Funny you should mention that, as:

Yup, and it still sold like only 1/10th the copies on the xbox. But what I do not understand is why console gamers don't demand more, I mean a lot of things that make online suck on console are not inherent to the platforms, like dedicated server support. When you sell 10+ million copies on a platform, I would expect you want to please your customers that much more, and I would expect the customers to look at the PC and ask why they can't have that.

It sold 14 million worldwide to date on all three platforms combined. From what I've heard it's something like 2 mil for PC. Even if that's a sixth the console sales, two million is still a fucking huge, gigantic, enormous number of sales. That more than what all versions of STALKER have sold to date. For AAA games most consider the break line for huge hit at 1 million even.

It seems like they really don't care about getting those 2 million back again, though. Price hike + no dedicated servers + negative perception among PC customers = what's left at all as motivation to actually pay for the game? Even stuff that should be great for garnering goodwill, like the integrated Steam features (Valve Anti-cheat replacing Punkbuster, Steam friends list/community integration for that iw.net platform) has gotten completely ignored over the furor about the bad stuff.

From the IW forums;

Fucking lol. IW forums are crazy right now, PC gamers cancelling their orders front line and centre...

[Pampers]

Even Hitler is pissed...

And here we go... a petition, ah ah.

No comments about this CompoSITe? Why a decision like this? Your bosses trying to shoot themselves in the foot?

[Jetsetlemming]

Even Hitler is pissed...

"Everyone who has already canceled your preorder leave the room" and, for some reason, "Don't worry, we'll play Uncharted 2" just killed me.

[st0lve]

Please IW, give Hitler what he wants!!!!

No mod tools http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/call-of-dut ... 293p1.html

lol

[CompoSITe]

Lol, I don't see many guys mapping or making unique gametypes or modes for COD4 though.

Yeah, if the community is small you shouldn't even give out tools. Doom 3 and Crysis don't have as many mods going for them as Half-Life 2 does, so they shouldn't have even released the SDK's.
