No they won't. People with three monitors and a rig to power it are a small, small minority. Plus, those people will probably buy it anyway. Game boycotts don't work.

But they allow mulitple monitors in WoW...wouldn't it do the same thing there and inballance things? I think StarCraft 2 also supports it. I think this is really coming down to the console code doesn't like it.

It's a 3/4 top down view, I don't see how having an eyefinity/surround setup will be some sort of advantage. You already have a fair view of your surroundings, including behind you.

Sure they will, judging just by these forums, they have lost many sales. Will it hurt them financially? No. But add up all the negatives lately... multi monitors... no mods... etc. and they are not making a case for game of the year that's for sure!

Gameplay>Graphics

And some extent...

Game features>Graphics

Torchlight might not look all that great, but you can smear its nasty cartooniness across multiple monitors.

Actually I do kind of understand why they don't allow this. Supposedly having a wider view of the map gives you an advantage, isn't that why they kept Diablo 2 to 800x600? Although there is no way they will limit the resolution of D3 to something that low, maybe they will do some kind of scaling so everyone sees the same amount of map.
The best and most fair thing to do is to lock horizontal ratio so that 16:10 sees just as much as 16:9 from side to side but 16:9 loses height.

What exactly has Activision done for the COD series as a result of your boycott?
