and recalling cars because of life threatening issues does not translate whatsoever to "projecting few or no aural innovations in later COD games." Your response is off topic.
There is not a single correlation to what you said and my posts, other than the fact that a minority of owners of said product made the change for all. Difference is, you don't need a poll to realize you need to fix faulty brakes.
You are not interested in debate or truth. All you are doing is trying to get people riled up so that they post an impassioned response that gets them in trouble. You don't care if that gets you banned because you're the kind of person all too willing to see yourself fail so long as you merely get the opportunity to cause someone else grief and misery.
I quote you:
The vast majority of gamers did not ask for this.... of the millions of sales of this game, there are roughly 20,000 threads TOTAL on this forum. Meaning, about 5,000 gamers who post repeatedly are the ones they listened to
divide that to the people that actually complained about sound in particular, maybe 1,000.
1,000 people on a forum aren't the vast majority of players
Those are YOUR words. You provided the basis for what justifies a "valid" response to customer outcry. The "product" does not matter. I used the auto industry as an example because it is an example that gets the most exposure when it comes to recalls. In other words, I chose an example that would be most easily recognized by people that are not familiar with the process of changing a product post-production. In reality, ALL products undergo the same basic review process. Obviously you're in a PS 100 class. You're making the same mistake most PS students make - assuming what YOU have experienced applies to everyone. It doesn't. That's YOUR experience, not the aggregate experience. Ask your PS instructor what that means. Ask him/her "What is the difference between the aggregate experience and the individual experience?" Might open your closed mind a little.
It doesn't matter what you or I consider a "defect." What matters is what the aggregate perceives as a defect and whether or not the manufacturer/producer deems it good business to respond to that perceived defect. How is that decision made? It is made using a myriad of elements. First, there is a demographic model (which means "relating to the structure of populations." In this case, the "population" in question is in-game customizations) created based upon players that use the perk. The demographic classifies weapon usage, other perk usage, and a host of other in-game features. Then that data is fed into statistical calculations to determine who is being affected by what. And that is why there was never a poll taken before the updates were implemented in this case. Just like in the car scenario, a poll is not necessary. Statistics can make the determination. Frankly, that's why the changes they made were surprising to me. You know what the changes actually say?
The changes actually say that veteran DS users were not having a problem playing against Amplify users. Rather, it was players that traditionally do not use Dead Silence that were having a problem. This is evidenced by the fact that many veteran users repeatedly, in these forums, said there was nothing wrong with Dead Silence ... BECAUSE IT WAS WORKING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT HAD IN EVERY PREVIOUS COD. The changes to the DS perk make it work substantially different than it did in the past. This change accommodates new users of the perk, not traditional - or in your words, conservative - users of the DS perk.
Yet, the traditional DS users are not complaining after the change, either!!! That's what is soooo effing hilarious! You're the one complaining.
You know what else? Since you're so in-tune with rights and legal stuff, let's see if you know what "standing" is. You claim that you neither use the perks in question nor do the changes affect you. When it comes to law, that is an admission that you lack standing.
Since you lack standing, you have no grounds to make any argument one way or another in the first place.
