Everyone loves to hate the bad guy. For a while, that honor belonged to Electronic Arts. The publisher went through a dark period where it repeatedly failed to earn respect. NFL 2K fans hated it because the company snatched up the NFL rights, while “hardcore” gamers spat in its face because of EA’s reliance on sequels.

Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
"On that note, I have two suggestions for you if you despise Activision.
1. If you hate Activision, stop buying its games. Even better, stop talking about Activision. My car has a dent in the hood, and I forget it exists because I don’t obsess over it every single day of my life.
2. If you hate Activision, go buy several thousands shares of Activision. Then you can attend investor meetings and scream at Bobby Kotick until you pass out.
Got it? I hope so. Now go play some video games."

I agree with you mostly, HOWEVER, if Activision overcharges for maps and suceeds...other publishers may follow suit. THIS concerns me. But I agree with you 100% that people on N4G are soo emo in regards to Activision that its not even funny.
well its gamers fault in the first place....stop feedin pigs
LMAO The pic is hilarious
I have stopped purchasing Activision games. Hit 'em where it hurts - their wallets. I did exactly that.
It's that they are getting away with charging 15 dollars for a map pack.
THAT is what bothers me. Other developers and publishers are aware that Activision got away with overcharging DLC, they are going to do this too. Monkey see, monkey do.
