This Is Bigger Than One Game
We, the boxing gaming community, are calling for a fully independent, third-party survey with public results to define the future of boxing video games.
This is not about complaints.
This is about accountability, transparency, and alignment with real player demand.
Who This Petition Is Directed To
Developers
- Steel City Interactive
Publisher
- PLAION
Investors & Stakeholders
- Public Investment Fund
- London Venture Partners
- Novator Partners
Media & Industry Voices
- Insider Gaming
- IGN
- GameSpot
- Eurogamer
The Problem
There is currently no transparent, unbiased data showing what boxing fans truly want from a boxing video game.
Feedback today is:
- Fragmented across Discord, social media, and private channels
- Filtered through internal pipelines
- Influenced by small but loud groups
This leads to assumption-based development, not data-driven decisions.
What We Are Demanding
We call for the commissioning of a neutral, third-party research firm to conduct a global survey that includes:
- Simulation vs arcade vs hybrid preference
- Offline vs online priorities
- AI realism and boxer authenticity expectations
- Presentation, commentary, and immersion features
- Creation suite depth and customization demand
- Long-term engagement systems (career mode, universe mode, etc.)
Most Important Requirement
👉 All results must be made PUBLIC and unfiltered
Why This Matters
For Developers (SCI)
- Removes guesswork
- Aligns development with real demand
- Rebuilds trust with a divided community
For Publishers (PLAION)
- Reduces financial risk
- Provides validated direction for future titles
- Strengthens long-term product positioning
For Investors
- Delivers verifiable market data
- Acts as a decision-making asset, not speculation
- Confirms whether demand supports deeper simulation systems
For Media
- Provides a factual foundation for coverage
- Moves the conversation beyond opinions and narratives
- Holds the industry accountable
Why This Cannot Be Ignored
- Boxing is a global sport with millions of fans
- Boxing games have existed for decades
- The demand for realism, depth, and authenticity has been consistently voiced
Yet, there is still no public dataset confirming or denying that demand
That is unacceptable in a modern, data-driven industry.
What Happens Without This
If no third-party survey is conducted:
- Development continues based on assumptions
- Community division grows
- Trust continues to erode
- Opportunities for growth and innovation are missed
What Happens With It
If this survey is conducted:
- The community becomes unified around real data
- Developers gain clarity and direction
- Investors gain confidence
- The boxing genre gains legitimacy and growth potential
Call to Action
We are asking:
- Fans to support and share this petition
- Content creators to amplify this message
- Media outlets to cover this initiative
- Industry stakeholders to acknowledge and act
Final Statement
This is not a demand for perfection.
This is a demand for clarity.
Because right now:
- Fans are debating
- Developers are assuming
- The industry is guessing
And none of that replaces real, public, third-party data
Sign. Share. Push for transparency. (Petition to Get a 3rd-Party Survey)
The future of boxing video games should be built on facts, not assumptions.
