pc gamers shouldn't feel lucky they got any game and they should demand quality just like any good gamer will. If it wasn't for PC users, COD wouldn't exist. Games like cod4, wow, total war, etc show that you can make alot of money on the pc very easily if you just make a quality game. All of these games show that if you make a quality game and respect your fanbase like all of those developers do, the PC community will reward you.

IMO the effect of any boycott of the PC product was diminished when people bought the game and then thought activision would change it after they already had their money..i say -_- to those people. Anybody with a brain knows that IW did all of this for money and to charge pc users for content from this point forward. It had nothing to do with piracy, an easy multiplayer experience or nothing, just simply them wanting more money and I'm proud to say they won't get any of mine.

Maybe they wouldn't exist, maybe they would. Regardless their consumer base has moved on to consoles they have more money, they are happy to pay through the nose for features we expect for free and they are as ignorant to any missing online features. Sure PC gamers maybe more loyal but if you compare 500k sales to 3 mil. Guess which the publishers like more?

Activision don't give a **** about quality any more, they don't care about games, they care about franchises. The people who cared about games at the top are long gone and replaced with scum from the music, food, marketing industry who are all about profit margins and casual gamers. This attitude appears to be slowly seeping down in to developers, look at 402 for example the dense prick has no idea who he's talking to and constantly has a condescending attitude like he's talking to his tween demographic. He isn't a gamer he came from the music/publishing industry and doesn't know how to communicate to gamers.

Will anything change in the future? Maybe when the casual gamers clue up and we go for another gaming crash of the 70's.

You can pirate games and add them to steam as 'non steam games' and I believe one of the pirated versions kept the steam component in-tact but I'm not aware of how that works with the online services thing. Point is people may boycott it and yet still download the pirated release and believe they are still boycotting it by not paying.

Non-Steam games will show up as "In non-Steam game' instead of "In-game." And I don't see people risk getting their Steam account banned for loading a cracked Steam DLL alongside the legit Steam DLL.

It is clear the reason why they shafted the PC so much is because they didn't want to expend the effort other than pretty much a straight port from the console. If they were too lazy to do it then, no amount of petitions would make them do it right now since clearly they don't value PC gamers.

I would sign it, if you didnt add all the extra crap. We just need the basics of multiplayer. not all the addons you're asking for.

How do you expect them to give us what we need for pc gaming, if you're making it pointless with the requests?

All of the features we're asking for with the exception of a little effort on their part are already coded into the game.

The listing is the feedback from the entire PC Community - it might not all effect you but it effects others. If you want something on the list the best way to get it is sign it takes 15 seconds. Worst case we get no where, best case we get somewhere and you get what you'd like.

Sorry, but I think this is stupid as well. If you didn't like the features, you shouldn't have bought the game. You can't buy a game and expect to make demands. They've already got your dollar, what do they care if you're angry?

I didn't and a lot of people who said they wouldn't didn't. However a lot of people did and they're releasing we were right. It's about one last fight and then if it fails moving on, for the effort of 15 seconds to sign the community who believes in this isn't asking a lot.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
