That's basically pointless and not going to do a thing except annoy people. If you really want to be heard, there are other, more productive ways to go about it. Maybe start a petition?

Are you serious? I actually laughed when I read this. Starting an online petition is productive? First I've heard of that. Emailing executives within the company will be MUCH more productive than a couple thousand "signatures" on an online petition.

You've never heard of a petition being productive, eh?

If nothing else, its more productive than emailing the HR Chief Officer at Activision? what? I'm not sure how that's constructive or going to convince a company as big as Activision to release a patch. You really think that most of the people are going to particularly care (if it makes it past the junk filters)?

From that link:

The show's cancellation in the third season was decried by fans, who renewed efforts to convince Fox to resurrect the show. An online petition was launched, garnering over 10,000 signatures within a few weeks. The petition gained over 100,000 signatures total, but this along with mass e-mailing and letter writing to Fox executives and organized street protests failed to save Family Guy. Later efforts to get other networks, particularly UPN, to buy Family Guy also failed.

Divided into two volumes, Family Guy sold 2.2 million DVD units in the first year,[2] reportedly surpassing every other TV-based DVD released in 2003, including Sex and the City and Friends compilations. The significant Cartoon Network ratings combined with the unprecedented DVD sales, led to widespread rumors that Fox was in talks to revive the series.

Just like in the case with Activision and this GHIII/RB patch, you apparently have to show them the money.

I think Family guy was revived because of its DVD sales and success in syndication, not a petition.

Although you could say that Jericho was saved by a petition of sorts.

No--I'm not saying it saved it--it was just part of the process and was productive. Jericho is another one. My point was that this is a better way of handling it.
