Comment on Worst fear confirmed: You can't launch Modern Warfare 3 without first launching Modern Warfare 2

Is this the equivalent of lemmy karmawhoring?

No, because Lemmy has no karma system.

I can’t see how this is related to the acquisition.

Activision fuckups are Microsoft fuckups now. Microsoft and lots on industry observers claimed that Microsoft taking over Activision would be such as good change. Turns out: It wasn’t, just as the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox was not a positive change.

The acquisition has barely even started. I don’t think Microsoft has a single say in this games development yet.

I don’t see how a game which was developed pre MS has anything to do with MS fucking up? That’s a soceopathic obsession with hating something.

  The game will be released by Microsoft. It’s that simple.

    You seemingly don’t understand how an acquisition works

    They control Activision now. No grey area. Just like Microsoft controlled to show full screen ads to Xbox users.

Huh? My guy you have 5100 submission score and 7100 content score, not sure what you mean.

  Where? Does some special client calculate that or what? In the regular web UI, there are no points:

  Also, I’m making many dumb jokes about motorsports, usually upvoted, so I definitively did not need to farm karma through a single reply, just to get pulled down again by people who keep denying that Microsoft is in charge of Activision now.

    Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there

    I’m not saying that they aren’t anywhere but it does answer the question whether I’m karmawhoring. And no, I don’t count points I cannot even see.
