Corporate Flame War - About Time?

Kotick took a shot at EA today and EA fired back some time after. Tim Schafer got to participate too.

The Escapist : News : Kotick Takes a Swing at EA
The Escapist : News : EA Fires Back at Bobby Kotick

I hope this goes on for a bit and 2k, Ubisoft, etc. Join in.

 

Heh, there is no denying, in my opinion the satan of the gaming industry is Bobby Kotick and Activision. Since Blizzard merged with them, it's just been downhill for them also. WoW becoming uninteresting, unchallenging and SC2's battlenet 2.0 is not what it was touted to be. It seems obvious to me Blizzard had some plans for bnet 2.0, but somewhere along the way, Kotick decided to trash it.

I do like EA's come back and Schaffers. Even though it is a petty slap fight, Kotick definitely appears to be the brat.

 

i agree.. this has runined PC gaming... really , he's killing it with his dumb ideas... plz someone wipe him out or hang him..

 

Il tell MacGruber to throat rip him. xD
What also concerns me is that Bungie made a deal with Activision so its a chance they will go to h*** too.
Its a little sad because im really enjoying Halo: Reach.

 

Oh wow I had a good read from that Kotick's really acting like a an immature brat lately :/

 

After what is happening to WoW,CoD & the fact that im currently in love with DAO ... even though Total war series was one of my favorites .... I would stand by EA

 

EA actually do release some good games, just look at Burnout Paradise and its nicely priced DLC.

 

after what EA did to C&C4 i think both compagnie can go to hell

 

Forgot that.
C&C4 did suck.

this is so right sry i have a viceral hate of EA since they bought Westwood

how ever i'm starting to think blizzard joining with activision is very bad to blizzard seem still stuck in the late 90's with a cpu bound game engine and

let's just call it a draw for now

 

I don't even read this crap anymore. That's one thing about the gaming industry that pisses me off... all these schoolyard mud slinging antics. Seriously you are the CEO of a gabillion dollar company and you have nothing better to do than try and smear your competition in the press for acting in pretty much the same way your company does?

Wow they must be really busy rescuing babies and solving world hunger (or whatever they seem to think is so exemplary about their company's) to have all this time to think of cheeky flame war comments.

 

I'm going to have nightmares now.......

With all the visceral hate directed towards Activision as of late though, you think this idiot would have learned when & what to say already.......
