Video game petitions have a very long and mostly pointless history. As I’ve said several times, an Internet petition is worth the paper it is printed on. But I’ll give a little publicity to this thing, because it’s the most ridiculous one I’ve seen yet (that includes this.)
A strange counterpoint advocacy for Xbox One’s more restrictive controls sprouted up after they were taken away. (Yes, in my sports column, I even pointed out how the system could have benefitted sports video gamers in the long run. I still stand by those thoughts.) Some of those talking points are echoed in the very, very brief statement of purpose:

But pardon me if I doubt the sincerity of this particular effort—and I certainly doubt the intent of most of its signers, based on the comments underneath. They’re littered with PlayStation partisans, who want Xbox One to be as consumer-unfriendly and unattractive as possible.
Anyway, this is a thing. Sign it, for whatever reason you have, if you like. It’ll be ignored like all the rest.
