Children's laughter permeated the morning sky and junkies shuffled their feet resembling movements of a George A. Romero zombie flick. Everything seemed normal except, that on this day, one of the greatest games was released - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Although I hated it, i did agree with some patches that were sent out early on such as the airstrike damage balancing. Before it, the airstrikes (and helicopters) we’re a bit too devastating. I’m glad that IW supported the game in that way, but there is no excuse for the networking issues still plaguing the game today. I know that it has sparked many fanboy wars such as “that doesn’t happen on Live” and that’s just ignorant bullshit, as I play both SKU’s and both suffer from similar issues. I really hope IW can learn from their mistakes as MW2 is only weeks away.Great Editorial! +1
As much as I love COD4, I have to agree here. Infinity Ward isn't very keen on keeping thorough support on their games. I mean, honestly, with all these issues, we can seriously count on two hands how many patches have been released since the game came out.
I like their games, but their support sucks pretty bad.
for this to turn into a flame war, SKU vs. SKU...

With the bad rap they're getting from the PC community regarding the dedicated servers, this will probably cause up some stir amongst the console community - at least those who give a crap.
