Does COD with a monthly subscription really qualify as an MMO? I don't think so. Kotick is just talking about capitalising on the existing Call Of Duty structure, as is his right.
A much more intelligent discussion on this issue than I normally read - well done all.
I think there's a real difficulty in having hard and fast rules on piracy as an individual. I appreciate that copyright law is often totally explicit on what is right and wrong, but we shouldn't be robots and I think it is my personal responsibility to steer a reasonable course through the issue.
To me, the overriding factor is quality of life. Not just mine, but everyone's. Which I think is more important than any copyright law - it informs how we develop as human beings, how we feel, our happiness, what we pass on to the next generation etc. These are factors that industry and law is poor at encouraging or measuring, and there are real dangers in simply abdicating all our responsibilities to those forces.
What a strange read this thread is. A gaggle of Halo 'fans' admitting that they never knew there was a story. Or cared. The strange thing is many seem to parade their ignorance like a badge of honour.
I get that some people prefer multiplayer. But why piss on everyone else's bonfire?
I'm no fan of the Halo games, but there is clearly a coherent game world and story which Bungie seems highly proud of.
