What am I defending? I was trying to understand why Activision has done what it had done with the PC version of Modern Warfare 2. And I was posting about that. I can't be defending any company who abandons any part of its audience. I am doing work for a non-profit sports organization, who has a range of people, and it can't afford to be ticking people off. Of course, unlike Activision, the organization doesn't exist to maximize profits, but to serve the needs of the community. |
I would hardly call IW's desicion "maximizing profits" Because it didn't help against piracy, and it certainly didn't help sales, all it did was to piss people off. They tried to fight piracy at the costy of customer experience, and they failed. Sure they were thinking logically, but they were applying the wrong kind of logic.
I LOVE ICELAND!
