Less than a week after the LucasArts announcement that it has stopped production on "Sam & Max: Freelance Police" a Save Sam & Max Website was launched. It has just undergone a huge redesign facelift. The Site is dedicated to forcing LucasArts to reverse their decision and have Sam & Max 2 finished and released. There was a lot of frustration, anger and resentment after LucasArts shock announcement and the creator of http://www.savesamandmax.com wants to "harness that in a productive way."

"The campaign to get this game reinstated has just begun, as a petition exceeds 20,000 signatures, we have protest being organised for E3 2004. We also are encouraging everyone to mail their own piece of Sam & Max Fan Artwork to LucasArts to let them know their are Sam & Max Fans out there who would buy this game, contrary to whatever flawed research they have done. I think its also time for the gaming community to take a stand and let companies like LucasArts know we want original and funny games like Freelance Police. I also challenge Mike Nelson who cancelled the game with that pathetic two line quote, to come out and respond to the fans passionate showing of support for the game."

After just going through a resdesign, SaveSamAndMax.com continues in the tireless job of trying to convince LucasArts to un-cancel the Adventure Game. The petition has over 20,000 signatures, a protest is in the works, and I have a feeling that whoever is at LucasArts reading the PR e-mail is putting in some long hours.

Many people are wondering, what one can do to help out. Well they have a whole section devoted just to that, with ideas from protesting at E3, sending letters, to even pre-ordering the game where you can find it.
