You can't really blame Activision for trying. I mean, the Diablo role has been up for grabs since EA went all nice. Besides, PC gamers don't buy games... They're actually lucky to get anything to begin with. *runs*
Heh, IW are the ones who gave CoD4 MP away for, essentially, free with a very open ended authentification system. I you asked me, I would say they did it to ensure CoD4 was the most popular MP shooter ...

And lots of people bought COD4 on the PC (and World At War). But ya know, Phaethon was just trollin'.

What is the opposite of damage control? That's even more insulting than the initial interview that revealed this stuff. If they honestly believe the line of bullshit they're touting, then they clearly don't know the PC audience very well at all. You want to make it so your fans can play the game? Are you fucking serious? He also suggests that the thousands of fans complaining are just upset server providers. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? How fucking out of touch is this guy?

Who do they think the 100,000 people who signed that petition are? Are you telling me that more than 100,000 people asked for matchmaking at the expense of mods and dedicated servers?

Bad Company 2, here I come.

Wow, it got worse. I wish their game would sell abysmal number on PC.....only then would they believe, but then again, will that happen?

EDIT: As for dividing the community, I think if anything it would just give them options. I want to play with modded maps, "I'm just going to click here" instead. Problem solved. Dividing the community is something like Bungie has done, those who have maps and those who don't, now that is a horrible decision.....I wouldn't be surprised if IW releases a $5 map, and then divides the community--would be the ultimate irony, but with these guys everything is possible now.

Probably not.. but they're not getting my money. Call of Duty 4 is probably my most played game ever too. Lame.

I noticed that they didn't address the lie that they told shacknews... shocking!

There is nothing wrong with adding the IW.net layer to do things like add match-making, combat piracy & cheating, stat tracking and the like. Just because the long time & extremely vocal PC gamers have no need for such things does not mean there is no demand for them at all.

The problem (along with the way they've gone about it) is the removal of dedicated servers as an option. If say you could host private games on an IW.net server then it would be less of a big deal but as that distinction hasn't been made clear then I'm assuming everything will be P2P based. Doing this at the same time as raising the RRP, not clever. They've managed to handle this spectacularly badly. When exactly were they going to announce these new features before a throwaway comment on a podcast? It's 3 weeks from launch.

As it happens they've just incentivized a significant community to actively work round this issue and reverse engineer it, which is only going to help piracy. Quite a bizzare own goal.

Again and again during our conversation, West and Zampella hammer the point that hardcore PC players lose very little to this change relative to the returns that casual to moderate fans will see.
LOL. Why should HC players lose anything because of casual players? They could have had matchmaking and dedicated servers. Everyone would have won then.

No, because this is about DLC and it's about money. Dedicated servers and custom content give us control we're not supposed to have anymore.

Fuck that. Fuck Infinity Ward. They need to get their shit together.. but in the meantime I'll happily take time and money elsewhere. It's not a boycott if you make something I don't want.

Got a link for that? I've not read anything direct from IW talking about it before this malarkey yet.

Shack: By the way, have you changed the way multiplayer games function on the PC at all?

Robert Bowling: PC will be the same as it always was.

Shack: LAN support as well?

Robert Bowling: LAN support, yes.

Why is it 4.5? Everything I've seen of the campaign looks new, and the MP has new features(outside of this IW.net stuff), so why isn't that enough for it to be considered a proper sequel?
