Normally, I'd leave it alone, but Uwe Boll has promised to retire if this petition hits 1,000,000.

That petition has been around for a while. it doesn't look likely that it will ever reach 1mil.

To be fair petitions only work with extremist

Well don't quote me on this but I believe Germany has this thing where you get a tax break if you fund movies, if you change that, Uwe Boll get's no more money.

Now who wants to run for office in Germany?

Or how about we just, you know, stop caring about him? I mean sure his films suck to an almost alarming degree, but nobody forces you to watch them.
And you know what? I don't think we really want him to go away, if he did we wouldn't be able to complain about him, and we seem to like doing that, why else would there be so many threads and conversations about how awful he and his films are?
People like to complain, it's a release of tension to just have a good old moan about something.
That said I may sign the petition, just to see if it actually does anything.

Uwe Boll gives attention to the gaming industry when no one else will and people wish him ill for it. Makes no sense to me.

I signed it, but I'll say this anyway.

He Lies!
The only way to stop him is to find the Vampire that sired him and slay it!

Didn't he already say that he wasn't going to do any more video game movies, while making it sound like it was our loss?

This is mean, just horribly mean. If he turns a profit leave him be.
You clearly haven't seen any of his movies. They are horrible. The man has to be stopped. And if you think people are being mean telling him to stop, you need only watch the DVD commentaries of his movies. He is insane. He honestly believes that his movies are the greatest ever made, and the reason they've done so badly is because of an international conspiracy against him. Seriously. I realise this petition has very little chance of succeeding, but any chance is worth taking to get rid of Toilet Boll.

I don't think he gets his money from Germany any more, unfortunately. I'm not sure about this, but I think they just refused to give him any more. I'm told he now gets his money through some sort of tax-evasion scheme in Canada.

I doubt it's going to work, he's the kind of guy who will probably just go, "MWA HAHAHA! Fuck you!" and do it anyway.

Uwe Boll is one of those few people who I admire their enthusiasm, but wish they had a better head on their shoulders. Sarah Pallin and Peter Molyneux are two others. Its like watching a mouse really try to get through a maze, but always just missing the turn to the cheese.

Sounds about right. If he started making better movies, would people forgive him for what he's done? Probably. I say give him another movie contract. If it's good, then I will have more faith for him. If not, I enjoy a good laugh.

Didn't he start his own company so he could fund himself or something?

I already signed it, but I doubt even if it does reach the needed signatures, he will stick to his side of the bargin. He lies quite a lot about things like this as far as I remember.

You must not have heard, but he rescinded his offer to quit making movies by order of this petition. He claimed that Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg were signing under different alias in order to pad the signature count (and I'm absolutely not kidding [http://www.gamegrep.com/news/8718-uwe_boll_claims_micheal_bay_and_steven_spielberg_are_plotting_against_him/]), thus it was invalidated. It's kind of a lost cause.
