Yeah, this boycott was never going to work. It's a shame, but that's life.

I just took this today:

I think this meme needs to die. Keep in mind that this is only the first 50 users out of 881 (the number has grown despite the group mod removing people playing MW2).

Didn't people already hack it?

I've seen/heard PC gamers talking about how people have basically shown IW how big of a joke their IWnet is by doing everything it was supposed to prevent.

I didn't buy the game myself, then again I never boycotted because I really didn't care. One lost sale isn't going to make a difference. Oh no with my purchase they would've made $550,000,065.16 dollars intead!

Yeah that's the front page of the group which only shows people who are in game. Only about the 1st 2 pages are in game and only about 1/2 of them are even playing MW2. If you scroll through the other 16 pages of players you'll see that only a handful of people actually bought the game.

Misleading pictures ftw...

I wonder how many of those copies are pirated. Just because they're playing it doesn't mean they bought it.

All what this topic taught me is the members who joined the MW2 boycott group like to play L4D2 over MW2. So yeah boycott is a success.

How can you guys say that boycott wasn't a success? Cause a couple of people are playing it online on steam?

Here in the UK MW2 PC version sold 53k while the X360 version sold over 1 million copies. That means that the Xbox version sold almost 19 times more copies than the PC version.

53000 sales for the PC version is a total disaster for one of the biggest games of the year. That's EPIC FAIL

This was kinda funny the first time then the other 20 reposts of it made it get progresively worse.

HAHAHAHA this is one of the most ironic things I've ever seen

Half the people on that list are playing MW2, so they bought it.

FAIL.

Awesome. I bought the 360 version I will admit, but then I thought better and returned it. I don't want to be a part of that game because I know I'll hate it.

Hmm what? I am comparing them to the Xbox version, how else can I compare them???

Fact is 53k sales are really bad for the hype the game got. Just look at the console sales, Xbox 1 million sold, PS3 720k sold, PC 53k. Both console version sold nearly 2 million compared to 53k for the PC version. That's just FAIL, no matter which way you look at it.

850 boycotting is like. Nothing.

Especially compared to what they lose to pirates.

[QUOTE="InsaneBasura"] Those numbers mean nothing when we don't have anything relevant to compare them to, or the digital distribution sales.InsaneBasura

Even if a typical PC game sells 10k copies, no PC game gets the hype and the marketting that MW2 did get. The only big came you can compare MW2 is WOW and when new expanction come out for that game, it sells alot more than 53k, thats for sure.
