This changed when EA finally started listening to gamers and began producing original titles such as Dead Space, and making FIFA games that weren’t just the previous years game with some names changed and an updated sponsor name on your Jersey. But now with the position of Evil Overlord of gaming vacant, Activision has stepped up to the plate with its announcement that there will be no dedicated server supports for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But what does this actually mean for gamers?
