Someone listens to Octale and Hordak by the sounds of it.

OT: Because of the reasons stated above really, they screw over developers, attempt to screw over other publishes and wish that they could screw over their consumers even more than they do already.

It's safe to say that most of the management team of Activision perform some rather nasty and unsanitary acts on the nether regions of common farm animals.

Put bluntly: They suck ass

If he was spending it on something awesome like that, we might actually like him. To my knowledge, he is just acquiring money for the sake of acquiring money.

So wait, why would it be awesome for one of the bigger butt-nuggets in gaming history to have his own Death Star?

He'd hold the world to ransom! "You better buy Modern Warfare 3 for $200 or i'll destroy the Earth!"

And worse still for that $200 you get nothing but an empty cardboard box on which Bobby has scribbled "Mderno Warefar 7" in red crayon, because we all know his next step is to take the gaming out of gaming.

And be careful of that DLC too cos it's $300 for a video of Bobby rolling around Naked in a huge pile of money

We might like him because he would have the same interests as us. As it stands, he comes off as just a generic bussiness executive. He basically comes off as a textbook definition of "The Man" as in The Man you stick it to. If he had the same fanboy love of things like Star Wars we have, we might like him more.

(snip)So wait, why would it be awesome for one of the bigger butt-nuggets in gaming history to have his own Death Star? (/Snip)
because noone who has a death star can be evil... and also because he would force us to say "Bobby Kotick is made of win"

on another note, why dont we shoot some Flame at Ubisoft next?


EDIT: better Gincairn? i made it clear that i edited my quote now. also i clicked "Quote" and this is what it gave me, even though you are right and quotes from you and RelaxCryo are mixed up i dont know how to fix it.

EDIT2: okay, after 5 mins of fiddling about with this i managed to fix the quotes.

To quote Bobby Kotick "I would make games even more expensive, if only they would let me." also 15$ for a mappack made up mostly of old maps... yeah he's Satan in disguise.

if you look at the photo of him for about ten seconds without blinking...you suddenly get the impression that hes the kind of guy who'd walk into your house at dinner time, bite your kids , shit in then gravy beat you up and wipe his mouth with the money he just stole from your wallet....that man has no good intentions.

They (basically) dropped Infinity Ward after making the highest grossing (none MMO) game of all time and then signed up.....Bungie....
At least they don't *own* Bungie, so they can't fuck Bungie over like they did to IW. Activision bought out Infinity Ward, and Bungie has made it very clear that they wish to remain an independent developer.

To be honest, I hated Activision before the IW fiasco (I hated them before it was cool!), but it's given me more reason to hate them. I really just dislike Activision because of how they treat gamers, and what they do to good game series.
I began to hate them months ago over the whole Brutal Legened law suit.

Activision knew that they would need to pay the head developers of Modern Warfare 2, $63 million. They wanted to keep it, so they started up an investigation against them for the soul purposes of finding an excuse for firing them, so they could keep the royalties. West and Zampella refused to hand over their personal mobile phones and lap tops to the Activision investigators. They were fired for protecting their rights to privacy, or as Activision called it: Insubordination.

This is the main crux of it.

Wait, what??? Since when did anyone hate Activision? They're a publisher, what's to hate?
They screw over their developers all the time.

For example, Brütal Legend was to be published by Activision, but they dropped it. Then when DoubleFine found a new publisher, what does Activision do? Try and sue them so they can't publish the game, on the basis that it was ripping of Guitar Hero.

Then we have Infinity Ward. They made the most successful game ever. Then the most important guys at IW get fired without getting the money Activision owe them, followed by a lot of people leaving.

They made the most successful game of all time and they don't even get paid for it.

Fuck you Activision.
Oh dear, their golden days must be over.
They used to kick ass :(
