I, along with countless others, have played the adrenaline-pumping game of Friday The 13th since 2017. Over the years, this survival horror has become not just a pastime or an interactive movie experience, but also a place where meaningful friendships have been forged.

The game is much more than a recreation of the iconic slasher film series. It has become a unique community that brings fans together from all corners of the world. Now, however, we are all faced with the tragic news: the multiplayer servers for Friday The 13th - The Game will cease to exist on December 31st, 2024. This means the game we have centered our communities around will no longer be playable in any capacity. The devastation and disappointment reach beyond our screens, into our lives.

The blow isn't just about losing a source of entertainment: it's about losing a part of our social lives that we have integrated into our routines. It's about losing a platform where we can connect with like-minded people from all walks of life.

The reason for the termination is a lawsuit issued by the original creators of the Friday The 13th movies against the game developers. By signing this petition, we are sending a clear message: we appreciate the developers' efforts, respect the creators' intellectual property rights, but we ask for a sensible solution that allows the servers to stay online for the fans who have shown their loyalty to the franchise.

We, both individually and collectively, must voice our dismay, anguish, and our plea for reconsideration. We want our voices to ring out, to be heard. Regardless of the dispute that has led to this decision, there must be a way to ensure the future of Friday the 13th - The Game without causing such heartbreak for its devoted fans.

Let's call on the decision-makers to halt the shutdown and maintain the servers. The spirit of Friday The 13th - The Game shouldn't end here. Show your support and sign this petition today. Let's save our game.
