I'm perfectly okay with them excluding that whiny ass cry baby from the game.

As has been said, if they wanted to remove him, they could have. But, hoping he may come back soon, they probably didn't until his contract came up last week, and by now it's probably too late. Even if they could remove him, they don't have to, so why should they? If WWE told them to, that's probably a good enough reason why they should. WWE removed him from video packages and dropped all mentions and everything, so it wouldn't be surprising if they wanted him removed from the game too.

If it's something that makes money, then they've kept him in. Punk being in isn't gonna make or break the game, but the likely final appearance of CM Punk in a WWE Game could sway a few people on the fence.

They will keep him in because it will help sales. WWE pushed his "beyond the ring" special on the network this past week. They are going to look at capitalizing on his name as much as possible. I would also think he probably gets some royalties off the game, they aren't looking to burn bridges with him. I would like to think they would want him back. Pulling him from the game would hurt the relationship IMO.

Good points, but those figures and DVDs and shirts were already made or already in production, they weren't just gonna lose money and not sell them, they're gonna sell them because they have no real choice but to. Taking Punk out isn't something that would cost them money or won't sit and gather dust in some warehouse or be given away or something. It'll be really interesting to see if he's in or not.

There is no substantial information available that can confirm whether or not he's in the game. What we do know is that he left WWE while 2K was still scanning most of the roster for the graphics engine, it's very possible that he was never scanned and that could be the reason that he would not make the game, if he's left out.

There's no reason for him not to be in the game, he was still around at the time they usually do the cutoff which is Wrestlemania. His merchandise is still sold also so I don't get why he wouldn't be in it. If he's advertised to be in some people will buy it just because of that. Some people buy the game just because Cena is on the cover.. well little kids at least.

Uh no, there's plenty of valid reasons why he might not make the game, as I already stated, he may have never been scanned, him still being under contract during that time period is irrelevant.

Why would anyone be really pissed off about it? He's been off tv now for what? 7 months? If you're going to get pissed at anyone, get pissed at him.
Some people need to stop looking in the past and in the rear view.
Dude is gone.
Get. Over. It.

I think Punk will probably be either downloadable content or he will be in the game normally but if not then I think Punk will get in like Sting in the sense that if you pre-order that Punk also comes along with Sting

Being as he didn't walk out on his contract and the conpany that made him so rich and fanous. Besides, he'll probably be on a Legends deal for a long, long time. Nice try, though.

We get it, you don't like that he left. I'm sure I'll see you posting again in 4 Hours when the crowd are chanting his name at Battleground.

When were the scans done by 2K? That would be a pretty decent clue as to whether or not he was ever on the roster in the first place. If the scans for the majority of the roster occurred before the Rumble, then he was likely in and now it's just a matter of WWE saying yes or no.
If he wasn't scanned, then I'd assume he's out.
Honestly, something tells me there was less drama backstage than a lot of us assume. He was left on the roster, he's on the alumni page, they still promote him on the Network, etc. Perhaps Vince understood, respected his decision, and let him walk with no bad blood.

Unless Punk gets in as an unlockable character then that is probably Punk's only chance of being in the game at all

Maybe you're just so butthurt that he left, and someone like me(which I'm not the only one) who gets tired of seeing endless posts/threads about a guy who doesn't wrestle anymore. He isn't even in the wrestling business anymore. I'm sorry that some of CM Punk's internet fanboys just can't take someone bashing him. That's not my problem, dude. I have my opinion and I'm freely entitled to speak it. Are you quoting every post that bashed him? Or just mine? Do you not like me or something? Because, honestly, I don't give an 1/8 of a . I live in a free country, and I'm not breaking any rules when I post my opinions in a thread by which I'm speaking on the topic. Get over it, dude.
