Nova could kill DF2 easily enough by just shutting down the server lobby. only the die hard players would bother trying to play through Hamachi. Any modern game today you cannot join LAN without first logging into the network to play it. So dropping support for a game now is even easier.
Dropping dedicated servers was just IW saving money by not needing to create dedi server software, and a server browser. its cheaper for them to just make 1 interface for all platforms. Instead of writing the code for a server browser to work on consoles they took the easy way out and dropped it altogether. basicly they told PC players "bend over, and we forgot the vaseline."
