[cod] Call of Duty 7

[Tyson]

It was a best seller on Console. It was a bomb on PC.

 

Of the 10 billion dollars worth they sold, only 3% of that was PC. A lousy 3
million dollars is the reason they will exclude PC on the next version
altogether. They knew this would happen that's why they did what they did.
Now they can cut us out of the COD franchise and focus on the locked in time
hardware of consoles that are easier to program for because they are all the
same hardware. And increase the cost of DLC for them at the same time. PC
will in my opinion not see another COD game. 

 

EA/Dice will continue the route of charging GSP a license fee for every sold
slot on all new games driving the price higher for Ranked and Unranked
servers. They started it with BF2142 and are continuing it with BFBC2.
That's why there are only 20+/- GSP's worldwide for BFBC2. 

 

And the little Guys that frequent this list the most are locked out because
they are small potatoes compared to those GSP's with Beta servers up right
now.

I seriously doubt that IW/ATVI will shift back to dedicated servers.  What
do they care?  They can charge what they want and force PC users to purchase
content.  Although CoDMW2 is a best seller, it has rapidly become very
boring.  They really don't care about "modding" or "supporting the
community."  Why should they?  It costs them money.  Yeah, we can all weep
and cry about it, but they know that the console crowd will support them.
