I think your reaction towards Activision is a bit over-the-top tbh.... But if they publish a game I like, then chances are I'll buy it.

The only Activision game I've purchased in years was Blur, a week after launch. I justified it in my mind because Walmart had it on sale and Activision had a prerelease manufacturer's coupon that knocked $20 off and ended the day after Walmart's sale. I paid $20 for the game in the end, with both Walmart and Activision taking the financial hit. I assume that little to nothing of that $20 actually went to Activision as profit, and that I was hurting both Walmart and Activision (albeit to a tiny degree), and at the same time I wanted to buy a copy of Bizarre Creation's game because I like them as developers. Unfortunately, voting with my wallet there didn't exactly work as they're now defunct. But other than that, no. And it's not hard, because basically every Activision game is derivative and insulting, even on the Blizzard side. Diablo 3 will be my biggest test, because I won't be able to fall back on coupons to score a copy without them getting money from the sale.

Activision owns Raven Software so as long as they own Raven Software I will still continue to support them. But I do wish Activision would sell Raven Software to Zenimax.

no, they haven't released a game in *years* I am interested in playing (and yes, that includes Blizzard, as much as I would be interested in SC2, I know I have other games to play before trying ot get good at it, and prefer slower paced RTS in general anyway), rather then because of their ethics.

Well I got Singularity on release, and Black Ops. I dont ussualy get the COD games new, and black ops will be the first and last new COD game I get.

I dont care for the publisher, all I care about is enjoyment and value for money.

because I've heard so much hate lately...

I personally DESPISE Activision, and if I see a game a really like and notice that it says "Activision" I'll literally drop the game on the floor and... urinate on it, defecate on it, spit on it, vomit on it, stomp on it, AND.. burn it.:)

CoD is the most popular series now so it is getting the most hate too. Happens all the time. All I know it they wont do any radical changes unless people stop buying their products.

well let me see: 1. They killed Tony Hawk, one of my favourite franchises of all time 2. Then they aren't really making Call of Duty better 3. They screwed Guitar Hero 4. They sold Total War publishing rights to SEGA 5. I don't like Blizzard games It's not like I intentionally don't buy their games, but I just don't find their games interesting other than CoD (which needs an overhaul) anymore.

That's like asking are you going to keep making Microsoft rich. If it's good, people will buy it. It's how economy works.

so in other words, you would buy the game to do this in the privacy of your own home, because doing that in a public store will have you arrested.

I would, if they publish a game I was interested it. Which they tend not to.

That said, I'm still going to consider Blizzard as a different company.

I will keep giving them money as long as they keep making good games. Black Ops is a very good game. I don't really play any of their other series.

oajlu

Activision and Blizzard Entertainment exist as separate entities.

Blizzard Entertainment also has independent management, they make their games based on what they want exactly. The single only link Activision has with Blizzard, is the inclusion of the Blizzard brand name in the title of the resulting holding company, so i don't give a crap.

I purchased an Activision game. Activision flat out abandoned the game, hasn't made one patch for it since it was released 18 months ago.

Then they went and deleted the Tech Support threads where people were posting legit problems.

So no, I won't buy any more from Activision.

Activision does not own Bungie.

Bungie didn't want to be owned anymore and bought there way away from Microsoft, and now Activision is Publishing their games for 10 years....not own.

It's funny how for years gamers had to defend themselves and try to prove that gaming wasn't just for nerds who lived in their moms basement and played Warhammer 40k all day, and now when gaming is finally a fully accepted form of media loads of people are starting to give it a bad name again with petty fighting and all this rubbish. Saying that you won't buy a game because of the publisher is absolutely ridiculous, simple as.
