Was any of that true or complete BS? I thought EA was bad but I will kick activision's ass if they think they can get away hostile takeovers.

It was probably a promo thing or something, but this guy 'escaped' and never found out. Good story either way

I was unwittingly pushed out of the building by my savior, a Mexican guy whose nametag read, "Jesus."
That was hilarious. Thanks for starting my morning off nicely, even though now I wish I had a hashbrown-wich.

That was brilliant. These articles are both a clever satire of the games industry, and gripping comedy-fiction to the tune of a Cracked.com article.

Short and sweet (like my penis) and hilarious as hell (like my penis). Keep em comin man!

Well if it is Infinity Ward - They make sets of games about that kinda stuff, maybe they wanted to see how people actually responded to stressful situations... If that isnt the case, then that Mailer has a good imagination... or whoever wrote it
Nice avatar btw

You have got to be kidding, do you have any idea whatsoever how illegal that would be, like, any idea at all

This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read. Good job Marion.

Gawd, I laughed until cried. Then I read it again, laughed some more, cried a little. Then I hugged my iPad.

Brilliant, hiding the truth in an internet humor piece to avoid the attention of EA was a great move.
'Hiding the truth'? I thought it was suppose to be a piece of satire poking fun at the whole "Activision is evilz! Everything about this mess is their fault!" and "Poor Infinity Ward, I can't believe how oppressed they've been over there! They couldn't possibly be in the wrong whatsoever!" schtick that seems to be the conventional wisdom about the situation.

I especially loved the bit where Kotick puts his gun to his head and starts sobbing. That image will always put me in a good mood now.

Nice article, Marion!

That's about the most believable thing I've read from Marion Cox.
Although to be honest, I expected Bobby Kotick to just bomb the whole building.
Hell, the whole city. Then erase it from history, 1984 style.
