Here's a quote from an email I just sent Origin, and CC'ed to WCIC's Ben Lesnick
Sign the Petition you furballs!
Note: this is being CC'ed to wcnews.com for press reasons, please read the entire email
Ok, as you can see from my signature on this email I'm no standard end user. I understand what it is the put effort into games, and see them fail, and to see them succeed. I
like many other people still love the Wing Commander universe. It's possibilities are endless. I want to know, on the record and off the record, why it no more Wing
Commander games are in order. You have litterally hundreds of thousands of people all wondering this same question. If I was a good enough programmer I would
personally write a freeware engine for future Wing Commander games and take responsibility myself to save this greatest of all gaming series from the neglect it is
suffereing from. I still have the vast wing commander universe map on my wall and my copies of all ten games [sadly I can only play WCP and WSCO now because of my
USB joystick, PCI soundcard, etc].
If all you did was released all the games in full DX8 accelerated video the profits would be enourmous, I would pay $40 a game for updates version so of Wing
Commander 1, Wing Commander II, Wing Commander III, Wing Commander IV, Wing Commander Prophecy, Wing Commander Privateer & Righteous Fire, and
Wing Commander Academy Right there is $280. I'm sure im not alone, I will start a petition if I have to to prove this point. If on top of updating all those you add multiplayer
cooperative/dogfight, etc to all those they will sell even better than they did origionally.
You are a great gaming company, please do not let your public down. We have been holding on faithful watch for 5 years now. Please I beg of you. Do not let this series
die. If you need ideas for further games there are thousands of us that will willingly offer you ideas.
