not bad, and you should realize that the 360 version is the one that hurts activision the most. The PC version should have broken even and since it used Valve's Steamworks for their upgrade system was really cheap to setup a basic online structure as it has.

So in the end, the PC version has the most pirated numbers, but the least cost as Activision has to pay Microsoft for its use of XBL and each sell lost is less money Activision has to pay..

 

And you think Valve is letting them use Steamworks at no cost ?

Valve isn't a non profit organization. They get their cut of everything related to Steam..

yes, since Steamworks is free for any developer to download as long as its approved for Steam sale. CODMW2 was.

yes but Valve gets a cut from the Steam sales right ?
