SF_Llama wrote Think about it like this. People get banned and don't want to play anymore or buy the map packs.

It's not just 1 map pack they are loosing money over. they said for 9 months they would be coming out with dlc. that's millions of cash they could be getting from banning everyone

and you do know that a good majority of those players will continue to play and buy the map packs....

and if you think about it

less people will quit from being banned then how many people would quit if they didn't get banned.

why are you going to quit. dont get mad because it was on your hands. YOU decided to do it. dont get a hurt . im not on their side or yours im just saying. if i got banned i probably woudlnt play wither but it wouldn't be their fault

does anyone think the whole ban thing is bull :idea: ?

True mate

I Wouldn't pay 4000msp for cod elite if i was going to get banned

or

I Wouldn't pay 1200msp for the map pack either

And many more will think like that which will make a major impact on IW sales

About 20 million copies sold...1% of them do the glitch...Based on the amount of CoD elite members, about 50% of them have CoD elite. At most they'll lose like 500k. Which is nothing compared to the billion they've gotten from sales...A little logic goes a long way.

Use wrote There's 11 million people on MW3 on Xbox alone, supposedly there's 200,000 people who have done the glitch they're hardly going to lose a lot of money, lol.

20$ per map pack
200,000 people quit
$4,000,000 in losses


hardly not a lot

200,000 out of 200,000 people will not quit, thats a fact, i think a good guestimation would prob be around 80,000 and its $15 per map pack, so...more like 1,200,000

considering they made $60 per copy and $50 per COD elite membership (some being $40 cause of hardened edition) thats not that much comparing the two.

"The title grossed more than $775 million globally in its first five days of availability"

so about 2 million bucks compared to AT LEAST 775 million bucks just from the first week of sales isn't that much...

and they are losing less money by banning these people then not banning them and letting this glitch ruin the game.

Very good point makes me laugh!

Well, if 200,000 or probably more did the glitch... 200,000x20=... :O 4,000,000 loss in profit... and then there will be more map packs released later so i see where you are coming from

Yes it will stop a very small percentage of people buying the map packs but the lost sales from banned people will be made from the other 8 pieces of DLC coming out.

In the long run they will still make a shit tonne of money of the DLC.
