Reading all this makes me scared for the future of SC2, I guess the real-id thing isn't a joke. If they keep following that path, I think I'll just stick to sc2 : WoL and boycott the expansions. | ||

But seriously, Kotick sounds like the Michael Eisner of the gaming industry. Totally out of touch with what the market really wants and just there to make a quick buck off of successful franchises. | ||

Never mind, the whole thread is like a Michael Moore documentary so it fits right in. Unlikely my ass. This company, by definition, has done nothing but extract wealth from capital throughout their entire 30 year history. This is their culture and their motto. They produce nothing. What I am suggesting is no more outlandish than a global manufacturer "exploiting" 3rd world labor conditions, a pornographer hosting illegal material in a non-extradition country, or an auto mechanic who feels entitled to create a bit of additional business for himself. In this case, it's not a question of legality, but of ethics. But far be it from me to expect a fanboy, or in this case perhaps a loyal employee, to understand the difference. | ||

The quotes from Kotick are crazy. He said that his job was to take the fun out of video games? And that they keep their employees focused on pessimism, skepticism, and on the economic turmoil around? Holy crap, Batman. | ||

With respect to the franchises that don’t have the potential to be exploited every year across every platform, with clear sequel potential that can meet our objectives of, over time, becoming $100 million-plus franchises, that’s a strategy that has worked very well for us http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=20984 The OP was very well written and researched. It further proves how evil and destructive Kotick is to Blizzard and the overall gaming community. I think he's easily gaming's most hated man, yet he commands gaming's most powerful publishing company. The only solace that can be had is if karma truly exists. Sooner or later things will crumble beneath him and his (literal) empire will shatter. I can only hope Blizzard can escape before it's too late. | ||

to require us to effectivly sign/aprove the eula in order to close are accounts can't be legal as well. If necessary I'll customer server or billing to avoid that. OR just stop payment on the account as fraud. For everyone in the states that feel there rights are being infringed on I suggest going to the Better Business Bureau on top of posting at major media sites. Also it would be interesting to hear from our Lawyers on some of this. their views and opinions would be interesting. Better Business Bureau http://www.bbb.org/ | ||

Most of the 20 years, that I have provided for growth at Activision, we were content to make products that are attractive to the 16-35 year old guy who has gotten no date for Saturday night. What a DOUCHEBAG! | ||

But seriously, Kotick sounds like the Michael Eisner of the gaming industry. Totally out of touch with what the market really wants and just there to make a quick buck off of successful franchises. I disagree, I think he knows what the market wants, however he's not in the business of making a quick buck, he's after completely raping your valet. There's lots of game companies after a quick buck, they release their games buggy and unfinished and hope they can cash in before all the scathing reviews come in. However Kotick is the opposite. He output games with huge production values, but instead of selling his games for a mere $50 he wants hook you on the core game and then keep churning out "value added" services until you've paid $500. It's a much more long term game then most game publishers play, classically just published the game and if you made more money selling it then you paid making it you were golden, now Activision are hoping to milk the same game for 10 years. And as he said himself, it's working, while he and Activision have a horrendously bad reputation they still have people paying $500 for Guitar Hero. | ||
