I'm getting it on 360, so I can sit back and interestedly watch as you "boycott" the game in vain.

When you complain, he acts surprised.
"Oh, it's more for the top", he says.
"How much?"
"4.99"
You leave.
So because we know it will be successful, that means we shouldn't try and stand up for what we believe is right? I can't quite follow that logic.philzibit said:
If you're American, it's called freedom of speech and right to assembly. We have every right to say and boycott what we want.tellmeimaninja said:
I have to say, I find it almost unfathomable how people are getting so pissed off at people boycotting an issue that they quite clearly don't care about. If it doesn't concern you, why are you so determined to silence the people it DOES concern?
QFT. No amount of PC boycott can prevent this game from breaking all kinds of sales records and online player records. Think Halo 3, except multiplatform and actually good.Squid94 said:
I agree with you.. Stick to your old games I on the other hand wil be enjoying playing MW2irishstormtrooper said:
...and when people are talking about how great of an experience it is I hope you feel like an idiot.
This air of superiority some of you non-boycotters have is amazing. People are taking a stand because a developer essentially kicked the entire PC platform in the balls...and you're looking down upon the PC gamers?B T A M R D said:

it will be great on the xbox and ps3 because (myself included) thats what the console tards are use too, they cant see why its such a big issue for the pc community. I was planning on getting mw2 for the pc along with our clan, but since the news, we no longer want the game and will be getting a bad company 2 server when that comes out. I have cod4 and cod5 on the xbox and pc, and i must say i enjoyed the experience better on the pc due to the choice of servers, instead of being put with a group of screaming 2 year olds who think there amazing at the game.

You're not the best example of this phenomenon, but it's still there.
You're exactly right. The two main organizers disbanded the boycott because they felt their goals had been met to the best of their abilitiesBobbovski said:

So really, even if the minority of PC gamers (myself included) don't end up having any impact at all...where's the harm in trying?
Maybe yours, so go enjoy the game if you have no objections.irishstormtrooper said:
Its just a matter of principle among PC gamers that we expect the right* to dedicated servers and modding. To boycott the game sends the message that being able to host dedicated servers and mod the game are crucial selling points, and with those gone, the community no longer wants the game.

Although this makes me laugh because this whole drama is playing out like PC gamers and Infinity Ward broke up, and then DICE caught PC gamers on the rebound.
What a world.
Not that I really care but... why do you even read these threads if they make you so angry? Why not simply avoid them and stop writing replies to them. There's nothing else you can say or do about it. The boycott is going to end sooner or later, either because the boycotters got their wishes or because people simply lost interest and moved on. Until then you'll just have to avoid posts/threads concerning the boycott unless you're actually enjoy being irritated and posting annoyed/angry replies to people/threads.tellmeimaninja said:
