[It's about time!!!]
[Fuck yeah! Read this people of the Sun]
"The numerous problems with the PlayStation 3 and PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops' have prompted action from UK consumer group Gamers' Voice, which is planning to report Activision to the Office of Fair Trading.
Call of Duty: Black Ops, which racked up over $1 billion for Activision after its first week on sale, has been plagued by network issues on both the PlayStation 3 and PC, and while patches have been issued the problems reportedly persist.
Gamers' Voice, an independent pressure group set up by MP Tom Watson, has since expressed its intention to report Activision UK to trading standards about the issue.
"Clearly, CODBLOPS was the one of the biggest, if not the biggest release of last year, which obviously leads to more people playing and more chances for bugs to be found. Our view is that it doesn't matter how big a game is, it should not be released 'unfinished' or with bugs that make the game unplayable," said a statement on Gamers' Voice's official site.
"Problems arrise [sic] when, in the case with CODBLOPS, entire sections of the PS3 and PC gaming community are apparently being used as game testers for an extended period after a game's release, yet being asked to pay for the privilege," it continued. "This is not a tenable way to treat us as consumers of video games and it will not be tolerated."

[It would be nice if gaming companies would get more shit for releasing unfinished games though. With enough force, game companies could be put in their place. Let's face it, unfinished BETA game releases are becoming a huge problem. It's like fucking cancer, eating away at the industry. Something needs to be done]

I still like the effort, but I doubt it is representative, as far as future trust in Activision goes.
