You really didn't have to quote the entire op just for a single line response in which you didn't touch the OP.

Seriously.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

why do people consider Activision Evil? because they Multiplat there games?, milk them? and make Huge Profit?

 

OK? LOL




OMG dont quote the OP when replying!! Anyway I think you'll find Microsoft have this category cemented for a long time to come

If Activision has committed any sin (if you can call it that), it's that it doesn't use the security of its major franchises to take gambles on smaller, more innovative games. Activision could father a whole new movement of exciting games, knowing it will continue to make billions off Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. But instead, Activision seems to be eager to find the next Call of Duty.

This is what I've been saying for the longest time is THE biggest problem with Activision.  For the record, what the article missed was what would be evil for THE GAMING INDUSTRY not in general.  To me, it would be mortgaging the future of the industry to just get rich now.  And that is exactly what Activision is doing, because they're burying franchises and genres instead of nurturing the future of the industry.  Its a short sighted business plan, but with the cut-and-run mentality of a lot of successful execs, it doesn't surprise.



Correction IGN. BP spilled 185 million gallons of UNREFINED oil into the Gulf of Mexico and on top of that, they were nice enough not to raise gas prices to 15.00 USD a gallon. Anyone play Fallout 3 and pay attention to the back story?
