s1k3sT Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'd sign if it was only for dedicated servers and mods, but there is no point when there is no way in hell they are going to do all that stuff... Keep it simple at first, if they listen then ask the second time for the extra stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2009 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.

Starcom826 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwevrsn Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 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.
