Most probably the reason for this decision is because Activition doesn't want you to resell the game. Once it is bought and register to your account, it's there forever. Unless you are willing to sell the account, or purposely made a new account just to try out MW2.

agreed ! some of the biggest way the industry loses money is by reselling the game as used games, not pirated games.

these higher management people are looking at making $$$... becoz of that, they loses damn alot of $.

the only way to reduce is permanently bound 2 ur account, such as steam, with that they reduce the money lost to minimal.

the fact the game cost so much is becoz IW handles the multiplayer, while steam handles the login, the updates, the game DLC, News .. bla bla bla..

therefore Activision pays to IW and Steam to get their service. that's why it's expensive.

i am only guessing.

tl;dr version, apparently quite the bunch of people have been getting antivirus warnings and have painted IW.net/p2p/shitty code as being the cause of a purported outbreak of trojans. i.e. if this thread is to be believed, playing MW2/IW.net at this time may or may not be a security breach allowing someone to execute code on your machine.

For the paranoid, it's a good time to take a break until at least IW presents a statement about this.

i am paranoid.

I had the detection via avira yesterday and the whole game stops and dced.... not sure am i the only 1 dced.
if this is true, hackers are able inject codes into packets and launch it.. i guess play private matches at the moment will be safer.
