Word is spreading...Ars Technica had an article yesterday...we may be minority gamers (PC users that is), but the rumbling of discontent is spreading pretty wide.

lol I came here to get the scoop/opinion on this issue but as always I'm not disappointed with the uber geeks :stongue:

Seriously, WTF??

Not to sound like the Devil's advocate, but what would be the positive of such a decision? Is there one?
Cheers, Damnidge

Thanks for the article link Karma. I read it and all the links it pointed to. Very enlightening. I did find fourzerotwo's points interesting though, and I also strongly believe in not fully judging something until I have experienced it firsthand. I'll be able to do just that as my wife got MW2 for me for my BDay (I think).

As I was reading all the articles I remembered Skaank talking about how he might just buy a "PS4" next time instead of building a new gaming PC, due to how all the PC games were "ported console games." For those that want to play only mainstream games, that may very well end up being the case. I just hope they keep Crysis on the PC!

Well...more news...there was a "developer chat" hosted by BestBuy yesterday...here's a short article about that along with some of the PC related Q & A:

And, if you can stand it...a transcript of the whole thing here:

http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming/Cal ... td-p/67692

Soooo...no console....no "record" option....no way to kick players out of ranked games....no more leaning....they don't give a fig about how some ISPs won't allow peer to peer connections....uber short sightedness ftw.... :\

I never played this game but I know how everyone loved it, it is a damned shame that big business don't care about the minority anymore if they ever did but we fought a good fight at 180,000 plus signatures... That really is an amazing number. I'm sorry guys and gals, that truly sucks.
