Who Cares If Activision Leaves?

Thinking about what we'd miss out on...

personally I'm starting to draw a blank. Guitar Hero is milked crap now anyway, plus Rock Band is far better... Call of Duty has a whole lot of noobs, personally though I never liked it, it's also milked and now PS3 owners can play more shooters to support Sony, and... what else will we miss out on in the coming months? Help me out, I don't know what's so devastating.

I care

me personally i wouldnt care about not having anymore activision games but the truth is since it is such a huge popular franchise that it would deffinatly hurt sony if they left

Nice.

In my perfect world, Activision stops supporting PS3, so PS3 owners actually buy exclusives, and we get a load of kickass games. Also EA begins to like us and the Wii, where Activision gets swallowed by Microsoft because they're both VERY greedy. And ****s.

On the other side, the bad world, Activision leaves and so everyone buys a 360 for the milkfest, game quality drops, Sony goes bankrupt, etc.

Ever noticed this? Microsoftsends out their big guns always in the holidays. Only inthe holidays. That's because games sell better near the end of the year, obviously. So while Microsoft counts its money year round, 360 gamers are taping their exclusive thumbs in August. Whereas Sony sends games out year-round, even during slow months, but keeping their gamers happy. Look at Killzone 2, inFamous. Great games, would have sold a whole lot more in November.

Don't say "Halo Wars", because... well,it kind of is bad :D

I care. Because I actually like games and would like it if those games came to the PS3.

You need to play a game to have an opinion on it. And even then, it's still just an opinion.

They can leave and it wouldn't make a differnce for me. In the end they could lose a lot of sales revenue that they would be hard pressed to get back.

And what gives you the idea that I haven't played it?

Valkyria Chonicles > Halo Bores. As for opinion, many people share my opinion, including Gamespot.

Plus Activision is D********s. Remember their "issue" with Brutal Legend? :P

I don't think they are going to leave.

With the exception of IW, Activision can kiss money good buy. Activision is the worst of the 3rd party publishers. They milk franchises, don't give us any new IPs, they dropped some games with good potential (brutal legend, ghostbusters, wet) and then complain later. Seriously Activision is terrible and the only game I want from them is MW2 (not call of duty bc Treyarch sucks)

They're bluffingredskins2156

ok so hypothetically speaking, what if they come out with a MW3 in the future and they happen to release a AA or even AAA IP in the future and we cant play it on the PS3 because they stopped dev for SONY, then what? would you still continue not to care? (bunch of lier's)LP4EVA2005

yeah i still wouldnt care because i dont really like fps all that mush so unless this new ip you speak of even comes out it would have to be something competely different from anything that activision has done in the past to get my attention

there leaving??? does that mean theyll stop ***** up WOW???reaver-x

Would you be mad if they made World at Warcraft?

I wouldnt care b/c none of their games interest me, but it would hurt Sony so much so i dont want them to leave but they wont.

Seeing how they the biggest game publisher right now, im pretty sure Sony cares.

i care. It's not like guitar hero and call of duty games are the only franchises that Activision publishes (i love CoD though :). yeah, they're milking them right now, but you never know when they might publish a new IP. And what if, god forbid, this game actually turns out to be good, we'll see a whole wave of people saying/ranting/crying of how they wish it was released for the PS3...

People can keep telling themselves they don't care and post comments like "screw them. it's not like i liked their games anyway" all they want (whether that's how they truly feel or are just acting out; i'm fine with extreme opinions). But trust me, a lot of them will be pissed off just like those who see the big picture of the contingency if Activision does indeed leave Sony and begins to publish new IP's for its competitors... It's not as if i can say something like this will happen with certainty, but one thing i'm sure about is: i will would rather receive Activision's support than not.

i never cared of Gh and MW2 is coming to ps3

so no i don't care, MW2 is proboblyn the last of call of duties

I'm going to miss the COD series, but, they will probably still make cods for the ps3, because it would make them a lot more money

sure... if your head will implode i will try to mention you in the next post that would prevail over your world famous cynicism and skepticism :)

Did you say CoD is being milked, TC?ShowStopper102

[QUOTE="ShowStopper102"]Did you say CoD is being milked, TC?raven_squad

yes it would be :)

series getting milked:

- GH

- CoD

- DBZ fighters (hardcore milking)

- Dynasty Warriors (hardcore milking)

- Various 1-dimensional Gundam games

- Mario games (king of utters)

series approaching that mark, which many could consider are already there:

- Tom clancy games

- Tekken (and many other fighters)

- Final Fantasy spin-offs

- armored core

ehh... i'll stop right here...

Activision will never drop sony....They'd lose too much money from not selling crappy guitar hero remakes to people

He's too busy playing the milkfest to realize it.

The prez of Activision was just blowing smoke. There is no way they would give up one of their revenue streams up to another competitor like EA or UBI. They realize that if they leave all those gamers will have to look some other company to fill the void. I don't think they would like 4 million FPS fans buying EA's next FPS.

It would hurt Sony, and without Call of Duty I don't really have a shooter to play with my friends. KZ2 doesn't have local and Resistance is meh

If Activision leaves Sony then the other developers who support the system will have more opportunities to sell games. Activision claims they are losing money with the PS3 so let them increase their revenues on the XBOX, and the folks who still publish with Sony can continue to make money on the PS3. Let the marketplace work.
