The Stimulus Map Pack

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

This? THIS is what you give to PC gamers for shitting on everything that they know and love about PC gaming. You remake a couple old maps and slide in a new one or two? You ship a PC game WITHOUT dedicated servers, something you failed to mention until close to launch, and then you expect them to just lay back while you fuck them out of another 15 bucks?! Wow.

Why do you people let them do this? Why do you buy these games and allow this to continue. As much as they are the problem, the community is to blame. If we didn't buy these half-finished, half-featured games.... well, then they'd pull an EA and stop making the game for PC at all (in reference to them ditching the Madden series after Madden 08). In the case of EA, though, they own the rights to, basically, all of the NFL and no other company can even make a game to compete. It's really, really sad.

I don't play, have never played and do not intent to play Modern Warfare 2. The lack of dedicated servers for the PC instantly made the decision for me, upon release of the game. The fact that months later they rehash old content and charge people money is just... awful. I remember when Half-Life was the GAME and Counter-Strike was the MOD. While I understand that those days are gone, quality games should still make it to PC... for the PC.

I really look forward to the next batch of gaming coming to PC over the next few years, those that are full Direct X 10 and even the new games that give us glimpses of Direct X 11. I hope that these games can help me wash the bad taste out of my mouth, the last five or so years in gaming has been mostly lackluster. We keep supporting it, though and end up with... A Stimulus Map Pack. Sigh.
