Activision: "Xbox founder helped EA in COD sabotage"

[maddawg IAJI]

This is starting to turn into a petty fight on the playground over a toy. Seriously, these Companies are suppose to be super giants of the industry, but they're spending their time throwing insults back and forth.

Now they're blaming Microsoft?

for anyone that did not read the source... they are alleging that a former Microsoft Xbox head from 2002 had some part to play in the whole ordeal.

who knows, maybe they were indeed planning a bbq, inviting strippers, and a few kegs. Activision has no need to stick their nose in.

You're right. What with the releasing of games with little more than a slightly different stupid story, and increasing sequel number. And they're saying someone ELSE sabotaged this series? Hilarious.

how are they parasites? They are a publisher that is doing what any publisher should do to become successful.
If these allegations hold truth, than the shady activities are indeed with EA.

they're probably mad they didn't get bungie to make MW2. That would be like asking Kojima Productions to make the next halo

What, do a search on the usual blind Activision hate that gaming fandom has garnered these last many years? It seems so easy for everyone to paint the picture as black and white, which is not.

Yeah. It's black and red. Red with the red bars PC Gamer used to stroke out the names of those who left/got fired from IW from the credits of Modern Warfare 2. Face it, Activision screwed up, no matter how much you paint the preceding events.
