[...] game they want. Someone’s got a swelled ego. And let’s all not forget the “Infinity Ward, I don’t love you anymore” post, which is even going to get its own [...]

Wow, what a whiny little brat.
“we are your CONSUMERS and you SERVE us”
Haha, a misguided sense of entitlement I think. Fool.

I think the guy has some good points, but those points are kind of curbed by his anger. I mean, stating in his article that there are “a thing called manners” and then he turns around and is rude as all hell. That isn’t going to help the cause at all. yes, I do agree that IW as a company should most certainly be treating their customer base a little better then they are. At the very least they should have publicly addressed peoples concerns about the lack of dedicated servers, and other choices they’ve made. Which, I guess they sort of did I mean, every time it was brought up the answer was somewhat along the lines of “Oh, don’t worry about that; IWnet is going to be much better.” Statements like that don’t do anything for the consumer we aren’t idiots so, most of us aren’t going to take the stance of “Well… you said it IW so it must be true.”

I think that IW is being arrogant as hell. There have been interviews where they say “We want the customers to play the game we designed” which is all well and good, I mean, most of us are going to do that anyway, but not allowing the game to be modded is… short-sighted at best. I think that this minor problem was exacerbated by IW because they did basically tell the PC gaming community to take their concerns and shove it, which is not a way to handle any customers, happy or not.

They do serve us in the sense that they are providing us a product, but not in the sense that we own them, that’s just crazy so I don’t think they are directly accountable to us, especially if we as a community didn’t do anything to invest in the creation of the game. I know a lot of us bought modern warfare, but that’s not the same as investing money into the game, actually taking a risk and dishing out money for something that hasn’t been created yet.

The bottom line for me is that I would like IW to actually address the PC community’s concerns without all the arrogance, I am pretty sure I would be a lot happier, as well as other people if they just approached the situation with some grace, and respect for the gamers as a whole, which I don’t necessarily think they did. This alone could have swayed me to purchase the game, since at this point I have no plans to do so.

Noobtalk indeed. This guy obviously has no clue what he’s talking about. All of his credibility went out the window with the word “cunt”, and he kept making himself look stupid throughout the article. He also has a few stupidly skewed opinions, and what seems to be a God Complex. Yes, we ARE the consumers, but guess what? IW doesn’t SERVE us, moron. Robert Bowling’s statement was perfectly legit, because the copyright infringement claim was so laughable as to be RETARDED. I’m not defending IW’s choices, but this guy needs to just stop writing if this is his style, because he sucks at it.
