1. Shio, I'm pretty sure you've been proven wrong about that 8-10 milllion figure before (it might have even been by ioi), and you still try to convince people of it. Give us a break.

2. Vlad, stop trolling. Consoles are putting out great games all the time, and your fanboyism (I love that word) must prevent you from seeing that.

3. Zenfoldor, stop acting like your opinion is fact, or what you say is absolute. You still do it, and you still get owned.

4. People will still buy this game, even with this petition. These same people will get over their hissyfit and buy the game anyways once the hype train starts.

1. That never happened. No one has been able to prove that COD4 didn't or won't sell 8-10 millions. On the other hand I also haven't proved the contrary, but atleast I gave a much more rational and informed response than the ones against me. COD4 just peeked in at 10th a few days ago on Steam, as it still does every now and then. And is also the second best-selling Activision game on Steam right now, only below MW2 (which means COD4 was best selling Activision game until a few days ago)

3. Zenfoldor does like to get himself in that position.

4.4. People will still buy ofcourse, but less than before. COD4 dominated Steam for months, so the fact that MW2 couldn't even get Top Spot as soon as the pre-orders came means that it is suffering from something. But the most important part is that the lack of dedicated servers will do more damage the longer the game is out, rather than the release time. Without DS, the decline of built communities, no mods and overall worse experience will deeply affect word-of-mouth, and word-of-mouth is HUGE on PC.

1. It was this thread. You have some good evidence, but a lot of your arguments consist of piecing together downloadable charts and old press releases until it sort of fits.

3. Well, I laugh.

4. I doubt a large amount of people will refuse to buy the game. Modern Warfare 2 has been running on an immense hype train for a year now, and a lot of people will still buy even with this change. I expect the same for Starcraft 2 and LAN.
