Umm.....isn't an obligation to make gamers happy essentially the same as having an obligation to his shareholders? We may not have stock in Activision, but if you make shitty games, we won't buy them. And then shares will go down in value, which will then piss off his shareholders

The difference is that, he max out on the profit end, instead of a balance in the middle to make all sides happy.

But if he doesn't make gamers happy in the long-term profits will go down. Making gamers happy may lower short-term profits but it's the best way to secure long-term profits.

 

If you make a shitty game who will buy the sequel? Seeing as all he wants are huge franchises he should learn how to make them last in the long-term and stop thinking he can create them from thin air
