Prefacing his comment by the heading, "They Wonder Why People Don’t Make PC Games Any More," Fourzerotwo explains: As Shacknews reports, the company’s Community Relations Manager-who calls himself Fourzerotwo- has posted on his blog to express his amazement at the number of people who have pirated his studio’s latest title, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Call of Duty series developer Infinity Ward has joined a growing list of companies to cite piracy as one of the reasons for the PC’s fall from grace as a gaming platform.
