Benga used to do it.

It was hilarious.

I miss Benga more now. Too bad he died =( Or maybe he just got to busy with RL and a new job or something. I was never too clear on that honestly. A mod could use it as precedent to ban though. There are a surprising number of unspoken rules here.

I'm sure Benga is healthy and happy wherever he is.

He was actually waiting for some members to slip up and admit to piracy so he could ban the living Hell out of them. I was kinda waitin' for it.

I know what game I will be pirating 1 week early in protest!

 

P.S. I was never even planning on buying this game to begin with. CoD4 sucked.

You mean as opposed to pirating it on release day like you typically do? That'll sure show 'em.

I may even seed! I don't usually do that too!

Also I have been buying an unprecedented amount of games lately.... Hitman pack (umpteenth time), 2K Pack, indie game pack,  L4D2 (I didn't even try it out!), Tales of Monkey Island, PvZ, Peggle, Commandos (for the 3rd time I may add), KOTOR (2nd time), Witcher (Enchanced Edition!).

This has been an unprecedented amount of games I have bought in the last 3 months and I have a feeling I may shell out money for Draogn Age origins too, at least by the looks of it, pirate version may say otherwise.

 

Honestly, I see people pirating this because of the price hike. Hell this is a far worse reason than people had for Spore, and we saw how that ended up.... Hopefully they do. I'll be glad to hear Activision's whining about how they suffered at the hands of piracy. EA learned from Spore, at least a litle, maybe so will Activision. If they don't all their games will get pirated until they do. Talk about consumers speaking out.

How is this news ?

We know that for months. I searched some online shops and they all had the PC version @ £44.99 RRP, when I wanted to preorder it.

Is the US price new ? I don't think so, could be wrong though



errr amazon has it at 40 pounds down to 35.... I just preordered in case it goes up (they have a price policy thinggy).... still have to decide if I want to buy the game though...

and for piracy... it's nice and all but most people get this to play online... and I'd guess that most people that pirate games do not know how to play online with them.

Spore was different, most people did not think of it as online at first and thus that was not their motivation.



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

At least here you can still preorder PC version of MW2 for 45-49€ and console version for 59€-65€ like usual.



Activision shafts all gamers :)

Activision / Blizzard should have theri business license revoked.



They could very well increase the price to $80 or something like it. People would still buy it...
