It goes along in the same vein of those stupid iPad contests. I don't really have any use for one, nor would I ever buy it on my own volition. But I'll sure as hell enter my name into those contests to get a free one. Because honestly, what could it hurt? If anything, I increased the chances of any positive outcome. Same mentality.

Forfeiting a positive chance, no matter how small,  just to stick to a principle, is pointless unless it's a matter of life and death. :P But for a leisure activity? Pfft.

No No No. This is like the opposite of signing up for a free one.  You actively signed up saying you would boycott it entirely on a certain condition (LAN support) that was not met.  Yes I understand the concept  winning a free one.  And i'm sure you would put use to a free ipad the same way I would probably play this if someone gave it to me.  BUT I'm not turning around and asking for a one.  I'm just shocked that you signed up on some raffle mentality about getting over on Da Man.  That's exactly why they don't give a damn.  Ooo way to strike fear into a company with a fake boycott.

More on the life or death thing, it's like you were some vegan that said they're rather die then eat meat, BUT lo and behold you didn't even wait to get close to being hungry or starving.  You looked around the room saw no salad bar and said Fudge it give me some of that free range chicken, cause everyone else is eating it.

Oh good grief, it's not that big of a deal. I signed it because we wanted to show off 200 signatures right? If the only to sign the thing were the only people hardcore enough to stick with it, there would have been a LOT less signatures, and that wouldn't have looked very impressive on the DICE/EA forums, now would it? :P Doesn't matter now, though. No point in continuing this dead horse of an argument.

Honestly, it really displays your integrity.  Just sayin'.  If you knew you were going to buy the game regardless of lan support or not and "with the likelihood of me attending any lan this year being extremely slim" - which basically means you could care less for lan support in general - you should not have signed the petition.  I believe it wasn't for show, and I think 99.9% of the people who did sign it also didn't do it 'for show'.

I have been pretty much keeping my mouth shut on some of the comments about this subject.  But I couldn't let that comment go unnoticed. 

Sure EA/DICE could probably care less about a small group of gamers, but maybe....just maybe...this could provoke even more gamers (PC gamers) to continue in the effort to make EA/DICE notice that they are Fudgeing with one of their most loyal fan base.

Good lord, people. I signed it. It's done. Scribble my name off the banner if you want.
