Issue is that all the PC gamers have been doing is bitch about games recently( Left4Dead 2, Starcraft 2, MW2, Rage).
If they were enthusiasts about some game that would give the publishers some hints that there is some hope in the future, but as it is all they are doing is complaining and just reinforcing development studios in the idea that focusing on consoles is the right idea ( and even ValVe gets this with Left4Dead).

I'm sorry?

If all of a sudden COD7 PS360 were to cost +20$, while, say, removing online play (and retaining only a short single player campaign), would you be pissed?

If you had to buy three separate full-priced discs for the entire FFXIII, would you be pissed?

If God of War 3 came with only half the game on the disc, and then the second half was promised in free DLC, but then later decided to be packaged into separate full-priced disc, would you be pissed?

 

Then again, you probably wouldn't - looking at the things that go on with console games (paying for p2p online, whoring out sequals to no end, releasing incomplete games and charging for DLC within weeks of release to complete them), most people would probably go along with it - PS360 gamers, especially 360 gamers, are used to this kind of nonsense, and seem to gladly put up with it.

PC gamers, on the other hand, typically have higher standards.

Thanks for this post, sometimes hyperbole is the only thing you can use to get through to the closed-minded.

 

Honestly, the users on this board need to stop flaming PC fans because we're upset with Modern Warfare 2. We're getting charged more for what we view as an inferior product. How am I going to find a favorite server where I can get to be familiar with 30-50 people when every fucking game I'm playing with random people? How am I going to save money to afford my PC rigs if I'm paying $10 more for games when publishers don't owe a royalty to console manufacturers? They might as well start charging me just to play MW2 online, or maybe they're saving that for MW3.

 

Also, those who are flaming PC users for giving such low scores need to get it through their heads that it's NOT about score accuracy, it's about sending a loud and clear message to Activision. Thus far, PC owners have pleasantly surprised me, as I expected the boycott to never work, but it's pretty clear that more PC owners are going to be spiteful than go back on their word and buy the game. This is exactly the response we need to avoid paying $60 for every goddamn game we buy.

I kind of disagree with most of what you said. You just have to look at my other posts if you want to know why.

And it's not ok (whatever kind of message you're trying to give) for PC owners to give a low score to the PS3/360 version. That's pretty much all I'm trying to say.
