Thanks for eloquently supporting my point...I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, saying that Activision-Blizzard is perfect...but c'mon...the amount of hate being directed at them is ridiculous.
The company is working on many major IPs for PC user base in addition to console users, which tops every other company out there. Starcraft, Diablo, COD, GH…etc etc etc…
They pushed out Wolverine, which is a nice game for a movie IP title (Bee movie…not so much), but yes…they have some shovelware (Fiddy Cent’s shovel…), but c’mon who doesn’t…they are cost effective to produce, and this is a business after all.

Ah, you included Starcraft and Diablo. I can't bring myself to think that Blizzard, some of the most talented devs in the industry, are owned by such a horrible company. Fortunately, Blizz won't let Kotick boss them around, and they certainly won't let him milk their franchises into the ground.
WHY did Vivendi have to merge with Activision?

So you think Infinity Ward and Raven are crap?

I think Infinity Ward are amazing. Raven aren't crap, but nor are they particularly good.
It's not so much I hate Activision's games, just their habits. Not to mention one of my old favourite series, Tony Hawk, has now been completely destroyed, none of the Guitar Heroes are good anymore, and Spider-Man just sucks now.
I want to believe otherwise, but I know it's just a matter of time before Call of Duty follows suit
