Almost as amusing as the fact this is about the 25th time this has been in posted in 2 days and also subsequently shown to quite probably be a complete fabrication.

How many times does this have to be posted before people stop giving a crap?

The Boycott was as successful as killing a raging bull with a plastic spork, 90% of the people who signed it were just raging morons who wanted something to be angry about and had no real intention of following through with it.


4.7 Million copies sold in 24 hours, the biggest entertainment launch in history, it's safe to say the boycott was a completely and utter failure.

How can 'we' follow through with it? :confused:

No Dedicated servers = No SDK = No Custom Maps = Us being stuck playing the same stock maps all the time.
Now, I don't have MW2 myself yet, but my bro does... With the above in mind, IW, you would imagine, would have to make the stock maps pretty special no? From what I've seen they are pretty good. I guess on this note the DLC has to be of good quality and constant.. We'll see :rolleyes:

As in "not buying the game in protest".

It's pretty clear that a good amount of "boycotters" had the game on launch day, which removes the entire point of a boycott. You can't boycott a game and then buy it.

You can guarantee that any future DLC for the PC and other system won't be free though. Activision will be out to make as much money as humanly possible out of this. Specially as the CEO is a bit of a money hungry monster.
 
I would say its to early to say, CoD4 had a lot more people online during its opening week thanMW2 (not hit 100K yet, it will though). COD4 according to game monitor has peaked at 260K this year, but I cant find fugues from its release, all I can remember is it being hard to find a server that wasn't rammed.
 
As someone whos played COD since 2003 I can't say I was happy about the lack of dedicated servers. When IW play up IW.NET as the best thing since sliced bread you pretty much have to take thier word for it, and in the back of your mind you are thinking 'surely they must have it right'.

But having bought it and now played it they can stick their IW.NET up the bum and wont be buying any more releases until it is somewhere playable - heap of junk. COD on the PC is now dead.
 
I don't think the boycott was a failure, just that the numbers of people involved in boycotting it and what it was they wanted are a trivial minority that IW/Activision never cared about to begin with.
