Forbes - A big part of the Microsoft Xbox One Reveal in Redmond, Washington today was the unveiling of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts to the world. I was able to see the game last week at a pre-E3 event with Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, who took the stage today at Microsoft’s headquarters to unveil the new game. Activision has big plans for its biggest franchise, and the game demo promises a next generation of shooting action with even more Hollywood influences (thanks, in part, to the involvement of acclaimed director Stephen Gaghan on the new game).
Hirshberg said people have been asking for years now how long can Call of Duty last and whether or not this franchise is ever going to crest. The only “problem” is (and it’s not a problem for Activision, but perhaps for other publishers) that the franchise continues to grow.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.
A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.
Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.
That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.

I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷♂️
