Cover a chapter

For creators & press

Covering consumer issues in gaming? Each chapter of this petition is a self-contained topic with a realistic ask. Take any of them — no credit to us needed. The only goal is the conversation (and the signature count) growing.

Angles and topics

CH.01 — About physical media

Why "save physical media" campaigns are aimed at the wrong target.

CH.02 — Digital marketplaces

Refunds, resale, sharing, ownership: what every digital store owes its customers.

CH.03 — Game quality

Broken launches and paid early access: the business case against shipping unfinished games.

CH.04 — Remasters & new IPs

The remaster flood vs. new IPs: where the AAA budget should actually go.

CH.05 — Online & preservation

Game preservation: offline single-player forever, and a plan for when servers die.

CH.06 — Localization

A market mechanism to fund game localization — no charity required.

CH.07 — Other issues

Lootboxes, kernel anticheat, modding, AI disclosure, timed exclusives: the shortlist.

A note on quoting

Quote any part of the petition freely. Names of games and companies are deliberately edited; we'd appreciate you keeping it that way when quoting.
