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

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="MajorGamer531"]

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.

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

He gave them $60 :?

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] The idea that the average PC gamer is a hardcore gamers is as much a fallacy as the idea that most console gamers are hardcore gamers. Most gamers are casual, on all the platforms, and it is not the casuals who are complaining about the dedicated servers. SpruceCaboose

Any pc gamer will see the difference between more players, low latency, and higher match control vs. 18 players, 100 ms pings, and private game only match control.

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.

Except this is DICE. Not rockstar who screwed up 2 ports already. Their Mirriors edge port to the PC was very good by the way.

You have twisted reality so much that it's starting to tear up. Of course it will still sell, that is not the point. The point is to make it sell less. And of course it will get pirated to hell and beyond, cause the game is pretty good i bet. People are not boycotting it because the game is bad. It's the whole attitude and stance. Activision are making a point here, that they do not need to listen to gamers at all and can do anything they want, even publicly stating that they intend to screw us, because people will buy into a well established franchise no matter what.

You have a very weird mindset. Like how You think the consumers are supposed to take into account that these are businesses. That's not necessary at all. They put in the effort, make the right decisions, and we'll approve. If they don't we'll disapprove. People shouldn't work for a company that sucks.

And that is why we need to be loud as hell. So that people do know there is a boycott and why there is one!

EA probably spent the money on beer and drugs :PWii_Gamer_277

Better than spending it on MW2

That's fine, I only enjoyed MW for a week, my expectations of MW2 aren't much higher.

LOL some people take this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to far, why not leave it at just not buy the game :roll:

A lot of casual gamers are following the "core" gamers suit and not buying MW2 on PC.

I like how he didn't just sign one of those lame online petitions. The online petitions are completely unregulated and contain dupes, who knows how many of the people that sign them actually planned on buying the game. This guy made a stronger statement by putting up some real cash. I would never send money to a company like that but I will give him points for originality.

With MW2 breaking the gamespot preorder record I don't think IW would care if every pc gamer boycotted the game. They were already pissed off about the high piracy rates of COD4. I wasn't at all surprised by the changes they made given that most of the pc gamers that played COD4 didn't pay for it. Just be glad they didn't dump the pc entirely.

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?

I awlways have and still do prefer the Battlefield franchise over Call of Duty although i still like me some CoD action.

EEEEEEEEEDIOT!!!! what an EEEDIOT!!!slvrraven9

why that? Look how much intention he gets and i am really sure IW is pissed off.

I just checked a major online retailer and MW2 was the #3 best selling game in the pc section. Interestingly Left4Dead 2 is #11.

So it looks like MW2 on pc will be a big seller even with all the talk of boycotts.

In the preorder comments section there are a lot of people trying to get others to cancel their prorders. That's just sad.
