And I was with you until you called Bad Company rubbish.
I didn't like the demo, so I figure I wouldn't have liked the full game. I did, however, like other Battlefield games, so I'm not entirely sure why the developers decided to...well, take away a perfectly good formula and make something like Bad Company.

First,my problem with L4D2 is that first will be completely useless. Second installment is certainly a lot of fun,but it's a shame they won't include an update for the first one on a disk. First part will be dead weight,and i'm kinda sad about it. But it's not really a big dick move - as i have said,second part is much,much better.

Second,Bad Company is not rubbish. What it lacks in multiplayer,it gains in humour. But yeah,it would be nice to see a new Battlefield.

Third,people at Insomniac were pretty benevolent - as far as i know,anyway.

I think its these companies way of telling us to stop playing games and go outside and read a book in the park or something.

i think the whole MW2 is to deal with pirates, but i'm not sure. it might be an eloborate joke, though.
Dude! That would be the most elaborate late(or early, depending on how you look at it) April fools joke EVER!!!!

and they even have a good reason to do it. nothing brings notice to something like a good controversy.

Yea well im changing my preorder today to mass effect 2, but if turned out to be something like that, I would buy it on the spot! But alas, the pessimist in me says they are the d*cks everyone thinks they are.

Personally, in regards to the MW2 issue, I think it's sheer laziness. There's nothing morally wrong with that - I'm a lazy guy myself - and it is their game and they are the ones who make it, so they can put as much or as little as they want.

Basically, I think IW spent most of their time on the console version and just couldn't be bothered changing the PC version, due to time, money and effort. They are seeing if people will care.

As for the price - they are seeing if they can get away with it. Mark my words, if this sells well, the next MW game will cost 10 dollars more than MW2. Again, they have a legal right to charge that amount.

This was always coming - publishers and developers would like to make more money for less effort. Hey, that's business mate. As gamers we can either decide that it is worth it, or not.

If PC and console games become too expensive, I'll just stop buying them. I have other things in life to keep me occupied.

I'm with OP here, even if I'm not a player of CoD. Game companies are seemingly taking the market for granted, and thereby they think it's okay to pull dick moves on us like this.
I have noticed it in many games, and I fear it's only going to get worse.
