Portal PC player attracted attention PlumContent player story from the Reddit forum about how he attempted to appeal his account block in the military shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, released last week, by Activision and developers at studio Infinity Ward.
The PlumContent story began on October 28th. A few hours after the release of the project, the gamer received a (in his opinion unreasonable) blocking of the Battle.net account. After an unsuccessful attempt to challenge the punishment, the user created a new account and purchased the game again on Steam on October 29, but was again banned.
Unable to contact Activision, PlumContent went to the company’s closest office in Austin, Texas on October 31 to talk to employees about their situation in person. He could not do it: the guard in the parking lot did not allow him to enter.

As a result, the semblance of a dialogue between PlumContent and Activision has again emerged. The security guard learned from an office employee that the team was short of people and that it would take several weeks to fix the lockdown. PlumContent was predictably upset, but the guardian advised him not to worry so much about a few video games and to be patient.
“The fact that he can’t talk to anyone about Activision / Blizzard is extremely disappointing. I just want to enjoy the game I spent $ 140 on. “– summed up his soul cry to PlumContent forum users, who have purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 twice.
