Outside of Infinity Ward cames, I'm boycotting Activision/Blizzard from now on.
Screw those greedy, evil, corporate shitheels. Bobby Kotich deserves to go broke, but less be given a platform for his bullshit PR-speak among the hardcore gaming press.
As far as I'm concerned he's the Jack Thompson of gaming execs.

wake me up when a piano falls on him or they actually bring some innovation to the guitar hero franchise. My bet is that the piano will happen first.

Were those unrelated happenings, or did the fatal event inspire a Piano Hero?

It's a lot easier to risk $50 last gen then $60 this gen for a gimped game that you'll need to pay $70-80. You pay game+expansion pack prices for what you got for game w/o expansion pack in the past.
Yeah, there's been some good from this gen, but the price-gouging has hurt this gen, and it's more on the software then hardware end (then again I own a 360, which is the cheapest console really)

If they thought $60 was "best" for games of this generation, while games of last generation were $50, does that mean games for the next gen systems will sell for $70? I sure hope not, because I will never buy a new game for that price. Fuck that shit.

Activision ceases to amaze me. They are inching ever so closer to me changing my mind about getting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I love Infinity Ward and all, but I just can't bring myself to give Activision any money, so Infinity Ward's sake, they better get their act together.

I know what you mean, and I'm right there with you. I've just about fucking had with Kotick and his ilk.

Haha, true!

And I've always thought first party games should be cheaper from the start. Not wait a while then become a "Greatest Hit".

It would be absolutely great if games were $50 for the PS3 and the 360.
06/06/09
I was just thinking that Sony or Microsoft should do that.

"We should make the things we love to buy cheaper! Everybody wins!"
"FUCK YOU! I'll pay all the money I want, Bobby Ko-dick!"

Wow. That's some brass-fucking-balls. It's not even that he doesn't care what gaming enthusiasts think of him - It's more like he actually wants us to demonize him. Perhaps he feeds off of our negative emotions. Fucking Mazoku.

Yeah, I'm a really non-violent kind of person ... but I would love to smack that smug son of a bitch. He'd probably press charges, and then sue me for $10,000,000 though.
