Well, time to break out the cracks if I really want this game. I am a 50 year old gamer, and if some douche bag of a company wants to rip me off I can rip right back. Been it I.T. since 1981, write code, and build systems as part of my own business, and only play P.C. games. I have plenty of experience to get past protection, and I don’t have a guilt complex about it, so no lectures about stealing etc. I work hard for my money, and I don’t mind paying a fair price for something, just the same as I charge my clients a fair price for services rendered with negotiation. But when these electronic entertainment companies think that the rest of us are a bunch of morons, and want to make a fast buck, so their executives can live the high life, then roll out the cracks. When the game is in a bargain bin for R50.00, and if I am still playing it, or it is worth keeping, I’ll buy it. This is how I deal with rip-offs, either they listen, or they feel it in their pocket.

You guys are just stuck with what ever they give you we change the rules.

Ahah! so thats why they are implementing their own match making severs! It’s so that pirates can’t host their own matches (because the pirates refuse to pay such a ridiculous price) and they therefore can’t play online as IW.net(the match making servers owned by Infinity ward) will block the pirates . Leaving Activision to rake in the profits and raise game prices.

What a CROC of SHhhhhhhh!

How much does a effing console cost to buy? R3000 – R6000 how much does it cost to maintain a gaming PC (my machine input is sitting at R15000 – This is a poor excuse for a greedy company. YES! Console games should be more expensive as it is a once of price to get the console. This will just promote piracy in the long run with more support going towards hacked servers. FKN idiots…

game devs don’t make games on consoles they use a computer. 80% of console hardware comes from AMD. SO pc gamers boycott AMD by by consoles.

Also half of actvision income comes from wow or blizzard. We Boycott blizzard there goes actision. I would hate to this but if game devs want to declare war on pc gamers they are going to lose.
