Only in the warped and irrational minds of gamers (in this case--big surprise--Nintendo fanboys) could a company be "SOBs" for giving out free games that they never even promised to give out.
You had no expectation of getting these three games for free when you bought the 360 in the first place, so on what grounds can you complain?
Would MS be SOBs if they bundle some game with newly sold 360s, unless they mail you a free copy also? My Premium is old and doesn't have the HDMI port. Those bastards, they should send me a brand new 360.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
