Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

We showed Bungie and Microsoft that we're willing to buy Halo games and recommend them to our friends no matter how broken they are. If we boycotted the games to begin with they might try harder to deliver a worthwhile product. Personally, I sent mine back for a refund.
Bungie did't make H2V. They only contributed the origonal content.
It doesn't matter, it's the message thats important. If we had boycotted the game it would have sent M$ a message at the least, and they are the people who will be making H3 PC, our last chance at a Halo Port that doesn't suck its XBox companion's dick. The problem is is that we don't know how Microsoft will interpret low sales. They could realize it's due to a boycott becuase it's a -blam!- port and they need to do better on H3 PC, or they could see low sales as low interest for Halo ports, which could lead to no H3 PC at all. If a boycott were to truly be noticed, it would have to be massive, as in an organized effort and getting as many people as possible to participate, and not just boycotting H2V, but all microsoft products, for maximum hurt. It doesn't matter so much how we hurt M$ as long as they know why we are hurting them. So we would have to try to find a way to make sure M$ notices that this boycott is due to dissatisfaction with H2V. Unfortunately, it is a little late for a H2V boycott, and H2V wasn't that important of a release anyway, but I hereby propose a boycott of all Windows LIVE games. Not neccassarily the entire Games For Windows brand (possible though, to maximize hurt-see above-) but the LIVE games at least to show them that we will not be made to pay for services that are standard in most games, services that in too many cases are supplied by us in the first place (i.e. the ability to join a freind in-game without hunting from server to server, ability to join a non-dedi server, the ability to download user-created maps in-game from another users computer, etc)
I've thought about this. And wtih enoguh people, it just may work.Is dis sum tiem fro /b/ raid?
