It is said that Mr Robert A Kotick loves money so much that he sold a bunch of people he kept as slaves to a shapeless horror from beyond the stars that feeds exclusively on human tears. Like many of his type he is extremely personable but once he is out of sight he sheds his human skin and rampages like a beast in his own private slaughter pit. No cameras have recorded the scenes therein but the screams can still be heard through the foot thick concrete walls. He has 10d8+56 hit points.

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.
At least the Infinity Ward employees that have not been fired or quit will get the money. I am just glad it isn't going to Bobby Kotick. I imagine that some people are happy this happened to Infinity Ward because of the whole dedicated servers thing that happened. They might see it as poetic justice.

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
Not to mention the "I would make MW2 cost more if I could" and "I want to take the fun out of gaming" quotes the retard said during a press conference. Honestly I think I hate that man more then anyone else.

I still think Valve is the most-liked out of all video game developers.
that's because Gabe cares about community support.
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.:mad:

oh and IW too, that was pretty bad.

In my heart they already are! BioWare would be a close second for me. I saw a GameFaqs poll weeks ago about which video game developer they liked least and Blizzard won.

EDIT: Check that, it was Activision Blizzard.

At this juncture, every point that people have made in this thread, and that they allowed MW2 to be spawned.

Bobby Koticks Activision is quickly becoming the new Evil Empire, a title which was held by EA for a long time.

You can read all about it from.. a lot of places.

And EA is slowly becoming... well, good.

What's the world coming to?

EDIT: I suppose I should add something to the topic. Bobby Kotick is a money grabbing douchebag who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us. That is, of course, assuming he needs to breathe, because I don't know if you need to breathe if you don't have a soul.

Hating is fun.

OT: I'm not sure. For some reason everyone spazzed out about some joke Kotick made.

All these guys on here are just posers! I've been hating Activision before it was trendy. I hate them because they slowly chewed up the Tony Hawk's series until it was the unrecognizable lump of cud it is today with games like RIDE. Same with the Spidey series. The spidey games went to shit after Ultimate Spider-Man. How badly do they have to screw up Spider-Man before they realise what they're doing?

Oh and also Infinity Ward I guess. I've never been into CoD in general, but I can agree that they are good games and that the talent over at IW has been stomped and shat on by Activision.
I'm just glad that they've gone to EA and started their new dev studio and they're not held down by the CoD series any more, which means thay can start with a new concept with new hardware and a new engine.

Personally I'm more pissed over them shutting down fan projects than anything else. I can honestly not think of a single rational reason for Activision to have demanded The Silver Lining shut down aside from an irrational hatred towards all mankind and the urge to make the universe a duller and more cruel place. Then as a final insult they also require that all material made public is removed and the forum deleted... WHY?

I suspect Kotick and by extension Activison as a whole simply hate gamers and fun in general. They might be either aliens, intent on invasion through demoralization, or daemon of some sort! Could be both; Space Demons!

I remember awhile back when i saw anything with the EA logo as garbage and now i see it as the only combatant that can stand against what Activision has become, goes to show what a little humbling can do.

This is pretty fun. A thread dedicated to hating something, I mean. As long as it isn't me, it's fun.
