Someone from EA replied responded:

"Kotick’s relationship with studio talent is well-documented in litigation. His company is based on three game franchises – one is a fantastic persistent world he had nothing to do with; one is in steep decline; and the third is in the process of being destroyed by Kotick’s own hubris."

Jeff Brown, EA corporate communications VP

i think Jeff Brown is being a bit too nice.

whats the one with fantastic persistant world ? , what games that ISNT on decline by them? and what ISNT being destroyed by Koticks own hubris?

World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero and Call of Duty I think

Yeah. that was my impression, although I think he was probably refering to Starcraft also with the first.

Additionally, saying that Guitar Hero is in steep decline seems a bit like saying the Roman Empire is in steep decline

this is a joke, EA have suda 51 guys who are considered one of the best developers in Japan working for them, they have DICE the best online shooter company they have plently of people working for them. if i was a game developers i wouldn't work for activision, they extreme deadlines is just too much to handle

Grasshoper Manufacture is an independant studio, that is having a single game published by EA. I hardly think that counts, not when there are a thousand other much more accurate responses to Koticks shitty troll

So, Blizzard as a whole with the first one, you mean.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I've been saying that for a while now. He should have his own thread and have it stickied!
