That's exactly what he , myself and others are talking about!
It's not wrong for you to like a game, you can like and dislike whatever you like ( no pun intended )
The issue is that this game ( not just this game, but this one has a such a high profile it lends itself to the debate ) is sending a very clear message to the worldwide gaming community and that message is...
We will do what we like with our games and we will charge you exponentially for the priviledge of playing.
We will not provide you with what you have become accustomed to because our new business model ( the one we have recently introduced after you supported us thus far ) can milk you all far more effectively and give us control over how you can play, what you can play and when you can play it.
At any point in the future we can and will end the game at our whim and make you spend more cash as and when we feel we need a new car.
Basically they are ripping the guts out of the industry with a new model of make it quick, sell it at the highest possible price and make it short so you will be clammering for DLC!
I mean FFS, they ( IW ) are already telling the world they are adding the finishing touches to MW3. MW3 will of course be the other half of MW2 that the bean counters decided you were not going to have, not even for $60!!
Valve started the ball rolling with L4D and are now continuing with L4D2...3, e.t.c
This is all going to end up costing us gamers more money and ( for the pc users ) restricting how we can enjoy our games.
The only way to stop it is by voting with your wallet, not because you don't like a game, but because you don't like being treated like a cash machine!
When you put it like that I cant argue. It is ridiculous how much cash they are charging for games now.
Come to mention it. How MW2 ended did have that '1 game cut into 2' feeling about it (although I did enjoy it) And TBH, it did exactly what it was meant to do.....make me want MW3.
