Ok, maybe not kill him, but c'mon, this guy is an oppressive dictator. Security officers, with-holding money owed to coerce people into making a game, and interrogations? Kotick is out of his mind!

money corrupts. bungie, blizzard, activision. the list goes on.

there are only a few like nintendo and valve that make good games and care about the customers. and they dont fail.

nintendo- gaming innovation like the wii. everyone is now trying to copy the wii while nintendo is...nintendo.

valve: still kicking it with the good ol games.

You know, I knew this shit would happen the moment I heard several years ago that Blizzard was bought by activision.

So you want to talk about Super Smash Bros. Brawl and how it didn't fail competitive players of Melee? If you want a list of big companies that still understand how to make ESPORTS titles, here it is: Blizzard and Capcom. Casual games and story-based games are another thing then.

Nintendo?

Let's try to name 5 good games for the Wii

1. Mario galaxy definitely

2. Resident Evil 4, even though it's a Ps2 remake, the motion controls are so well done that it is a completely new experience, and the game was awesome to begin with.

3. Twilight princess, oh wait never mind it's a gamecube remake, and the gamecube version was better!

4. Super Smash Brothers Brawl, oh wait, the single player sucked, the online sucked, and the mechanics were nowhere near as deep as Melee

5. Mario Kart Wii, oh wait, the controls are horrible, the tracks are horrible, the power-ups are annoying as hell, and the dumb slingshot mechanics (wherein the people on the losing side of the race get better power-ups, speed, and agility) fucks up balance.

EDIT: The list is much bigger if you are a 2 year old or soccer mom

Good lord, these big companies can get away with anything it seems, Activision acting like they're fucking Nazis, Apple torturing employees for accidentally leaking iPhones etc. pretty absurd...

With all these idiots fucking up the industry so badly it makes me glad that BW is the only game I actually care about anymore.

Heh that's crazy, almost hard to believe. However, I really am disappointed that some equally insane gamer hasn't strapped him to a chair and beat him to death with a keyboard for being such a greedy mindless prick.

Infinity Ward was a really cool developer, and then Activision turned into the devil and kicked them in the balls.

The worst part, I'm afraid, is that most of their gamers won't give a shit about the situation 'cause they're too busy playing MW2.

Seconded, There could be legal ramifications other than not giving people their money.

Meh still not as money whoring as nintendo in the 1980's and 90's..

Getting close thou, but I don't think anything could outdo that stupid Powerglove Wizard movie or the actual Mario brothers movie. Let's, let's not talk about the cartoons.

If by 'ridiculous claim' you mean 'it actually happened' then yeah. Dude committed suicide...

I mean ok it wasn't literally Apple that did this but they were the ones piling the pressure on the chinese company.

Apple's products are over-priced, they suck balls and they're fucking evil. They can eat a dick as far as I'm concerned.

Well, this just reassures me that I made the right choice canceling my pre order for SC2. I haven't purchased/played a single Activision product since CoD4 and I don't plan on breaking that trend. Screw you Activision and screw you Bobby Kotick.

Then don't buy it. I cancelled my SC2 pre-order a couple days ago because of activision/b.net2.0 bullshit.

Here is something to think about, It's not going to be any different from SC:BW. Heck, BW might be better.

:\ Hopefully Blizz remains its own company, independent of Activision's schemes.
