I just received word that the team is keeping the service open for now. I am honestly stunned by this outcome and I know it only happened because of all of you. Please keep an eye on things moving forward because we have shown that our community is impossible to …

For years Xfire has been a staple of many gamers and gaming communities. Today in a small note under the notifications icon on the client interface they ambiguously informed users that they would be ceasing social operations in less than 48 hours. As an avid user of their chat client, I'm not only disappointed that they would discontinue a service that I've used almost daily for years now. I'm not the only one viewing it from this perspective. If they can't offer the full blown game support, etc., it would be nice if they at least offered a scaled down IM client.

If you also felt a tinge of sadness when you saw the farewell message in your notifications today, then show some support by signing this petition. Thank you.

I started this because I couldn't imagine my daily routine without the community here but the sheer number of you who feel the same is overwhelming. It turns out I am not the only one grieving the loss of our space and your stories have shown me that this is about so much more than just software. Thank you for showing up to remind everyone that our history together is worth fighting for.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people reached out to say they remember Xfire as fondly as I do. This momentum belongs entirely to the community that keeps these memories alive.

I am signing because I have literally used this program everyday since 2005 ! I have alot of history with it ! I have almost 7700 hours of games logged. I hope someone can pick up the service and keep it running. I would donate to the cause !

This is a terrible business decision and its execution was equally appalling. You can't betray your userbase like this, Xfire.

Hi I've used xfire for years since it was mentioned in Halo CE and its been a wonder for everything any other client never had like steam and such. Now I come back to find they shutting it down without a heads up warning. How is shutting down the best gamer's friend chatting system supposed to make them get better and improve?! Theres no excuse for this, I WANT XFIRE back! Made too many friends on there just to lose them for good now cuz of this!! Give us back our best gaming buddy!

Please ,do not shut it down. Its like my everyday routine. My life will be a hollow without it. Every time I open xfire, those sounds. I'm really attached to it. Please let xfire live.

Xfire is my resume to PC gaming. It would be a shame to lose years and years of logged gameplay.
