I wouldn't say that. It just annoys me that people just like to pile on because Activision is unpopular.
It's like how everyone was crying that EA was going to buy Take 2 and that Take 2 was being undervalued and the CEO's weren't just protecting their jobs and bonuses...
And then EA couldn't aquire Take 2... Take 2 lost money DURING GTA 4's quarter... and their stock price is like... a 4th of what EA was offering for it.
There was nothing "immoral" these guys were fighting out against. They just regretted the deal they signed... and rather then wait it out... what with their contracts coming up fairly soon... they decided to play corporate espionage and poison the well before they quit.
Does it suck to only make 5 million dollars when your work makes 3 Billion? Yeah, sure but.. it also sucks when Companies pay tons of money for development studios and the development stuidos never end up making that money back. Not to mention Modern Warfare would of never been that big without Activision in the first place.
