QuoteI'm the person who wrote to Ken Williams and I can assure you that it was THE Ken Williams who answered me. He said that he'd like to get involved in saving the game. According to his blog (www.kensblog.com, which is where I got his e-mail address), he and Roberta support fan-made games.
It's probably going to take more than just him signing the petition to get Activision to change their mind, I mean for all they know it could just be some other bloke who just happens to have the name "Ken Williams" who signed it. Now if Ken and Roberta Williams personally wrote a letter to Activision on behalf of the TSL team that gave approval of the game then the company may be willing to change their minds, or at least go back to the negotiating table.
Here's the link to the petition if you'd like to sign it.
There is also a physical petition to back it up, in the form of a letter-writing campaign, so if you'd like to do more, go to the official website.
I know that a lot of you are skeptical about petitions, but I don't see how they can possibly HURT a cause. It also wouldn't hurt to BOYCOTT ACTIVISION, which many of us "spineless" gamers are actually doing.
Finally, some of you seem to be a bit confused about the TSL community's views and intentions, so you might want to check out our existing forums. Based on what I've read there, the programmers are honest people who stuck to Vivendi's agreement and had no way of knowing that it would eventually be bought by a less agreeable company.
QuoteYou could not be more wrong.
I doubt the TSL team would revive it. By now they've probably forgotten about it and are thinking about their next projects.
