I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Wow, this is insane. Aren't there protections for employees in place that prevent this sort of thing?

...

I'm fairly certain most people in the gaming community hate Activision even more now :/

Posted on reddit as well, hopefully people can upvote it? Does anyone know if it's posted to digg yet?

Remember the good ole days when EA was as bad as it got? This is seriously insane.


I just hope that other publishers don't follow suit... More reason to find and buy indie games instead, I guess?

I honestly wish that Activision would get some major backlash for this, but it all seems so mild. Maybe if they screwed around with Blizzard, but I don't think that they're that dumb.

You honestly don't think they are screwing around with Blizzard right now? Everything asinine Blizzard has done over the last few years, since they hit a home run with WoW and went through with the merger, has reeked of Activision.

Why would they do that? Go and alienate their BEST game creating team (Infinity Ward) so that they'll go and find a new producer? Activision is going to run themselves straight into the ground. Any other company would kill to have infinity ward make Modern warfare 3 for them.
I can only hope they don't start doing this with blizzard....But deep down, we all know they will.

This is actually quite old news. Two of the lead developers of CoD:Modern Warfare 2 were fired for demanding the bonuses promised to them. They went on to create Respawn Entertainment (and earning a whole bunch of positive PR along the way). Over the next few weeks, around 20+ more developers that were on the team left with most of them joining Respawn.

Obviously they were angry as they weren't paid in full so they filed a lawsuit.

The world would explode if Blizzard and Valve merged. It would be too awesome for nature to handle.

EA now is ok. Their DRM where you need to be online to play, even single player, is extremely stupid. But most of their games are just simply bad or things like sports games, which I think they make well and they are trying to get some good, original games out the door, that is always a good thing.

Activision on the other hand is just releasing pure garbage or, even worse, absolutely destroying the potential of games (modern warfare 2, starcraft 2) By cutting costs and by trying to "Fix" things they don't care about or understand they have only hurt everything. It is really upsetting. They don't want their games to last 10+ years, they want them to last 2 or less so that the sequel can be made.

Why so serious?

I mean, seriously. Chill the fuck out man. You already have more money than you could ever dream of spending, and enough luxuries to feed a 3rd world country for a year. Relax.

Quality > Quantity. That is why Activision BOUGHT Blizzard in the first place. Because they had made 5 or 6 REALLY good games. Not because they had turned out a mediocre game each year for the last 20.

This is the new business model, to milk the shit out of every quarter as quickly as you possibly can, with no thought to long term stability. Companies like Ford and the Banks that had so much trouble are excellent examples.

Well the entire problem with "protections" is that they're only protected through legal means. Even if they're in the right, it really just comes down to who has a bigger warchest to pay their attorneys. You got 3 guesses to figure out who's got more money to spend on attorneys, Activision the giant corporation, or Infinity Ward, a bunch of nerds who like making video games.

It's sad the way America works, but that's the corporatist state we live in.
