Activision is greedy!

Post » Thu Mar 04, 2010 12:57 pm

I know everyone by now knows that Activision is greedy. SO this may not be a surprise for you.

Anyway Activision now wants money from both PSN and Xbox LIVE because they think that they will make more money. Studies show that 60% of Xbox LIVE subscribers only buy it so that they can play CallofDuty Online. That seems believable. However I think these guys are just bluff-en. I really hope both Sony and Microsoft tell these guys to screw off because they can't let these guys get away with it. First it was the overpriced add-ons for MW2 and now this?

So what do you guys think?

XBL already costs money, so nothing changes, PS3 owners will be pissed though.

Eh, don't worry about it. I'm just happy to see Activision digging its own grave. Now if only the rest would follow suit..

They'll get money. COD is like the fps equivalent of wow. It rakes in cash no matter what.

Bluffing. As in "I'm totally gonna do this." but in his mind it's "I'm not gonna do this."

Of course. Gaming's not about entertainment anymore, it's about svcking consumers' wallets dry. However, such an overwhelming greed will only spell their demise. I think they may have even topped M$ in douchebaggery at this point.

haha I can't believe that's not censored. :bonk:

What you said is soo true. MW2 is not a fun game. It can give you a heart attack because all it does is piss you off with all the cammando, and continues grenade launching non-sense. I play it a-lot and I hate every minute of it. I really don't understand myself sometimes. I hear people complaining but they still play the game. They just made the game soo competitive that people wont put it down & buy their overpriced crappy add-ons.

I'd gladly buy a CoD that still has that Slow Motion cheat the first MW had. Best. Cheat. Ever. It was like I was editing someone else's action movie.

In fact, I say we start a petition demanding every shooter from now on to have a Slow Motion cheat just like in MW. It adds quadruple the replay value just seeing how perfectly you can time it and make the scenes even cooler.

Take a bath in change. Then brush your teeth with dollar bills. It's just so satisfying.
