		<description>Sorry for the very late reply. But I just had to reply to this.

I think you are either very young, or have never played a pc game. Or it could be both.

The reason that the PC gaming is in a decline is because more money can be made from consoles. Because people like you will pay for a map pack. Which PC gamers would normally get for free. Not because PC gamers are elitist and spoilt. But because if they charged money, nobody would buy it. The reason they wouldn&#039;t is because of the great modding community. The same community that inspired many of the features in the call of duty series. That created these features for free. But now they have been cut off and stabbed in the back.

And to make it even more laughable. Microsoft even charge to create indie content for the 360.... If only console games would open their eyes and realise the pc gamers that are complaining are not being elitist, but using something called common sense!</description>

		<description>It really doesn&#039;t matter how many people play the game today. What matters is whether there is a community to play the game six months from now, and dedicated servers have always been at the heart of such communities.

What really stinks is that everyone knows this, even IW. It wasnt an accident that they gave us all the middle finger, they knew exactly what we were expecting. And while we can only assume that this was the more profitable course, its a damn shame that it meant ruining such a good game.</description>

		<description>PC gaming isn&#039;t in decline.  Its the most profitable platform of all the gaming platforms out there.  You just have to step outside of your box and realize that PC gaming isn&#039;t just a few select elite games the way that consoles are.  There is a lot more to PC gaming than the AAA titles.</description>

		<description>Seriously this was taken on release day.  Only 1 person online in that group playing the game come Friday night now that the hoopla has calmed down.  Better measure of this without the irony is the IGN reader reviews which is currently averaging 1.9 out of 10 after over 900 reader ratings.</description>

		<description>Elitists?  Why because the largest argument for the boycott was no support for dedicated servers? Maybe this needs to be explained to you...dedicated servers are rented on a monthly basis by the players.  And ALOT of people that continually play on those renters servers donate money to the Clan renting it to keep it going and show support.  So the price of the game and sometimes upwards of $40-$60/month to rent a server...I fail to see your logic about getting anything free.

Arguing about playing the game illegally is irrelevant since all show up on any torrent site, and anyone with half a brain can make them work on consoles as easy as PCs.

You can pay for your game, and your content...and play on your subpar console that will be replaced in 2 yrs - and you can let people tell you how to play your game, who your going to play with and how many people you can play with. Congrats on that.

You probably also own a mac, and are one of the first hypocrites to yell at your TV over National Healthcare.</description>
