The timing of this move makes me want to never buy another game from Activision (or Microsoft, by extension). Just such a blatant exploitation of the community.

I think that's been the move for awhile now. I have not or will not buy anything Activision or Blizzard, I would rather pirate if I wanted it that bad. But I'm finding that their games now a days are just copy and paste someone else's usually. This really was a dick move though.

you're right about that. I just thought maybe things would be different under Microsoft, but clearly that is not the case.
