,----[ Quote ]

| to players taking advantage of an exploit
| in Modern Warfare 2, while Infinity Ward
| works on a patch to fix the issue. While
| the servers may be kept slightly cleaner
| for the efforts, the amount of control
| Microsoft holds over owners of their
| consoles, and the arbitrary way they are
| able to wield it, is troubling.
