Already signed it. PC is probably the only place where the hardcore gamer outnumbers the casual for things like this.
Slightly unrelated but I remember Ensemble studios saying they'd made a mistake in Age of Mythology by trying to make it more open to casual players when they should have focused on the main hardcore players who kept Age of Empires 2 alive online for ages. Feels like this could end up being a similar situation.
Is this really Infinity Ward's decision or is Activision calling the shots on this? It seems odd a PC-centric developer would decide this.
