[citation][nom]surfer1337dude[/nom]Quick Note: Why do the PC gamers seem to think that IW or Activision cares? A ton of them seem to complain and say that they could have more money....bad news for you all, they made more money in the first week then any other entertainment company has made in that time frame. Infact they made in the first week what a "hot selling" game makes in the first month. Do the math, they hit an astounding home run. And I know his will be a Negative comment count, but I am just tired of reading all the bashing about the game simply because they didnt listen to you. Sure they didnt, but they decided to try something new. Which should be encouraged, instead it is being discouraged (what if this would have happened to Thomas Edison, Bell, or Allan Alcorn).[/citation]
infinity ward should not listen to the customers? the customers are the ones who pay for the product. if you are not going to satisfy the needs of the customers, then you're not going to get buyers.
as a game developer, you do not take the actions as what infinity ward did to pc gamers. when wanting to make new ideas, you experiment them out off the product line, that is to say you release small experimental ideas on to a new product line. they could have released a mod for call of duty 5 where it had some of the ideas from call of duty 6. if the comments by pc gamers were null, then it means the ideas are bad. but infinity ward shoved their ideas into pc gamers without even considering about their needs. this is why pc gamers are mad.
making money is easy. there is something that is harder for a company to get rather then money. money is easy as activision could have simply have a higher price point then any other game and that would give them more money. but the customers needs and satisfaction are the hardest thing to get. if you can't satisfy that need, then they'll never have faith in you again.
