If Activision were a company that cared about their customers then they'd be supporting their older titles. Modern Warfare and World at War are rampant with hackers by now and once Modern Warfare 3 comes along number 2 will face the same neglect.artanis_neravar said:
If they wanted to deliver a quality experience to the consumer they'd had improved and refined the formula, listened to the complaints from players that speak out rather than listen to the numbers of players that don't. Instead of increasing in quality the games have either degraded or maintained the steady baseline. Even as a publisher Activision should have an active role in listening to consumer issues, which I can't think of a single example of them doing.
Sure there are developers and publishers that care what consumers think. But when it boils down to it Call of Duty has been a one trick pony so far, seeming to have hit the roof with Modern Warfare and now it's a recognised name. We all know the next Call of Duty will sell big even if it turns out to be a horrible game.
And you know what will be happening at Activision HQ? It won't be Bobby Kotick going: "Oh no, poor consumers. We've pushed out a terrible game and now they won't be able to enjoy themselves!". No, it'll be: "Noooooooooooooo! Our brand loyalty!".
