Rest assured that while it may sound like a completley wanky decision, it was made by a bunch of people who are paid to make this kind of decision. We are not those people.
No, I don't agree with the decision. I think it's totally missing the point and I'd much rather they improve console online play to meet the PC rather than vice versa, but it's not like they just flipped a coin and shrugged their shoulders and logged onto twitter and told the world that we were sucking their dick for shit all. This wouldn't have been a decision they took lightly. Clearly we're just all wankers that don't deserve shit from them.
