In what seems to be a growing trend these days for games may have claimed another victim. Electronic Theater is claiming that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has been delayed until November 24, two weeks after the game's scheduled release on consoles.
This now means that PC owners may have to wait to experience Modern Warfare 2 and pay a premium of $10 extra over the "normal" price of a PC title. How does that make you feel?
Electronic Theatre can today confirm that the PC version of the highly-anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has suffered a delay. Originally due for a simultaneous release with the rest of 2009’s Call of Duty onslaught, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will now officially be late to the party.(...)
No official reason has yet been given for the delay, though Electronic Theatre would suggest that perhaps manufacturing constraints are to blame. Though many may expect the delay to be a measure to counteract piracy issues, as was seen with THQ’s Red Faction: Guerrilla and each of Capcom’s 2009 big three, two weeks surely won’t dull any underhanded intentions, and with worldwide release dates drawing ever closer publishers are under increased pressure to ship sufficient quantities of their titles to meet demand in a timely manner, and as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is likely to perform better at retail on consoles than PC, it’s not surprising Activision-Blizzard has chosen to delay Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PC rather than any other format.
