Just to set the way back machine - when Call of Duty 3 was released for consoles only - PC owners took this as an insult to those who had helped develop the game and also paid their money to get snubbed. Also backup and support for the game series itself was extremly poor to non existent
The gaming clan I am in - organised a world wide boycott of all call of duty servers and it ended up with over 90% of game servers being locked off in protest. This caused a good deal of harm to activision share prices and resulted in CoD 4 and 5 being hurried along to include PC versions.
Now it seems again we get snubbed by an "exclusive rights" deal - we were promised the date for Wii and Playstation only for this date to be retracted and a silence from Harmonix and EA. except for - "no release date is given at this time."
Harmonix MTV Games and EA : We are customers who have bought your products with our hard earned cash and this is basically a "thanks and stuff you" response.
I'd like to call on ALL users to boycot all Harmonix / EA rock band related products and online gaming activity until the situation improves-
Also spread the word around every gaming related forum you can find.
If you have messenger programs - if you can change the description for displayed information then edit it to express your anger at the situation - the more people who involve themselves then the bigger the voice will be.
I did have RB2 on order with play.com - this is now cancelled and I urge anyone else who has orders pending to do the same
