In response to ongoing connection issues and vocal customer criticism, a spokesperson for Activision has told an angry PlayStation 3 owner that the publisher may shut down Call of Duty: Black Ops’ PlayStation Network servers.

Senior support representative Dov Carson replied to blogger Jason Koblovsky’s complaints by advising that Activision are prepared to close the PSN servers.

“The publishers have the right to shut down the servers for their game at any time as well which based on the number of reported posts from users may be a viable solution over the free PSN,” he wrote.

Carson suggested to Koblovsky that the latter return his Black Ops disc to Activision, offering a “one time courtesy” exchange for another title, another platform’s version of Black Ops, or an unopened disc to return to a retailer.

Sister studio Infinity Ward also seems to be giving up on Sony’s network, laying the blame for Modern Warfare 2’s security issues at the platform holder’s door.

That would make a lot of people, REALLY angry.

LMAO. great job activision, destroy your next COD sells in your 2nd best selling platform, keep doing this to yourself, you're making me happy.

They would piss on the face of nearly 9 million users? I love Activision!!

:O wow this hacking thing is reallllly bad for sonys image.

Go for it! Such stupidity = More possible buyers for KZ3 :P

huh? How is this news bad for 'sonys' image? :S you're confusing me here

Omg imagine if all 9 million people went over to KZ3...I would be so happy! Do it activision!

It would be insanely stupid for them to do that. Millions of players would never buy another Activision or Call of Duty game. I highly doubt they would shut them down. I barely broke down and bought Black Ops on sale.

would be hilarious, and for greater good aswell
