[QUOTE="Ravensmash"]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.BibiMaghoo

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?

Yes, I'm sure he hurt your feelings. Suck it up and deal with it.

You're talking like you know the man personally lol and basing your opinion off a few tongue-in-cheek comments. Like I said, video games aren't that serious.

You forgot about the content inside, which is just recycled from a previous drinker with new color.

Feel free to post examples. Not being dickish, but interested.

Here is a few:

''I think the goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought in to Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."

"You know, if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further." — Activision second-quarter earnings conference call in August 2009

"With respect to the franchises that don't have the potential to be exploited every year across every platform with clear sequel potential that can meet our objectives of over time becoming $100 million plus franchises, that's a strategy that has worked very well for us.''

"I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."

"really rewards profit and nothing else." (Concerning Kotick's incentive program for Activision employees)

"If you think about the success that we've had in other product categories on subscription, you can get a sense of the direction that we want to take that franchise" (Concerning Call of Duty franchise)

He has also expressed a wish to sell repackaged in-game cutscenes to gamers as $30 movies......

The guy is an ass.

Someone who thinks fear, pessimism and skepticism to be ideal is not ok. That's borderline psychopathic in my book.

[QUOTE="IAmNot_fun"]No f***ing wonder Diet Coke's taste got so s****y lately.cjuncto
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 ****.

imo you should learn to recognize joke on internet.
