Ok, so we all agree that the main problem now is Activision's superdickish plans to make more profit by forcing you to pay for any conceivable thing, right?

I'm willing to throw my support for the anti-Kotick campaign, only because he's sacrificing fun for profit. That's kinda dickish...

Stupid Activision's being overrun with businessmen trying to make more money.

And it's not like they aren't profiting. Activision gets money when they sell inventory to stores; the stores then sell at MSRP to make a profit. If anything, boycotting sales hurts the stores more directly. Of course they'll buy less stock, but the damage is already done.

If you want to do damage, find a way to prevent stores from buying Activison's games. Or try and persuade developers to not associate with Activision.

Or get a job at Activision, outdick Kotick, and then pull a heel-face turn. I know you guys can do it; we have like 10 pages of superdickery that could give Kotick a raging migraine!

Yep, and so was the Banking industry when they sent the whole world's economy into the crapper a little while back. But hey, they were just trying to be good businessmen and make the most profit they could so it's all good right?

?

em wont ppl just buy other games,this will hurt iw/av the most as it removes sales from them and hands it to there competitors.
also dont think the shops actually hold alot of stock they will only initially buy enough stock to furnish pre orders and fill shelves then order to keep it stocked up.they will simply not need to buy as many to re stock there shops thats all.

really funny part is the fact that by there own greed they have probably finnished ( on the pc ) the whole series,just like ea did with mohaa a while back.

this is why i PC game so we can simply hack the bejebus out of d-bags and there games and play them HOW WE want to play them

We had a small chance if PC users stopped buying the game. However, since so many people cross the picket fence and purchased the game on the PC side... it vindicates the way we PC-Gamers were treated. (sigh) Guess i better learn how to play on the PS3 or XBOX360. And, if the trend continues - it be a XBOX360 only game soon.
