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

[Caleb Stephens]

Shouldn't this be done before 11/10?
Knowing IW, they'll just blame this on the GSP's and use it as fire as to
why they need to get the multiplayer model off the dedicated server
platform.

The sales stoppage is the more powerful pull.  Nothing is worse that
spending tens of millions of dollars growing a race horse just to watch it
trip and break its leg out of the gate in its first race.

On the contrary, if COD4 and other COD servers remain going full speed with
no dip in activity on release day, that would prove that the dedicated
platform is more valuable to players.  And it would dispel IW's claims as
complete and utter myth.

I guarantee you that if they see a big fat goose egg on release day, they'll
announce plans to release a dedicated server as soon as possible.  Either
that, or they'll just give up on PC at that point and speed their transition
to console.


We simply need to vote with our dollars.
