Boycotting is a waste fo time. Buying used or pirating better serves your purpose. You get to have fun while giving them the finger that way.

Wait. He says this:

"In responding to why Activision Blizzard chose not to publish certain games, he implied the company is not interested in games that "don't have the potential to be exploited every year on every platform with clear sequel potential and have the potential to become $100 million franchises,"

And people only start hating him when he says the price of games should increase?

He used to work for 4Kids, you know.

He actually said that?

 

If so, gentlemen, we have that rare treasure. An honest man in PR.

You don't say something like that! Honest PR is "our console will never beat the Wii", saying "We are an evil corporation and we want MONEY and if games don't give us pots of it, screw them" is going too far.

I assume this is mostly UK gamers... who are still getting games cheaper than other Europeans.

They say RRP of £55 but in reality those games will probably cost £45 at launch at virtually all retailers... that's 53 €, while in most European stores the same game will cost 60 €.

People from the UK... your currency collapsed. Deal with it.

games would cost 100$ and i would bought them if they would worth it.
if instead of releasing games from specific franchise every year/2 years they would make one game from it for the whole generation and then updatre it with huge free dlc packs every 6months simillar to GTA4 dlc i would get them.

if they would instead of releasing Fifa/NHL/NBA/golf etc. games every year released just one and then would offer free/10$ updates with new stats of players, teams, season, new courses, things to unlock etc. i would get this kind of game.

I love guitar hero, and Call of Duty, and I'll pay whatever prices they decide to charge. I have no problem with it.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
