Does this mean that you will soon only be able to buy a 3/4 full can of coke and then have to pay extra a few months later for the last bit?

Coca Cola Next: you buy the can half full... and then enter a code online ( in which you need to register on the website and pay a subs. fee for ) to have the other half the Soda delivered to you for a small S&H fee.

Bobby Kotick is also an actor. He was in Moneyball. At first, I doubted myself on that and had to double check after the movie.

I can see it now, they are going to turn coke into just carbonated water and you'll be allowed to by "add-ons" like sugar and flavoring

He just joined it lol, are you really going to boycott Coke over this? There are much more important reasons to be against soft drinks imo. Also imo you are better off not drinking diet coke rather drinking less amounts of regular coke with water... Diet Coke has aspartame in it which is really wacky ****.

I am drinking water. It just happens to have sugar and coloring in it that makes it very tasty.

Also, straws lol. Avoids 98% of contact.

Being a successful businessman who delivers on the demands of millions of gamers is a negative? Oh dear. He should be more of a douche, and only let Activision release games 20 people like.

He is a great buisness man. He is a tragic human being. Have you seen some of the things he has said about the people that work for him? About you, as a gamer?
