Wow this guy really doesn't like Activision's new ideas. Supports DICE!

So this guy said he was very dissappointed with Activision for dropping support for dedicated server and proud of DICE for keeping dedicated servers.
So check out what he did!
I would say that's kinda going too far but what does SW think?

the 1st word that comes to mind is "fool"

giving 60 dollars towards a multi million dollar company just because hes mad at activision...LOL! what a fail

Lulz, that's pretty funny.

Obviously, this news is affecting many PC gamers.

That is going a little too far but I guess if he loves DICE so much now then thats fine I suppose

Hey, thats a good idea.

Haha that is absolutely awesome. I don't think he went too far at all; he's just showing his support for a dev that didn't give him the shaft. More people should have the balls to do this.

LOL, this guy is awsome....

But seriously I think that guy just hates money.

Aw, if you say it like that it's kinda sad.

I bet some mail clerk at DICE is gonna get a nice lunch out of this.Jynxzor

Dice: "im pleased to say that we at DICE put that money to good use. thanks for the support"

Back in the office: "Yo Jim! order some pizza, its on me"

this really isn't about the money; it's about the PR Dice gets.

This is what i have been promoting.
Get MW2 for free, and pay the money to a dev that is worth it.
I am very happy with this development.

Lol thats badass.

He used a smiley in a letter? How old is he?Cherokee_Jack

Bravo. Unless there is some serious apology and turn around, myself and many other pc gaming enthusiasts will not be buying any infinity ward game ever. Whatever profit they get they will not have ours... this is a trend that must be stopped before it is started, developers need to develop for the satisfaction of the gamer, not just lean on their big name franchise.

Damn you guys who are making fun of him are haaaters.

Who cares, it's 60 bucks. He wants to support Dice in the best way possible. Dice has been acting very good towards it's PC base. It's not about the money really but about the message, the 60 bucks he was going to put towards MW2 is now being put towards BC2 development instead. It's the principle of the thing, and Dice getting more and better PR will help with the sales of the game.

Silly me for assuming that the consumer in the gaming industry was a gamer.

The consumer is generally not the person who demands dedicated servers in the PC version of a game.

IW has no obligation to make their games according to the demands of a small percentage of consumers.

I'm guessing you're one of the people that think health care companies shouldn't make medicine that isn't profitable, correct?

Why in the world wouldn't you want game companies to develop for gamer satisfaction? You're a gamer. Stop caring about their stocks and sales. You should AGREE with what the first guy said, you should want the developers to cater to gamer needs in every way possible.

I want that. I didn't say that I didn't. But I have no illusion that companies need to make their products according to my (rather unrealistic) expectations, because I'm in a small minority of their consumer base.

They release the game on the PC, than PC gamers are a group of their consumers. And you are quite naive if you think they are a small group. Not only are they a good sized group, but PC Gamers tend to hang their hat on one game for years, which means lots of DLC content that will be bought long after people on console stop caring and move on to the next Fad/hype game. Also the moding done by PC Gamers leads to innovations in the industry. The sprint function for example was first developed in a mod.

Could be drunk judging by the hand writing. :P Buying BC2 should be enough support I think, dedicated servers don't actually cost the dev much on PC since I think it's mostly the community providing them, dunno how it's with the console servers. Still, if you've got the money why not, it's not like donations for something you care about is a new thing.

Edit
Also there's always a chance the PC version could be pushed back, or ported poorly, it's the first PC game using that engine, could end up like GTA4 or something. I'd like to see his face if that happens.

But are all PC gamers, or a large percentage of PC gamers, going to refuse to buy MW2 on PC because it doesn't have dedicated servers?

Apparently IW doesn't think so. We'll see if they're right.

I don't recall ever mentioning anything about PC gamers being hardcore/ more hardcore.

Yea but you guys shouldn't accept it like it's nothing, as if it's a standard rule. I understand reality and I know developers are less likely to cater to hardcore gamers because we're in the minority, but that doesn't mean we can't complain and moan about it until they do something about it. If nobody complained about Wii's awful E3 a couple years ago I guarentee you we wouldn't be seeing lots of Nintendo games for 2010.

This guy sending money to BC2 is his way of standing against what Infinity Ward and other developers are doing. Instead of complaining and moaning he's giving money to the dev's who care about what PC gamers want. That's 100% a good thing. I know big businesses are around to make a profit, but that doesn't mean we should allow them to do tons of BS at our expense, it has to be a tug and pull situation so the consumer and business keep each other equal.
