[cod] Online Retailers Refusing To Sell Modern Warfare 2

[Christian Gerbrandt]

The distribution has nothing to do with the actual game engine.

There are lots of games on steam with dedicated server support.

Even their own games do support that.

Actually, by reading between the lines, it does.  By not selling the game,
they do two things:  1) they will not support steam, a rival company, and 2)
they say that distribution through steam is not acceptable.  That means, off
handedly, that they support dedicated servers.

Doesnt really have anything to do with MW2 though. Just that the retailers
dont want to sell something that will then act as direct competition. Pity,
really. i was looking forward to it being because of the game ^^
