I'd kill myself if I would Have to take orders from douchbag Kotick,

O- and I feel Bad for Bungie's, Good Luck having to take these assholes crap for 10 years!!

 

Bungie can pull out of the deal if they want to, I believe. They have full control over the IP.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

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

Holy shit that is one serious verbal smackdown.



This guy is a fucking chump. I wonder if he realized that without Call of Duty and Blizzard's games that Activision would have nothing...at all.

Like lets be honest here what does activision have?

  • Call of Duty - IMO it hit its peak at MW2 and will be downhill from here. It'll still sell well but BO will be less than MW2 and downhill from there
  • Guitar Hero - They killed it by releasing multiple GH games and spinoffs per year. I don't expect the new one to even hit 1 million on any single console
  • LEGO games - They sell alright but I think sales are starting to drop as people get sick of them.
  • Prototype - Wouldn't call it a flop but definitely not worthy of a sequel, and all Activision wants is games they can make sequels to
  • Marvel Ult. Alliance - Only sold well because of 360 bundling
  • 007 James Bond series - A series that consistently sells averagely. If they don't give this series an overhaul soon it will be dead
  • DJ Hero - Flop, flop, flop
  • Spiderman series - Garbage
  • Tony Hawk Series - Been dead since the PS1

And thanks to the Blizzard merger they have good PC games like Diablo, WoW and Starcraft.



Oh and edit to my last post, I guess they have whatever Bungie makes too, but thankfully they won't own the IP so therefore they can't exploit it yearly till they milk it dry.



kotick thinks he can talk like this because he has already inked the contract with bungie and believes they cant escape from him.
