if they really want to isolate gamers (like in mw2 through no dedicated servers) or try to take control over tournaments, i will just play the singleplayer or watch it on youtube and skip sc2. it's just a game after all. and i have other means of shelling out my money than to someone who bought the company i have been playing games of the last 15 years. sucks for blizzard, but that's what you get in capitalism. | ||

face it, you have nothing better to do in your lives than play their video games. you know it. bobby kotick knows it. don't be mad he chooses to exploit your social ineptness. it is why he is the alpha male CEO and you guys are the sheep. User was banned for this post. | ||

Dunno if this post is serious, but I think Blizzard is probably still one of the very best places in the gaming industry to work... I very much doubt they have any issues pertaining to employee retention. | ||

But I wish them good luck on a monthly subscription Call of Duty. That has "massive failure" written all over it. | ||

I was a mild fan of the CoD games, but I didn't buy MW2. It wasn't a hard decision for me. It was (and still is) an expensive game to buy. But, lots of other people bought it. And this is why we can't have nice things. | ||

I'm not buying SC2 and Diablo 3. I've said that many times before this post was even made because I already knew about it. Just because people play games doesn't mean they're socially inept retard. | ||

I think everyone is really more irritated over some issues in bnet 2.0 and then the attitude/comments from Frank Pearce irritated people more. So a post like this really stirs people >< From what I can see... if you make a company and need money... make it yourself, don't give in to someone with a big V or big A. But they've done well and sc2 is pretty darn good. Who knows where the future will go. | ||

through the whole of beta, despite all the flaws and countless calls from the community, endless threads etc, even after that interview with frank pearce i was still optimistic. i didnt like bnet 2.0, and sc2 wasnt as great a game as bw. but it was still good enough and fun to play with my friends. so even though i wouldnt buy the overpriced german version i told myself that i would buy an UK import if there would be enough people for me to enjoy the game with. but even i will draw a line when it is too much. and this is where i draw my line. no sc2 for me. id have loved to have another chance to excel at a game that i can play with friends. but everyone has to set priorities, and what this company has seemingly turned into isnt worth even one customer. i want to see heads roll. not just one, but many of them. until that happens activision blizzard will disappear from my radar. i can only hope that enough people share the same belief and that the only ones remaining will be mindless drones spending their life in and their money on that matrix that this world is creating for them. woot. | ||

 This CEO sounds like some greedy mother******. In the last cycle of videogames you spent $50 on a game, played it and took it back to the shop for credit. Today, we’ll (charge) $100 for a guitar. You might add a microphone or drums; you might buy two or three expansions packs, different types of music. Over the life of your ownership you’ll probably buy around 25 additional song packs in digital downloads. So, what used to be a $50 sale is a $500 sale today. What the hell does he takes his customer's for? He doesn't even respect the customer man. He even plays with the developer's. Games that were close to production and after YEARS of work put into it got scrapped right away. This CEO disgusts me. | ||

MAKE OUR VOICES BE HEARD AND NOT FALL ON DEAF EARS!!! wimpy polls or petition on forum sites isn't gonna cut it! | ||
