Bobby Kotick Holds Dedicated Servers Hostage for COD MW2!

In what seems to be an attempt to end modding altogether for the COD franchise and hold the community hostage for new content, Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision, has withheld dedicated server support from Activision’s PC version of the release for COD: Modern Warfare 2.  Why would you do that?  The online multi-player service provider Infinity Ward, which had to cost Activision more to use than dedicated servers, will give the Santa Monica, California based publishing giant, total control over any and all content pushed out for COD Modern Warfare 2.  Are the days of modding your favorite games on the brink of extinction?  I sure hope this doesn’t become an industry trend!  This title has already banked more money than any game or movie ever has, ever.  Apparently, that’s not enough, and Kotick is determined to take the fun out of making video games.  Perhaps somebody didn’t know how to share his toys as a little boy?!  Greed, really, it’s what’s wrong with the world today.
