Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 is a vivid example of how pc gamers are being disrespected out of exclusive pc features. When Infinity Ward announced that they would not include dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2 geeks all across the net were united and loud in denouncing the decision. A group was formed to boycott the game, while many held true most didn't and went ahead and bought the game.
Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 is a vivid example of how pc gamers are being disrespected out of exclusive pc features. When Infinity Ward announced that they would not include dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2 geeks all across the net were united and loud in denouncing the decision. A group was formed to boycott the game, while many held true most didn't and went ahead and bought the game. In the meantime sales for Modern Warfare on the PC were pretty good, in spite of an industry busting sixty dollar price tag. Activision thought that because the game was essentially a console game on the PC that the game would be able to pull a sixty dollar price tag, and they were right! What this whole thing shows, to me, is that PC gamers are as divided as just about any other demographic you can think of. Sure, they talked a good game but when it came down to it they backed off and bought Modern Warfare 2 for the PC. I wasn't a part of the boycott but I bought the game as well, so at the very least you can't call me a hypocrite. Another popular complaint about MW2 is the low player limit for multiplayer games. I don't understand why they would force the consoles limit on the pc gamers. PC's can handle more players and it's simply inexcusable to place an artificial limit on computer gamers than needs to be. It's pure laziness and it's ridiculous. The only way to make any changes in what pc gamers are getting is to stop buying what we are being given. Our money is what game producers like Activision want, we should punish them when they are naughty, just like we would our children. If we continue to reward bad behavior that is exactly what we are going to get. About the Author: Check out Clay's top ten pc games over at his blog.
