Dear Activision, You Are The Devil

Ever since Activision launched Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007, Activision has been digging itself a hole ever since. With the horrible lag that was found in just about every multiplayer match of Call of Duty 4 to the milking of the Call of Duty franchise to death and beyond. Activision has been a disgrace to gaming industry.

So.. is this our activision hating#32 article now?

xXRight3yeXx5129d ago

F Activision. I hate MW2 now. Played it for about 340 hours before stopping and now i can't continue because if i do, i feel disgusted.

Anon73495129d ago

Except when you said "That’s why you should stop supporting Activision and support publishers like Codemasters, Ubisoft, Atlus, EA, Sega and more."

Ubisoft, EA and Sega are almost or just as poisonous to the industry as Activision is.

Sega with their Bayonetta port, Cutting Content from Yakuza 3 and various other stunts.

EA with their rehash after rehash, and their DLC bullcrap. Although EA is quickly redeeming themselves be supporting new IPs and new developers.

Ubisoft with their DLC bullcrap, their PC stunts, and a few other shady tactics.

I take all your money
I don't like to make new IPs
I screw developers
I overcharge our products
I like to turn our developers against their fans
Most of our top franchises are recycled
EA was our teacher. We have dethroned them since.

Anyone?

The student surpasses the master!

gtamike1235129d ago

Bobby, where are my Tenchu PSOne classics and my next gen Tenchu(not Tenchu Z)

If you don't want it anymore, please sell the IP!

TheDeadMetalhead5129d ago

They also need to sell Vigilante 8. That XBLA remake was a disgrace.

AliTheBrit195129d ago

I never thought I would be one of those guys

But I will never give Activision my money again.

If they publish a game that I really do want, I will buy it second hand off eBay.

F*ck them.

tdogchristy905129d ago

I could not agree more. I love call of duty for the story aspect but activision is done it in, I will never buy anything from them again. If I do pick up MW3 it will be to keep the story intact and will be a second hand buy so they don't get my money.

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos1h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

XBManiac1h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad57m ago(Edited 55m ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos7m ago(Edited 5m ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein11h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno7h ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

jwillj2k46h ago

Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.

MrCrimson6h ago

tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.

Zenzuu7h ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

MrCrimson6h ago

They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
