Declare the day of launch of major video games a national holiday

Created by E.M. on January 24, 2013

As illustrated in the petition, "Declare the Monday following the Super Bowl a national holiday," major events important to the majority of Americans ought to be declared holidays. We agree that major events should be all-inclusive, and many people who do not follow sports would appreciate a day off, as the people who are not Christian appreciate the day off at Christmas.

However, holidays ought to not be created to target a specific group; many of us do not enjoy sports.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, petition the president of the United States to create via executive order, national holidays in wake of major game releases that are expected to sell extraordinarily well; examples would include World of Warcraft expansion packs and GTA V, to give opportunity for Americans to play them.
