Petitie tegen Modern Warfare 2 is nog niet vaak getekend

GameBabe
De marketing rondom Modern Warfare 2 heeft een aantal gamers flink voor het hoofd gestoten. Om deze reden zijn zij dan ook een petitie gestart waarin je de intentie kan vastleggen om de game ofwel niet te kopen, ofwel gebruikt te kopen zodat er geen inkomsten ontstaan, ofwel de game in een land waar het spel goedkoper aangeboden wordt te bestellen.

Mocht je deze petitie, die op het moment van schrijven pas 139 keer is getekend ook willen tekenen, dan kan dat hier.

De petitie tekst is als volgt:

quote
As the "biggest entertainment launch of all time" approaches, you're increasingly making your fanbase more angry. Your recent moves on the business side are head scratching and completely apauling. Tony Hawk peripherals to start, PC and UK price hikes and ridiculously overpriced collectors editions for MW2. Gamers were left scratching their heads wondering why?
Than your CEO decided to further anger your customers with this quote "And Tony, you know if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further." I believe we are in what we call a "recession." What the consumer needs is not more expensive items, but less expensive, which we're obviously not screaming for you to do. As people we speak with our wallets as we know you wont hear our words. Everyone who signs this petition disagrees with your approach and your smug attitude. The undersigned agree not to purchase your game at full retail value. We instead will either choose to A.) not purchase MW2. B.)Purchase only in used form allowing no revenue for you. C.)Import from a cheaper country. This may not seem like much of a threat, but the internet is a large place and your wallets may seem a little lighter come Christmas time. Thank you.
