Activision were apparently concerned that the mod would interfere with sales of the upcoming COD Black Ops 6. Not only would the mod have had little to no impact on that front, it would've also helped boost COD MW Remastered sales, as the mod requires you to own a copy of the game. And they would've won community good will along the way. Execs' detachment from reality never ceases to baffle.

Activision believing a mod could compete with their newest release is a soft admission that they have no faith in their own products.

cashing in on the mod and then c&d'ing it is just beyond dispicable

[uwu]

its still so wild to me that they feared that a pc only mod for a 8 year old game was going to influence their new game coming out

[MATRIX]

There’s a very good reason Activision doesn’t want the original MW2 multiplayer to come back. Because if it did, no one would buy the new shitty games.

(Beware the replies)

I don’t care how popular a game is. If a publisher tries so hard to fuck you over it’s not even worth investing money into if that means you get short changed from people trying to innovate them.

Also, fuck Activision.

Activision can't bear to see the community making something better than they have in awhile so they shut it down

[arsmariastarlight]

Shutting down mod over the concern that it would interfere with sales of the upcoming product basically tells you that "we don't have a confidence that what we made with multi-billion dollar's worth of resources have comparable quality with fanmade stuff"

In other words, "we're gonna sell you garbage, but first, we need removed the higher quality 'competitors' so our garbage is the only choice you have"

I am honestly rather glad that I stopped playing Call of Duty.

The funniest part is that it didn't work. The mod leaked anyway, with different teams supporting the project.

[pokemaniac]

This is nearing Nintendo levels of petty to their gaming audience.

[Chillax]

lol it’s 2024 gamers should already know these companies don’t want you to have fun they want your money

[kennedyshits]

stop pre ordering games. refund your pre orders. vote with your wallets.

[harvzgames]

They 100% knew what they were doing putting the game on sale just before the release. I'm glad to see all the backlash they are getting to show people despise this behaviour

[EpicTyphlosionTV]

Reminder that the game was on sale until they struck them down

[bigjtexas]

Be prepared for BO6 to be a disappointment. If Activision is so insecure about a mod for MW2, then confidence in BO6 must be extremely low.

*Activision didn't "catch wind of it", they **_USED IT'S POPULARITY_** to sell their MWR game.. They even placed it on sale for 50% off, up til they shut down the mod **_the day before_** the mod launched!* 💯

If you continue to play a game from a shit company ive got no sympathies when that company bites you

How many times yall gotta get black eyes from these corpos before you understand: nothing short of bankruptcy will change things

[Nobunaga]

Remind me why people still buy from companies that don't care about them?
