Where Is Activision?

AppGamer writes "Let's face it, Activision have a fondness for easy money and to be fair, who doesn't right? Activision however have built up a particular reputation for exploiting their stable of brands, creating what some would describe as unnecessary sequels, and it has thus far worked out wonderfully for them. With the world and his wife rushing to release games on the App Store it is somewhat baffling to consider that Activision haven't so much as mentioned iPhone gaming in their future plans."

SevWolf6161d ago

Well they're the new old EA, cause this Gen EA is becoming much much better from what I see, Dead Space was amazing, and Mirror's Edge had it's flaws but was still fresh, and im looking forward to Dante's inferno and others....and I was really happy they picked up Brutal Legend(check the gameplay vids on IGN's youtube channel..AMAZING) which activision dropped and now activision wanna SUE Tim and Double Fine like the greedy idiotic b1tches they are

Quality >>> Quantity

Activision can pump out games super fast and make a lot of money along the way... Their money and business ethics means NOTHING to me... All what matters is the final product... Thats why games like Metal Gear, Infamous, Uncharted etc etc end up so special... Yes they are designed to make money BUT you also get the sense that effort has been put into these games to make them the best they can be for the consumer...

WEll, in fairness(and as I despise what Activision do this hurts to write)you could include IW and the first MW in that list of games that feel crafted with care rather than just pushed out to a schedule(and probably MW2 as I do feel Infinity Ward are a good and decent dev). Still, I can't think of much else worthy of praise like that under their stinking umbrella of greed and double standards(esp over pricing issues!).

And as for the "fair" prices they come up with for us UK gamers-just don't get me going as they already rip off the americans before hiking the price of their tacky placcy peripherals for us over here!

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
