Modern Warfare 2
Ikrik:
I want every single one of those people who are playing MW2 and signed the boycott to be lined up and shot. Or at least be given a kick in the nuts by a courier who also says "congratulations, you've proven to Activision that they don't ever have to take you seriously, ever." Wonder what Activision will do next for MW3, make it $10 more expensive? Probably.
And if enough people get pissed off with Activision they'll stop buying the products. It's not going to make a huge dent but when the casual masses move onto something else, Activision won't have a core audience to sell their crap to.

Stealing it only says "I feel entitled to this game, and my money." It sends absolutely no message as to the quality of the game, since you're still acquiring the game.

Or it says "I have a limited gaming budget, and I spend money on the games I think is the best ones, while the mediocre I just download while waiting for/waiting to afford something better". It's like my music - I can't nearly afford everything I download, so I pay for whatever that's still interesting after 10+ playtroughs.
Not that I think it's a moral high ground or anything - I just don't think that it's theft. It's like breaking into the cinema at night to watch movies, just that you don't use any of the cinema's electricity and don't break into anything. They don't loose money, they just doesn't make any either.
TL;DR: Downloading a movie isn't comparable to stealing a car, you dipshit commercial fuck.
Bastardous Bassist:
That last part is true, and the rest might be why you think you download, but you should be aware that it's not the message you're sending. I would point out that you are coming off as feeling entitled to consume something that you have not purchased.

Oh you win, PC gaming is going to be better for it. Bravo.

That's exactly what I'm not doing. No, no kind of boycott will actually make the publisher think twice, blah blah blah blah blah. But fuck if I'm paying for such a shitty product.
In conclusion, go eat dicks.
