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.crotalidian said:
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.
They screw over their developers all the time.PoisonUnagi said:
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.
They have very undesirable work ethics. They need to learn that business is half what you do, half how you appear. They seam to be failing on both those points...
But yea they assisted in the Downfall of Trolka Games, there fucking over Infinity ward and this guy in the picture openly admits he is only interested in publishing games he can exploit with yearly sequals rather like EA Sports and there FIFA or NFL stuff
It's run by people who have never actually played games and have openly stated they're simply in it for financial success. To do this, they've been pretty unethical and manipulative in managing their studios, and seem to be slowly buying up the industry at the same time.
(Why the crap would Blizzard join them? They have WoW! That gives them the net-worth of like, Europe!)

Because Bobby Kotick has creepy eyes... ...
That and the whole IW business, and then the Bungie thing, and the whole "Imma slavin' humanity" thing in the near future

More than likely, free DLC (On the PC. Sorry Xbox Users, it's Microsofts fault there :\), updates to old games, pretty good prices to be honest as well.Ieyland said:
Activision are also hated because they're going to "take the fun out of making video games." That's gonna be a successful venture. They're incredibly untrustworthy though, the whole IW mess, a CEO retiring, then taking on Bungie.
I just don't like their name.
Activision...I feel dirty saying it...
Okay, that's not the real reason, but everyone else has already said what I would say a lot more eloquently than I could put it.

that's because Gabe cares about community support.Ieyland said:
seriously all valve needs to do is hire 2 guys to port their games to PS3 and they would be the GREATEST COMPANY EVAR!
And people hate Activision because their CEO Bobby Kotick said "im going to take the fun out of making games" and "im only in this for the money" at the last GDC.
oh and IW too, that was pretty bad.
