As a publisher, you have to take responsibility for your actions. And not only that, you have to earn the respect of the people you are catering to. Activision refuses to do any of this time and time again
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
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.
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
Your'e not the only one.
I am so tired of Activision and the way they treat their games. They've made insane profits on COD but fail to properly support the games after release and fail to put up dedicated servers. Let's not talk about how they over-exploited Guitar Hero and now they've just abandoned it.
I'm just glad for all the alternatives coming out, especially Battlefield 3. I hope all the other publishers/developers are learning from Activision's mistakes.
i really wish they did pull online support it wouldve been funny at the backlash and lawsuits. I dont think you can stop CoD atm though its just too damn huge. hopefully by next year people will realise how bad it is. and hopefully activision will start some new ip's I mean cmon I cannot think of another game activision makes apart from CoD now.
Clearly most hardcore gamers dislike Activision but seeing how Call of duty is the best selling game every year casual gamers don't care what Activision does as long as they get their Call of duty fix. People are voting with their wallets and Activision is getting the message that people are willing to pay 60 dollars for unfinished games full of glitches and pay 15 dollars for few maps.
My respect for Activision is at a negative 3, so to have zero respect for them would be an improvement they don't don't deserve.
