[cod] Sorry have to vent, Modern Warfare 2 on the PC

[Seth Sauls]

Well folks now you see why ATVI raised the price of the game by 10 bucks.
Did you all really think that ATVI would foot the bill for this all new
IWNet play system. LOL

ATVI at its best, lets scam even more money and oh yea lets make the PC
players pay for the play system and lets NOT give them dedicated servers (
forced use of IWNet ).
