The idea's great in theory, but the problem is that it wouldn't hold with shareholders.

If Bobby Kotick was all about the consumer with giving things as goodwill gestures and suggested to their share holders that the Modern Warfare DLC becomes free when MW2 came out, even though MW1 was still in the top 20 most played on XBL the month after MW2 came out, he would have been shot down for making a revenue stream disappear, no matter how small a stream it was at that point.

And the "More likely to buy their stuff in the future" argument doesn't wash either because more people bought MW2 than MW.

The only way things will change will be if they don't buy it, but even if every single registered user of TPWW past present and future saw this, agreed and had the willpower to follow through with not buying Activision products until they change grabbing for every penny it can, there would still be millions more to convince.

They're a company and a damn profitable at that right now. If we're too stupid to buy, they're very smart in selling.
