I agree with the sentiment, but surely you understand that "Freedom of the Press" doesn't apply here, right?

That's the part that is most ridiculous IMO. Companies bowing to pressure from Activision like...

Dunno how much I like the idea of diverging pro perks. That seems like that would annoy me.

I do like no aim assist in the sniper rifles... I will probably get Blops 2 just because I need an MP game.

What's the problem? :confused:
It's not like they can't review the game after it's released.

It is not a legal matter so "freedoms" aren't really relevant. Activision has the freedom to pull advertising and invites to its media events all they want. It was just the first thing that came to...

It's difficult to believe that people keep buying the crap entries in this franchise. I agree with COD 8: Modern WWII Combat 5 - Black Ops 18. I mean there's no difference anyway. How long can they...

Well that's their own fault. Biting the hand that fed them is not too smart.

Its within Activision's right to do this. If you want to get early review copies don't piss off the company that gives you those copies.
