Free Tutorials For All

GAMETUTORIALS HAS DECIDED TO STOP PROVIDING FREE TUTORIALS FOR THE GAME COMMUNITY!
We appreciate your thoughts. One thing that we want to stress is that we ARE a company. We ARE a corporation. For the last 5 years we have been building GameTutorials. We have worked crazy hours every day to bring these tutorials. Now, we are going to make a product out of our hard work. , says DigiBen, co-owner of www.gametutorials.com

Yes, I perfectly understand why you sit there with your mouth wide open and with tears running down your face!
But nonetheless, the rumors are all true. The owners of GameTutorials have decided to turn their backs on their steadily growing community and have entered what Id like to call real business. For five years the site has been freely available to everyone interested in becoming a professional game developer and has had a growing community always eager to help newcomers endure their first development difficulties and to provide suggestions and guidance for the more advanced people sticking around.
However, with the ever growing need for more advanced tutorials and with more people getting on the Internet than ever, its sad to see GameTutorials slam their doors like this and literally only offer their valuable services through your credit card.

The point of this petition is to let the staff at GameTutorials know that the online community needs them and that charging for their tutorials certainly isnt the way to go! At least not for the tutorials that have been freely available for several years.

Let them hear your unsatisfied voice before GameTutorials fades away into the darkness of oblivion with only the sweet memory of how great a site it once was and of how great tutorials they once hosted for free for everybody to read and learn from.
By charging for their tutorials they shift the point of interest from an extensive resource for newbies to the advanced coder who might be interested in offering a little extra cash for valuable information. On the other hand, though, that doesn't quite add up with with the choice of charging for the simple and basic tutorials as well..

We need GameTutorials and they need us! If one party leaves, both will fall..
Sign this petition and let them realize they need to reverse their changes or, at least to some extent, listen to the community!
