Stacy Keibler has catapulted to the top of the tabloid target list thanks to her boyfriend George Clooney. But the former WWE Diva is well known by gamers. She currently serves as host of “Friday Night Fights”, the new online series from Ridley and Tony Scott that allows players to settle fights by playing Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Keibler talks about games in this exclusive interview from the Spike “VGAs” red carpet.
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.
Activision has announced a one million dollar donation to L.A. fire relief.
Nicely done Activision. Every penny counts. My family is in one of the areas that burned down so any and all donations are appreciated.
Exactly. Cynical people say; well their worth billions it is just a tax and p.r. move. Sure but how many major companies have not given a penny? Amazon, Meta, Musk and his ventures, etc.
They would hary be the first company with problems but at least they are willing to make a donation unlike ma y others.
Donations during are much needed, and should be applauded. Every bit counts.
But for context… individuals like Beyonce donated $2.5m, Jamie Lee Curtis $1m
Also there was an interesting donation incident during the China Henan floods. Erke the Chinese sports brand was seeing RMB60m (about $8.5m) losses during the 1st quater of 2021. Despite that donated RMB50m (about $7m) for the henan floods that year. The Chinese public upon learning this, worrying about Erke’s survival and showing appreciation, started to purchase Erke products en masse. As a result Multiple Erke shops ran out of stock, the erke live stream sales in 2 days exceeded the company’s sales for the first half of 2021.

This is whats wrong with these awards.
I'm so tired of these 'celebrities' pretending to be gamers because they played mario as a kid or at a party.
so what being a "real" gamer is actually about? Anyone care to give examples?
