Crash Bandicoot was one of my favorite games from my childhood. I would love to see Crash Bandicoot 4 from Naughty Dog. :(

Activision are just gonna keep their grubby little fingers around him and never let Sony use him for anything. I have to think Sony has offered them more than what he's worth these days considering the fan demand and their past success with the IP.

I think Activision is assessing Crash as the monster PS1 IP rather than the current dead one. They see the potential Sony could bring it up to and want to charge for that rather than looking at what it is currently and charging for that or a little more. I believe this because even if Sony wasn't making them good offers (which I'm sure they are) for the IP in general you KNOW they wanted him for PSASBR and yet no appearance (IT'S FREE ADVERTISING IF THEY'D EVER MAKE A GAME WIN WIN!).

It's the free advertising thing that's confusing.

After taking Crash Bandicoot off their own website like it never existed, they send a cease and desist letter blocking Crash Bandicoot as an eligible character in a Naught Dog fan art competition. Activision owns the IP, it'd promote Activision, it doesn't help Naughty Dog....why bother? I just do not understand. It is as if their pride is more important than making money. It’s almost like a child throwing a tantrum. “We could not make the IP successful so no one will!”

even when it's already been successful lol
