Activision Abused Guitar Hero, Says Former Publisher

[Kuilui]

Whats that? Activision being incredibly blind and greedy to the point that the devil himself is probably impressed, how surprising. Its amazing how Activision is essentially the collection of all things you should never do when running a business.

Activision ruins games. Also, bears shit in the woods and the pope wears a funny hat.

Gasp! Activision trying to release games routinely to make more money instead of focusing on making a game all it can be!? I have NEVER heard of such a thing!

I notice we rag on big game corporations that seem to be run by people who don't play games (weird, huh?) but really, the people I want to change are the people who continuously fork 60$ and let these companies continue as they do.

Thanks for a good laugh, I needed that.

At the end of the day, Activision only wants one thing... Money. That's it. Granted, that's the bottom line of any corporation, but the fact that Activision doesn't even try to hide it just makes it all the more depressing.

Yeah... does he know Activision's business strategy?
Milking a franchise to the point of death, that's kinda their thing.

And I thank every deity I can think of that Activision don't get much say in how Blizzard roll, even though it's a merged company. I've waited years for my new Diablo; I don't want Kotick wiping his ass all over it.
