IW isn't breaking up from what it sounds like. The two heads seemed to clash with Activision so they were let go but the rest of the creative and technical talent is still there.

They aren't, or at least shouldn't be mutually exclusive. It's the games industry, the customer's perspective should always been taken into account when doing business. |
To me, the sales of Activision's games suggest that they are totally in tune with the gamer perspective. High sales = a game people care about enough to actually purchase. Low sales = a game people don't care about enough to purchase. That's not really arguable imo. Activision has been very successful at creating games people care about while EA has been slipping up a lot lately. If not for Bio-Ware, you could make a strong argument that everything Ricetello has done has been a huge misstep for what gamers actually care about.
