Boycott the new Valve card game, Architect
Valve has declined to listen to fan outcry for new mainline games and are promoting a new trading card game in the form of Architect which is based on Dota. This game is an insult to Valve fans everywhere as this is nothing more than a cash grab to garner more revenue. People have been clamouring for new mainline games of Valve's beloved series such as Portal, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress and Half Life yet Valve still chooses to release this petty excuse of an e-beg for more of our money? You're a game company Valve, not a hobo. It's time you to prove yourselves once again that you can bring us the entertainment that we once loved you for.
Sign this petition to tell Valve that enough is enough. We will not take anymore silences or excuses to stop releasing your mainline game series and we will stop supporting your work until we get a guaranteed confirmation that you are working on another mainline game.

Why is this important?
For too long we have allowed Valve to grow ignorant of us that they have gained too much revenue from Steam to care about their consumers.
Do not feel entitled. If you have spent money on Valve, then you added to their success due to your love for their work and if they take that for granted, why should you stand for that? You don't pay them money to do whatever they please. They need to get their priorities set straight and cater to your demands for once!
If we want to see new games from them and see their attitude towards us improve. Boycott Architect and if you can, boycott Steam for a while until their player count dwindles as that shows them that we are serious and that this is not just a one off flop.
Not many of you may know this but we are the most powerful force in the gaming industry. We can dictate who becomes successful and who doesn't, don't let anyone make you think otherwise. As one person, we maybe insignificant but together, we can decide the corporations success or failure.
People cried out against Microsoft when they decided to make anti-consumer DRM privileges and Nintendo learned from their mistake when we didn't support Metroid Prime: Federation Force, a spin-off that no one asked for from a series that hasn't had a proper game in a decade. Valve is no different from these two companies and it is our job to stand against a company if they take advantage of us! If they rebute, it'll just show how far they'll lower the bar to keep themselves in power.
