Digg.com - Modern Warfare 2 boycott.

[thecremeegg]

any game is pirated what ever console or pc etc, its normal for people to try !
there is always a % off the population whome is going to use pirated games, Me for one will get the demo and play it if ok bin the demo or go out to buy the game for the multiplayer side off it only.

Well yes, but you're kinda missing the point Its just amusing that it shud happen to be on the consoles where the piracy starts not on the "piracy ridden" pc format

 

[siege2]

erm yes and no , I know off Xbox have being using copied games using modified units for a long time, there is downloads and mods etc , so its not just the pc format that is effected , ie accused ?

 

[mjones1]

Could you imagine how much that torrent is going to get used!

 

[lofarl]

Hell I'd download it an i dont have a xbox. Anything to shaft Infinity ward now

 

[siege2]

LOL even the witcher is higher and thats about 2 years old i think

 

[Deadbeat]

New to Steam, though. Still, for the biggest release of the year, it's a bit of a poor show.

Tempted to get a copy myself, just to add to the seeding of it.......

Remember - "Piracy is killing PC gaming kids!"

 

[Walkerie]

Piracy is not killing PC Gaming in my view, a better way to protect the content is needed or perhaps just the onlive route, I do however feel that investors are ruining games, making everything more bland and porting everything.

 

[matt0r]

This thread has been utterly derailed into the old pro and anti piracy brigade.... Is there any more news with regard to MW2 and dedigate?

 

[Tobes]

I don't understand why you are pirating it if you are in the boycott... the boycott is about the multiplayer. Downloading it illegally just proves IW right.

Seriously people if you're going to boycott at least do it right.

 

[Frenzy]

Nice, go go pirates. would have been more entertaining if they pulled a HL2 and released the source code

 

[siege2]

Downloading it illegally just proves IW right and there not proving anything by changing the way pc users want to play the game online, in otherwords a boycot.

IW don't seem too bothered by the fact that there are people who would only buy the game because they wanted to play the multiplayer and would pirate it otherwise.

 

[Frenzy]

At the end of the day IW dont give a toss about what we think so certain people dont give a toss about what they think when they pirate the game. Big deal that it only proves them right either way nothings going to change so hit them where it is going to hurt and pirate and show them the potential sales they actually lost.

It says this weeks most popular so its on this weeks sales i guess

That makes no sense whatsoever. A pirated game is not a potentially lost sale at all

 

[something daft already!!]

For those who want to see the "murder" video that IW don't want you to see, here it is:
