Well I have nothing else to offer and I too follow forums and have manyfriends who play and enjoy the game for all of its features. As an avidgamer, I would also disagree with any legalities involving a singleaspect of a game as online experience may change at any time. Thepublishers have the right to shut down the servers for their game atany time as well which based on the number of reported posts from usersmay be a viable solution over the free PSN.
In any event, if you would like to send your game disc into us, we can either;
a) Exchange for a sealed (unopened) copy of the game that you can take back to the retailer
b) Swap for another platform
c) Exchange for another Activision title of equal or lesser value.
These are the options that we are able to offer to you as a one time courtesy.
Let us know how you would like to proceed.
You can read Koblovsky's angry response on his
blog,but the title of his post and the venom in his words are evidenceenough that he was not satisfied with the answer. In fact, it would notbe a stretch to say that he was deeply offended by it.
Isreplacing the game enough for consumers who simply want to play Call ofDuty Black Ops online on their platform of choice (PS3) or is thisparticular player's response beyond the pale? After all, some mightargue that Carson was simply doing his job and stating facts. Mostgames that offer multiplayer warn that the "online experience maychange at any time."
On the other hand, when players read thatthe "online experience may change at any time," they do not expect itto mean that the "online experience may stop working at any time."Activision promised free online multiplayer, and for many players itwas their core reason for purchasing the game in the first place. Bymany accounts, they did not deliver that promised feature on the PS3...
Wewill leave it to you to decide, but one thing is certain: Sony,Activision, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward need to address this issue in away that is going to satisfy PS3 owners.
