Not really, no.

But it allows you to parody it and go riding bareback into the desert called 'Defending the citadel of Clod' (bit of a mouthful for a desert name I think you'll agree) if you portray it this way.

And it deflects from the actual issues at hand, which is what much of this is about.

The more fanciful paranoias and flights of fancy are treated with fairly equal contempt by both sides, I would say. So no need to worry about them too much.

As for the 'he's calling the devs liars, he is! he is! teacher!' - well that's just low-life trying to get people bogged down and banned. And pathetic for all that.

But then this is what happens - you get into nonsense about arguing about the arguments - which this 'defend at all costs' segment of the fans tend to do. Best not to be fooled by this.

But the game itself, and its faults, have a nasty habit of drowning out the crap and meta-arguments, after a while, and bringing things back to the real issues i.e. how much is broken or not working properly, or not present.

In this respect not much has changed one year after release. Read into that what you will.

Can anybody here claim to have never seen a ctd in their life before COD? since I have had a PC I have had CTD's blue screens, HD's, GFX cards, RAM, fans, power packs all porked, yet for some reason people are trying to convince us that the COD devs are the inventors of the 'memory leak' and CTD and all known problems with their technology, neither is COD the first game I ever bought in a bad state on release, yet again people are trying to have us believe this didn't happen before COD, the COD devs are not the first I have experienced to be reticent on progress updates, just about every Half life game has been released by surprise and had bugs to boot, but for some reason people are trying to convince us the COD devs are in cahoots with Satan.
