all signed one that made us legally obligated to pre order it, which would need millions and millions of signatures.

ok first off if everybody would check my original post agen i changed it from petition to protest because petitions only work in governments and school. BlackWidower very good idea and i would be willing to go for it but we would still need a publisher to come up with the bulk of the money. Austin Howe you are right in the fact that we should be able to do it with no public out cry for the family's of those lost but truth is we cant so we do have to maintain sensitivity to those family's. kickyourass you have a very firm grasp about the big reasons why this should be done. SushiJaguar you are completely right we Americans are not the saints we portray our self's to be and we need to realize that if we are ever to move forward as a nation so we can become an even greater nation as a whole. BiscuitTrouser that is the most compelling argument i have heard so far and your movie idea is great i would be behind that. THEJORRRG it would not take as many signatures as one might think because if the publisher gets 27$ per copy every 100,000 copies is a million seven for them so it would only take like one million copies or so but if we also did the micro investments thing thay would make more and have to give less win win
While I agree that I wish 6 Days in Fallujah looked awesome and I think that finishing it would have been the better political option, a "protest" to have it finished, especially after it's been canned for a couple of years or whatever, is pretty much meaningless. What are we going to do, picket the publisher's office?
I believe we should protest - the game must be finished - as the episode said , we should protect our art medium.
If we back down , we give in to the mob.We confirm their bias and it will strengthen their resolve.
To quote a song I like : "...fight,fight,fight..."

First off the game should be finished, it'd certainly do a better job of communicating OIF then "The Hurt Locker" ever would. That's one of the incredible strengths of the medium, you can put someone in someone else's shoes, and with Marines on board and fact checking every thing it sounds like it would be an ACTUAL accurate depiction from our pov, instead of whatever happens to be on Fox, CNN or those other professional bullshit artists who like to fancy themselves news services. Further I question the throw around term of "Realistic FPS", I've played the COD games and all the other popular "realistic shooters" I've also been through Marine combat training and SERE. Guess what kids FPSs of all shades and colors aren't any more realistic then a driving sim like need for speed is a good way to prepare for your driver's exam.
/Rant Deleted here, below is all the response the political bs'ers need about how awful the war in Iraq is for the Iraqi people.
From the Mayor of Tall' Afar, Iraq:
In the Name of God the Compassionate and Merciful
To the Courageous Men and Women of the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment, who have changed the city of Tall? Afar from a ghost town, in which terrorists spread death and destruction, to a secure city flourishing with life.
To the lion-hearts who liberated our city from the grasp of terrorists who were beheading men, women and children in the streets for many months.
To those who spread smiles on the faces of our children, and gave us restored hope, through their personal sacrifice and brave fighting, and gave new life to the city after hopelessness darkened our days, and stole our confidence in our ability to reestablish our city.
Our city was the main base of operations for Abu Mousab Al Zarqawi. The city was completely held hostage in the hands of his henchmen. Our schools, governmental services, businesses and offices were closed. Our streets were silent, and no one dared to walk them. Our people were barricaded in their homes out of fear; death awaited them around every corner. Terrorists occupied and controlled the only hospital in the city. Their savagery reached such a level that they stuffed the corpses of children with explosives and tossed them into the streets in order to kill grieving parents attempting to retrieve the bodies of their young. This was the situation of our city until God prepared and delivered unto them the courageous soldiers of the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment, who liberated this city, ridding it of Zarqawi?s followers after harsh fighting, killing many terrorists, and forcing the remaining butchers to flee the city like rats to the surrounding areas, where the bravery of other 3d ACR soldiers in Sinjar, Rabiah, Zumar and Avgani finally destroyed them.
I have met many soldiers of the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment; they are not only courageous men and women, but avenging angels sent by The God Himself to fight the evil of terrorism.
The leaders of this Regiment; COL McMaster, COL Armstrong, LTC Hickey, LTC Gibson, and LTC Reilly embody courage, strength, vision and wisdom. Officers and soldiers alike bristle with the confidence and character of knights in a bygone era. The mission they have accomplished, by means of a unique military operation, stands among the finest military feats to date in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and truly deserves to be studied in military science. This military operation was clean, with little collateral damage, despite the ferocity of the enemy. With the skill and precision of surgeons they dealt with the terrorist cancers in the city without causing unnecessary damage.
God bless this brave Regiment; God bless the families who dedicated these brave men and women. From the bottom of our hearts we thank the families. They have given us something we will never forget. To the families of those who have given their holy blood for our land, we all bow to you in reverence and to the souls of your loved ones. Their sacrifice was not in vain. They are not dead, but alive, and their souls hovering around us every second of every minute. They will never be forgotten for giving their precious lives. They have sacrificed that which is most valuable. We see them in the smile of every child, and in every flower growing in this land. Let America, their families, and the world be proud of their sacrifice for humanity and life.
Finally, no matter how much I write or speak about this brave Regiment, I haven?t the words to describe the courage of its officers and soldiers. I pray to God to grant happiness and health to these legendary heroes and their brave families.

There's hundreds of thousands of letters like that, some from people of import, some from men and women who can barely read and write or have just been given the chance to do so for the first time.
Have a motivated day.
PS Biscuit, love the helmet cam idea, but let's make it mandatory viewing instead.
