RecRoom has been a beloved platform for countless users, creating a vibrant community of gamers, creators, and developers who have invested countless hours crafting, exploring, and socializing within its virtual universe. As the company has announced that it will cease operations on June 1st at 12:00pm PST, the fate of RecRoom and its dedicated community hangs in the balance. By open-sourcing RecRoom's software, server applications, API, and any related tools, we can ensure the survival and continued growth of this incredible platform.

Open sourcing the platform offers a lifeline not only to the devoted community but also to future developers who can innovate and expand upon the foundation that has already been laid. Open source communities are powerful forces for collaboration and progression, as seen in successful projects such as Mozilla Firefox, WordPress, and the Linux operating system, which have benefitted from thousands of volunteers worldwide.

By releasing RecRoom’s software and other resources to the public, RecRoom Inc can transform a sad closure into an opportunity for global collaboration and creativity. This step would preserve the community's hard work and passion, allowing thousands of users to continue enjoying and building upon the world they love. This would be a testament to RecRoom Inc's commitment to its users and a remarkable legacy of innovation.

The open-sourcing initiative does not mean abandoning the spirit and essence of RecRoom, but rather embracing a future where the community becomes the custodian of the platform they cherish dearly. This approach ensures that users' efforts are not in vain, preserving the server softwear, user-generated content, and an extensive array of virtual creations.

We appeal to the management and decision-makers at RecRoom Inc: please heed the call of your community. Enable this transition by open sourcing RecRoom. Let this platform thrive and grow beyond the confines of company operations to become a source of inspiration and creation for generations to follow.

Please sign this petition to urge RecRoom Inc to open-source its software, server software, API, and applications, and help sustain the community we all love.
