Digg.com - Modern Warfare 2 boycott.
- Thread starter 4p

Don't know but I'ma do some math
PC version RRP is £35
Current petition is around the 15,000 mark.
15,000 x 35 = £525,000
20,000 x 35 = £750,000
30,000 x 35 = £1050000
LOL
It's all about control and their imagined profits from it but they got another thing coming, pc users will not stand for it and won't pay for petty little dlc map packs when they're used to getting content for free from the community which benefits everyone, the internet and pc culture enjoys more freedoms thanks to things like open standards, source and information, anything that goes against that seems inherently wrong and evil.
Why most company's and big business can't seem to understand i don't know, the likes of steam seem to and they are rewarded for it, restrictions and limits for the sake of profits which may or may not come are pathetic and wrong, benefiting few or no one instead of the many, i wish logic, reason and common sense were employed by them.

to be honest PC gaming has been heading this way for a while now, im shocked everyone is so bummed. personally i think its just further illustrating how all as someone earlier said the PC is just becoming another console, there are still a few games on PC that seem to keep the spirit, most of them are strategy games and more simulation orientated games. i wasn't so bothered about MW2 to be honest because its becoming too multiplayer orientated, what the hell is going on? so many games are giving us half arsed single player components with the same generic multiplayer mode and everyone laps them up, weird. but i am with you guys on this one, stop trying to consolise the PC!!

every 50,000 = $2000,000+
I predict this will go over 100,000
Yeah, but using Live or PSN respectively. The multiplayer isn't cross platform.
yes but the consoles have nearly always had no dedicated servers (some ps3 titles doi ie war hawk).
high pings/lag/poor hit reg are much less noticeable on consoles with controllers and auto aim.
on Pc's these things are very noticeable.
Plus we like community servers. 24/7 maps, and admins as we have many more hackers.
This system means either
a) no admins, so one hacker = ruined a game
b)host can kick, so any time some kid gets killed he kicks people = ruined game
Not to mention high pings poor reg and no regulars on servers any more.

That's assuming that everyone that signs the petition:
a) Is unique
b) Will actually boycott the game
And the loss to Activision will not be that high as you are taking the retail cost not the wholesale cost.

But what about you go to a top end restaurant and buy a ridiculous expensive meal expecting it to be really good, and it turns out to be a McDonalds?
