An interesting story broke earlier this week about Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick's presentation given to investors. I was surprised to see how many N4G readers were quick to think that a CEO that focused on running a proftable company meant gamers automatically suffer. This couldn't be any further from the truth. In order for a company to make games, they need to have capital. This capital comes from many sources, a very big one being investors. If a company can't fund development for a game, then nothing gets made.
For those that are curious about the reaction the investment community has about Mr. Kotick's insane ideas about running a business, Activision Blizzards stock was recently given 5 Star status and is a highly recommended stock.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
