As long as you've got the friends to play with, and the drive to keep playing an aging game, more power to ya. However, I've got a good 15 dudes going to pick up Modern Warfare 2 at midnight tonight, and I know we'll have a blast with the game, regardless of how evil Activision is. In my opinion, Infinity Ward still make a quality game, just like Naughty Dog.

You can stay on your high horse.  I will be thoroughly enjoying Modern Warfare 2.

Well Bobby isn't all evil, he just donated $1 million to charity.

Hey, you should write a book about that. 

" Well Bobby isn't all evil, he just donated $1 million to charity. "

Ugh. I respect your opinion an all, but...nevermind.

Yeah fuck Activision and Bobby Kotick. But I'm still buying the game because IW makes a great shooter, plain and simple. I guess I'm not one of the cool, select, 1337 crowd who refuses to change with the times, and hates it when their favortie games get too mainstream. What a loser I must be.

I have many problems with Infinity Ward's marketing strategies, features that are in (and NOT in) the game and Bobby Kotick in general, but I am still buying this game. I know it will be one of the best games of the year so there is not much to complain in terms of quality. I am reluctantly preordering it at a Gamestop (I know I won't be able to find it anywhere for a few days unless I go to a Best Buy) and picking it up either at midnight tonight or tomorrow morning too. I find that these strategies of holding your wallet usually don't work and, honestly, I just want to play the game!!

Right, but I'm sure even the Devil has done some nice things. Perhaps he gave someone a present or something. The fact is, Bob literally said his aim was to "take the fun out of game development". There's a soul-sucking hellion right there. "

I uh, I don't know what you mean about the too mainstream stuff...I have no problem with mainstream games and whatnot (People on the IRC will happily attest to that in such a way as to mock me horrendously).  So I guess you're referring to the wisecrack about the moderately casual gamers, but honestly that was just a dig at some of the drivel my real life friends spout. One of them actually tried to make the case that GOTY decisions made by an officially licensed magazine carry some kind of authority and gravitas. "

I'm simply not getting it because I don't want it.

See who gives a fuck.

Yeah, Bobs a typical business man with his eyes on the profit and little else, but that shouldn't affect your enjoyment of a game. If you don't think the game is worth the money, then you are absolutely right not to buy it, but don't let this guy and what he stands for be the only reason stopping you from enjoying playing it. "

"It's mostly just I don't wanna do business with a company that's so callous. I'm not excited enough about the game to put up with it. "

Well 1000s of other people like me won't be buying MW2 because we don't like linear 4 hour campaigns and repetitve multiplayer

I like that you say it's the principle of the thing, but that you might play it at a friend's house anyways. That's not principles.

" Well 1000s of other people like me won't be buying MW2 because we don't like linear 4 hour campaigns and repetitve multiplayer "

If you've got a reason to be pissed off then more power to you for not buying the product. My only problem with MW2 has been the price and that ridiculous RRP. I wasn't planning to buy it, but now being able to get it day 1 for £20, my only issue has been made more than obsolete.

At least you're not the only one who feels that way. I, too, refuse to give Activision any of my money. I might rent MW2 or buy a used copy, but they won't be seeing a penny. Kind of a shame Blizzard is part of that company, though, because I would love to have gone back to WoW eventually. But hey, if you feel strongly about something you have to be willing to make some sacrafices, and I'd rather not play any CoD, Blizzard or Spider-Man game if it means keeping Activision's greedy little paws off of my money. 
 
I really hope they will rapidly lose more goodwill, and more customers. 

You are one of the people they talked about in the last bombcast, ugh. Use this energy towards something useful.

I also will not be getting the PC version, its a waste. Ill wait for a Patch/Dedicated servers from IW.....if there ever is one or a Hack.

I wouldn't confess anything to someone who thought not buying Activision products was a mental problem.

I agree with you and guys remember he didn't say he wasn't going to PLAY it but he wasn't going to buy it new. I also will buy a used copy or play it at a friend's house.

The problem with Bobby Kotick is that he has no class and just openly acts like a jackass.

Fist-bumb bro! I am boycotter too.

 
With purchase of every copy, you are telling Activision that fucking customers up the ass is cool.

Stop using "good will" the makers of CoD:MW2 do not owe you or anyone else anything.  What exactly makes them greedy?

" Ugh. I respect your opinion an all, but...nevermind. "

I agree with the European prices, insulting.

I also disagree with Activision's ways. But people still buy their games, so they are gonna still go what they are doing.

" I like that you say it's the principle of the thing, but that you might play it at a friend's house anyways. That's not principles. "

"It's insulting to think that they feel we are so guaranteed to give them our money that they can just do what they like. It's the same attitude Sony had with the PLAYSTATION 3 under Ken Kutaragi - and look where that got them."

Its not the developers fault right?
 
The actual makers of this "modern warfare two video-game software product" didn't rape any babies as of yet so what are you actually trying to accomplish?
 
Don't hurt yourself trying to stop Corporations from doing what they do best! Just get the game and don't be the odd one out when your friends are probably preparing for the Midnight launch thing.

" Its not the developers fault right?  The actual makers of this "modern warfare two video-game software product" didn't rape any babies as of yet so what are you actually trying to accomplish? "

I won't be buying it cause Im not a big FPS player, I'll probably rent it and finish the campaign. But why does everyone feel the need to justify their decision to not purchase MW2.

Ok, can someone please jump time forward a few months so i dont have too see anymore crying over this? Everyday is more WAHHH WAHHH!

That's still 1/15 of his salary before taxes.  Do you give away that much of your money?"

No, it's about not wanting to give money to them after the way they've been acting. Playing it doesn't really matter. "

Really? So if when the Montgomery Bus Boycott had been going on, black bus riders had just said "Well, I won't pay, but I'll still ride the bus anyways," that would have been at all effective? The 'principle' of a boycott is that you forgo something to make a point, not that you do the same thing through other means to save yourself money. I fucking hate the level of entitlement of this generation. "
