Last week's surprising cancellation of Sam & Max: Freelance Police has really stirred up the gaming community, as evidenced by more than 13.000 fans petitioning to bring the game back.

The initiator of the online petition has already received a reply from LucasArts' PR community manager, which said that the decision to cancel Sam & Max 2 was "not easy" and that LucasArts is "fully informed of the number and sentiment" of the fan outcry, assuring that the fan's voices are being heard.

You can still sign the petition, and e-mail your thoughts about the cancellation to [email protected]. A printed copy of all the signatures will be sent to LucasArts later this week.
