Modern Warfare 3 Dev: "We Don't Care About Sales Numbers"

4.5
Speaking to Infinity Ward's Director of Communications and Community Manager, Robert Bowling, at a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer event in Sydney we're able to get a little additional insight into the game and, specifically, what makes the development team tick.

On the topic of whether the Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer crews concern themselves much with the competitive corporate bickering higher up the chain the answer is, unsurprisingly, no.

"Not at all, there's no buy in on that sort of stuff," says Bowling. "We don't care about sales numbers, we don't care about competition, we don't care about beating anyone. Our 100 per cent focus is making a game that we're going to love to play, that we're going to be proud of, and that we know that our fans are going to play. To us, we don't care if there are three people playing it or 30 million people playing it. If there are three people having a great time then we've done our job correctly and we will be happy."

A-Fat-Mudkip So if 3 people enjoyed using 2nd chance and ghost pro and 500,000 people hate people using it, its okay because those 3 people are having a great time? Lol?


LOL! it doesn't make sense does it. the 3 people that loved the NOOB TUBE class with ONE MAN ARMY did not motivate them to keep ONE MAN ARMY.

so much for those 3! LOL!
