Oh Bobby, you so silly.

How is it EA's fault that Activision totally screwed up with Infinity Ward? Nice of them to throw self responsibility out the window. As much as I dislike EA, I'm rooting for them to win this one. Maybe Activision will learn something from it if they lose*.

*Yeah right.

Activision is responsible for Pitfall, Chopper Command, and River Raid, all of my favorite Atari 2600 titles. How could they possibly be the bad guys?

Because this isen't the late 70's anymore, the people who made thouse games are probably long gone, and Activision is now a giant soulless corporation run by an absolute monster, who uses words like "exploit" as if it where a good thing.

Have you been living under a bloody rock?

Yes, I bought Games from Infinity Ward and one from Treyach.

Seriously. If I were to stop at every games I wanted because Activision is publishing it..

It's not like boycotting them is going to effect them what so ever. Just hurting yourself out of spite. Herp derp vive la revolution!

@Kantham: I'm just pointing out the irony in your statements. To me it's like a heroin junkie who rants and raves that all heroin dealers need to have sharp objects rammed up their a-holes because they steal people's money, and then proceeds to shoot up his next fix. Doesn't make much sense, now does it? ;)

Well then shut up about it. If you don't like Activision, Kotick, and his practices, but continuously buy his products (and, in turn, continue to support him), then just shut about it. Quit the b*tchin, moanin', and groanin'. Simple as that.

Liking the games and buying them automatically means you like the company's business model! For shame Kantham, for shame!

EDIT: Since I got instaposted:

Because -1 to the total sales number and -60$ to 1 billion makes a heck of a difference doesn't it?

If you ever see me work there, I allow you to make as much fun of me as you possibly ever can. Deal?
Until then, I'll still dislike their practice, and if there's a game I want to buy and by coincidence they are the publisher, I'll still buy it.
