Modern Warfare 4: Domain bought, not by Infinity Ward
July 29, 2009
Filed under Gaming
It has been revealed that a website domain for Modern Warfare 4 has been purchased, but not by Infinity Ward. In fact it is been purchased by ZiiP Gaming Community, who are offering the domain back to Infinity Ward in exchange for copies of Modern Warfare 4. (presuming the game is called that obviously)
As reported from Spong, domain owner known simply as ‘James’ has posted a message on the website, directing a message at IW. The full message reads:
If you are reading this, you may well be the web administrator for Infinity Ward.
If you are, there is a chance that you may well require this domain. Don’t worry, you can have it - in exchange for a little ‘good will gesture’ for the little gaming community that owns this domain and has been playing your games for years.
What we’d like is a copy of the game that this domain would be used for, - one copy for each and every member of our gaming community.
If you wish to discuss this further, drop me an email - welovecod@ziip.co.uk or goto www.ziip.co.uk and leave a message to Jester.
Considering that the ZiiP Gaming Community comprises of around 62 members, we highly doubt that IW will hand out copies of the future game to all of their members.
The website has since been updated with a light hearted response in light of all the ‘blackmail’ emails they have recieved. We think the whole story is rather funny. Check out the website for yourself and let us know your thoughts on it.
