As a parent who cherishes the opportunity to bond with my children over our favorite game, "7 Days to Die," it was crushing to learn that the 1.0 release will not have a split screen co-op feature. The removal of this feature will result in my family and I losing the ability to share the gaming experience in our living room, on the same console. "7 Days to Die" was special to us, as it gave us countless hours of zombie survival, creativity, and thrill.

The game, developed by The Fun Pimps, has always been unique due to its innovative and inclusive design. It boasts of a 92% approval rating on Steam from over 87,000 users, which speaks volumes of its popularity and impact in the gaming community (Source: Steam, 7 Days to Die User Ratings).

We understand that new developments often entail changes, but this specific change strips away a critical element of the game – shared experiences. The fun we've had overcoming the survival challenges together, expressing our creativity by building virtual worlds, are memories we hold dear. There is an immeasurable value to the social aspect of gaming, and split-screen co-op only enhances that.

By signing this petition, you're supporting the need for The Fun Pimps to bring back the split screen co-op mode in the upcoming 1.0 release of "7 Days to Die." Let's recapture the essence of social gaming and help bring families and friends closer together, even in the virtual world. Sign this petition, for the love of shared gaming experiences.
