So.. As some of you may remember.. I'm not the biggest Modern Warfare fan. But I decided to put aside my prejudice and pre-order Modern Warfare 3. Plenty of people will be playing, and it's not a half bad game to drink and play with some friends.
Now, some game retailers have had trouble with street release dates. Usually that isn't too much a problem. As it shouldn't be seeing as how it's the retailer/ distributors fault for either not correctly labeling the packaging or not caring to notice. However... Activision apparently sees this as an issue.
At first it didn't seem that way to Xbox LIVE Director of Policy and Enforcement, Stephen Toulouse(click to see his twitter and posts that I mention below). He tweeted the following "For those asking about MW3 pre-release play: If your copy is legit and obtained legitly, have fun. It's a great game". Makes sense, eh? I guess Activision caught word of this and thought otherwise. Not too long after he tweeted this : "clarification: dblchk'd with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorized, So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!". May impact my account? The fuck? How would it possibly be detrimental to their sales or impact THEM in any way if I played a few god damn days early? That's a huge fucking slap in the face to their customers. Oh well, it's not like you'd have to wait too long now anyways, Modern Warfare 3 drops this tuesday November 8.
