He still has to buy it for the full 50 dollar retail price. I thought starcraft 2 was selling for $59.99? | ||

Blizzard Entertainment was just owned by Vivendi Games This, and also the name only became Activision-Blizzard because Blizzard completely dominates Vivendi's landscape. | ||

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. when i stated nintendo i meant that in general nintendo have made good games. just because a game cant make it to the competitive scene it doesnt make it automatically a bad game. also yes i meant casual gaming just in general.

EDIT: The list is much bigger if you are a 2 year old or soccer mom first off, the wii was merely an example. i dont have to explain how activision is trying to make money in trade for the quality of a game. but lets look at the wii. the console itself is a whole new level. they try to be innovative in the gaming community (for the casual for the love of god). now you have other companies like sony and microsoft who are now trying to essentially "copy" the wii. while they are busy trying to make the product (and bugs and flaws will appear) nintendo is being...nintendo. innovative and just trying to make good games. obviously your argument is being fired at the wrong target due to bad intel. sorry. twilight princess...MADE BY NINTENDO. see how the argument is going here. | ||

Dude, seriously, can you just let it die? Nobody cares that you feel personally invested in one of these brands except other people with a similar lack of perspective, you're ruining the possibility of any legitimate discussion here. I don't see how you can think you're on topic. Nintendo has nothing to do with kotick... nothing. The connection is all in your mind. | ||

But as someone going into business currently, I can say that I have seen my new generation of business people, and I am proud. We are going to replace these asinine CEOs that are destroying businesses, shareholder value, and the economy. Trust me, we're all disgusted with it just as much as everyone else. It's not even about 'milking every quarter' or 'shortsightedness'. They're just BAD DECISION MAKERS, grandfathered in during rapidly changing economic times while nobody was quite sure what made a qualified CEO, or how to plan for long-term value. Turns out, the Internet changed alot of things, but the basics of business have not changed. Time to start hiring CEOs that aren't insane. I really hope you're right Garmule | ||
