What do you mean when? It already has and they haven't been screwed yet. Apparently history has taught them nothing. (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk)GeorgW said:
Where's your fragging logic, Activision? Going away from the numbers and whether or not this is true, how is that an accomplishment?
Your AAA-super budget title with giant marketing campaign and a loyal fanbase has more players than a browser based indie title? Well big fragging deal.
Transformers 3 was watched by more people than those who have read I am Robot, but where's the comparison? There are quite likely people who like both, but in many cases, those who like to play Zynga-style timekilling games like Farmville will not enjoy being repeatedly shot in the face with a HK-PSG 1 from half the map away just after spawning, because they most likely will not be into FPS games.
I am going off on generalizations for the sake of a point here. There are gamers that like both, but there is most likely the majority of Facebook app fans who don't own a gaming console or don't play Call of Duty competitively.

True although I'd disagree with farmville players not having a life, its for people who don't have time to play real games, I tried farmville its impossible to spend more than 10 minutes playing it without spending money on extra energyDaHero said:
Well Activision, Call of Duty also has more whining 8 year olds screaming in my ear than any Facebook game...
Is that something to be proud of?

is anyone really surprised the activision is acting like massive twats? eh i like COD but hey i play facebook apps mainly tetris because its free and fun. fuck activision thats why the next time i buy the game i am going to buy used and play it with my friends in the same room
seriously, what does Call of Duty has to do with Facebook?
one is supposed to have players, it's a game
the other is a service provided by a social network
"Call of Duty has more players who pay-to-play online than any Facebook game and our players pay more per player on average than any Facebook game.
"They're also more engaged - the percentage of Call of Duty's monthly unique players that play the game every day is higher than that of the top three Facebook games."
Well, no shit sherlock. If more people were more engaged and spending more hours playing free to play web browser based games rather than your multi-million dollar triple A title your shareholders would have shit themselve in fear and fired you.
