Microsoft should stop selling the Xbox 360, because the PS3 also exists.

I mean if he's refering to games like rock revolution he kinda has a point. The less chance of some clueless customer picking that shit up the better...
Ive read it through twice now, I don't think he means Rock Band at all...

I dont feel at all right defending Activision employees...

Activision has lost all respect they had left with me within the past week or so.

They still have Blizzard... but that's it. Not long till they ruin them either...

How about Activision worry about making sure more of their songs can be imported to GH5.

Overmilked? Maybe Call of Duty, but not any Blizzard franchise. How many games have they made in the last 10 years? Like 5? If anything those franchises are undermilked.

Activision has a lot of dickheads and assholes on the management level, but, but there are developers under their umbrella that still make great games. If those developers start making shitty games, then I won't buy them anymore, I really don't care about the publisher. I also think they're going for a "bad boy" image right now, which isn't so dangerous when you're sitting on gold like MW2 and Blizzard.

That's never going to happen. I'm pretty sure they're averaging two prickish stunts a week now.

How many games (not including expansions) have Blizzard released since they joined Activision? Zero. Now look at what they're planning with Starcraft 2, splitting it into 3 games. Obviously the evil minds of Activision are at work.
