EA might suck but they've got my favorite developer outside of NaughtyDog and Rockstar hostage and thats Bioware. Activision doesn't care about quality, they'll work IP's down your throat and nickel and dime you on the way down to hell. They've found out how to maximize profit in the craziest ways, but the majority who just think and just buy fall for it. I call it the American gamer syndrome. That and Bobby Kotick is responsible for dipping Activisions hand in Xbox Live profits.

Activision has a very high bar for quality, higher than EA's for sure I mean at least the games that Activison release you know work. Just because you don't personaly like the games they produce (I'm not a fan of their output either to be honest) doesn't mean they are of a low quality. And if you want to talk nickle and diming then EA and Zynga make Activision look like fucking saints. EA is the company that puts microtransactions in AAA games, pushed for online passes, sells cheat codes the list never ends with EA. And Zynga they are the very definition of nickle and diming with their entire business model built on litteral nickles and dimes by exploitative skinner box designs with their energy based social games, and pay to win mechanics. Compared to those two Activisions really comes out looking better no matter the comparison, and blame MS for the XBL thing they are the ones that giving it in exchange for timed DLC.
You are really not putting forward a convincing arguement for Activision being worse than EA or Zynga.

First order of business before you claim the vouche for the decent nature of Activision. How many AAA IP's has Activision put out opposed to EA? Activision is a train, they burn out a promising franchise to suck the money out of your wallet. They care not for the quality. This is what separates Blizzard from Activision. Blizzard has a development mentality and Activision just has a corporate suit mentality. EA as evil as they are, they are smart. They have gobbled up some of the industry's top free agents and are now putting them through the mill, but luckily not a yearly mill like Activision.
