IW pretty much destroyed competitive gaming for MW2 by getting rid of dedicated servers and sales for MW2 on PC just went to hell. That decision is just going to increase piracy for MW2 because they raised the price of the PC version in some places and removed dedicated servers. Smart move IW.

Meh, your loss. I don't plan on purchasing the PC version because I hate playing with a mouse and a keyboard. so this really doesn't effect me.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like you understand what makes this such a big issue. No, it's not piracy and cheating. It's about the lack of dedicated servers, destruction of a PC gaming community, custom content (user mods/maps), and forcing everyone into a closed P2P matchmaking system. This isn't about cheating (except for what people think about Valve's Anti-Cheat versus the previously used Punkbuster) and custom mods/maps aren't the same as cheating. In fact, some games have roots to user made mods like Team Fortress, Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike, Killing Floor, Red Orchestra, and Counter-Strike to name some off the top of my head. Not only that, user mods of games have been noticed by developers and have gotten the makers employment. For example, the maker of the Minerva Half-Life 2 mod was hired by Valve. Also, games have official map packs released that consist of user made maps (Team Fortress 2 and even Call of Duty 4 come to mind). Also, people can use custom mods for the competitive scene where they can add balances and such to the game to have tournaments.

Well if that is the issue, I could see why y'all would have have a problem with it. I used to be a big PC gamer until everyone started learning how to cheat, than I quit. The only games I play on PC nowadays are civilization, and red alert. Counter Strike was the last game I can say I played with dedicated servers. I did like the star wars mod they had for COD4, it looked awesome.
Fact: Earthbound is the greatest game ever made

And yes, it was pretty telling that the PC gaming editor of gameinformer was acting in such a manner.... talk about professional. |
What I was getting at is Game Informer calling its customers, its readers, nerds, actually. <_<

this is about limiting mods and maps. why let the community make them and give them away for free when you can have DLC and charge them for the same thing.
| Pharaoh said: Well I bet most of those guys who signed that petition are cheaters and pirates. I have no sympathy for cheaters, play the game as it was intended. If you want to mod the game, become a developer and make the game you want and mod it as much as you want. These developers and publishers put so much time and money into a product, just to see it destroyed or given away for free at the expense of the general public who just want to play the game as it was designed. |
That's one hell of an opinion you have there.
It's wrong in every possible way, mind you, but I applaud you for being willing to wave it in public. I certainly wouldn't have the courage required to out myself like this.

Speak with your wallets people.
Game Informer is the bumhole of videogame journalism, and that's a tough nut to crack.

But thats not the whole truth about capitalism, thats just one side of the story (the merrier side) Capitalism is also about big business swallowing small and monopoly.
