It doesn't sound like those developers were having much fun at work.

That's what happens when you sell your soul to the devil.

So glad i have not purchased that game. Now i sure as hell wont. How dare they treat not only their consumers but their own employees the way they have. Surely a lawsuit is in the VERY near future.

Never understood why people think abuse of staff is ok.

It never gets the best out of people.

The CFO's comment is entirely believable. I hope it comes back to bite him HARD.

Hopefully the Sergeant bet the crap out you too before throwing your sorry ass into the stockade.

This seems to be the norm anymore for game developers. We've heard stories time and time again. Multiple companies...and pretending to be Foxconn.

I think game developers should form a union?

I love how EA has almost completely eliminated its reputation of being the giant evil game company, while Activision seems intent on making it their trademark as of late.

Can't believe someone like Bobby Kotick is still in charge of such a huge game company; what a disaster for people who enjoy the hobby.

People who have/deserve respect earn it, they don't demand it. Poeple who try to demand respect never get it and always look like a fool. If you were in the Mob you'd get your cement shoes for trying to be a big shot.

And now because they treated them badly, they have real competition. The best thing ex infinity ward employees can do is make a cod killer, and release it soon.

Agree, but then lawsuits will fly once more.

It almost sounds unreal that it's hard to believe. But it's not that hard if Activision is involved.

Activision is the latest entry on my blacklist. I was reserving judgment until all the facts were in, but this is just too damning on their part.

 

[jednx01]

If this is true, I can now completely say that I will NEVER buy another activision game. Assuming that these accuasations are accurate, I hope that the IW staff sues the pants off of Activision. After all the profits that THEY made for the company, they sure deserve their bonuses!

 

[balister]

Sounds like Vivendi needs to step in and clean house on the Activision-Blizzard board since they're the principle owners of the company.

Good, now I'm not buying Black ops. Activision has done enough. There's nothing they can do to resent. It's up to us. We have to stop buying games from Activision.

This is such a disappointment... MW2 is a great game. Now it lacks the support from the people who made it great.. This is bad for all parties involved (mostly the consumer in my opinion). I happen to love this game. I use ATI's eyefinity technology to get a huge FOV in game. Its awesome. Check out my knife throwing montage here:
