bobby kotick is now officially a few screws loose..

CEO of blizzard/activision has come up with a nutty little idea..

hey everybody my games will no longer feature cutscenes.. if you want em your going to need to fork over additional bread.

in short.. no more cutscenes (omitting perhaps the intro and ending to a game) unless you wish to pay 20-30 bucks more.. digitally only.

while the blizzard side of his round table is in uproar over this and is refusing to let it stand.. the activision side seems to have whole ehartedly grabbed this idea.

whats worse is that these cutscenes could even come to theaters.. thats right a movie of in-game blurbs... and he would expect you to shill out 30 bucks their as well for them..

i for one am disgusted at the idea.

im all for trying new things, im all for developers working togeather.. but to the boys at blizzard activision.. if you lvoe something enough you should really learn to be able to part ways..

I think Kotick just likes the attention.

I wouldn't visit that site anymore if I were you, they're about two weeks late:)

I like how the press and the gamers assume Kotick is stupid enough to literally take the cutscenes out of the game and sell them. He just worded it poorly, it's clear as daylight. Do people even think anymore?

After all those stupid statements, bashing a ton of devs and EA, I think it's true, the man only cares about money.

Ever since Activision's success with MW2, he can't shut his trap.

Taken out of context like always. He's saying that if he were to take SC2 cutscenes, edit them ot make a single one, people would buy it.ampiva

Am I reading this right, he expects people to pay $20-$30 for one hour of cut scenes? I wouldn't pay that now for an actual BR movie.

haha, if hes serious I see him getting removed sooner rather than later. It looks like he is doing great right now, but he is screwing everything up in the long term.
