Let's spin a nice scenario off this. Say that these protests are real, and then large numbers of individuals storm off and don't buy MW2. However, the combine sales of MW2 on consoles goes well over 10 million sold. The PC platform doesn't even break one million. What prevents Activision from looking at this and then says that PC development isn't worth it, considering the headaches to support it, and also the piracy. End result here is the PC gamer may no longer have Call of Duty on it, and Activision ends up going straight console with the game. This becomes more true as the PERCENTAGE of the PC gaming market becomes less and less important. Activision will end up caring less about the number of people playing, including pirates in third-world nations, and game centers where they hang out.
