Rejected petition National Video Games Day

More details

A day allocated to the celebration of the UK video games industry, an industry which is currently thriving and will do for the foreseeable future.

This day would be a time for both gamers, developers and publishers to celebrate all that is good about the UK video gaming industry.

Be it friends playing in their living rooms, events arranged by fans, charity events or exhibitions. This day would unite the 33.6 million* gamers of the UK!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

If the industry wants to organise such a day, no-one in Government would object.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
