On April 19th, 2024, the gaming community was hit with the devastating news that the servers for LittleBigPlanet 3 were going to be shut down indefinitely. This decision by Sony not only affects one of the most creative and supportive video game communities but also strikes a severe blow to video game preservation as a whole. 

LittleBigPlanet (LBP) has been more than just a game; it was an entire interactive media platform home to over 10 million user-created levels that are important works of art in their own right. These levels represent countless hours of creativity, ingenuity, and passion from players around the world. For many people within the gaming industry, LittleBigPlanet was their introduction to their future gaming careers. With the server shutdown, these critical works of art risk being lost forever.

While it is understandable that maintaining servers can be costly and challenging for Sony, there is an alternative solution that would protect this game's legacy - releasing a public downloadable archive of LBP's user-created levels.

This move would not only preserve these unique pieces of digital art but also allow millions of fans worldwide to continue enjoying them even after server shutdowns. It would demonstrate respect for player creativity and commitment towards preserving a critical part of gaming history.

We call on Sony to recognize this issue's importance and take action by releasing an archive containing all user-created levels from LittleBigPlanet. Let us ensure that this significant part of gaming culture does not disappear.

Please sign this petition urging Sony to preserve our shared digital heritage by making available an archive containing all user-created content from LittleBigPlanet.
