Are you boycotting activision

[DarkShadow144]

Ive tried, but they always come out with some game that just sits there and taunts me "Buy me, buy me!" and I cave. So, no I am not and will not boycott Activision, but i do think they are evil

 

[WorldCritic]

Until they announce something that actually makes me interested, I guess I am.

 

[Atmos Duality]

I don't buy their games.
Ever.

Haven't bought one of their games since..2006?

 

[Firebert]

Well, I haven't bought any of their games since Modern Warfare 2 (which I still like to play), does that count?

 

[Mute52]

I refused to buy Black Ops, but they get $15 a month from my WoW subscription, so it doesn't really matter. I can't say i'm boycotting them, i'm just not buying the games that suck

 

[Specula]

I don't agree personally with Activision, they killed two great series. Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk. Why? Because they decide to cash-cow all our beloved games by releasing new unfinished titles and expansions every 6-12 months.

I'm glad that Blizzard is telling Activision to take a hike and stay out of their business, I don't want to see an expansion for Starcraft 2 coming out every single year to kill the franchise.

Oh, you mean like how they're breaking up one game into three and selling each for full price with Starcraft 2?

 

[DaHero]

can someone explain to me why Activision are seen as evil? I'm considerably uninformed,

They created Call of Duty, 'nuff said.

 

[Chaos Inverse]

Yeah, stopped buying their games. Firing people who made you a billion+ dollars, and the whole taking fun out of making games(Kotick). Forget that.

 

[sb666]

i hate activison and i don't buy there games i have prototype but that was given to me

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Somebody tell me why people are boycotting them?

 

[FightThePower]

No. I don't approve of their business practices (i.e. the whole IW business), but I don't care enough to not buy games I want to buy.

Though most of the games I buy are published by EA anyway.

 

[New Troll]

Doubt I will buy another Guitar Hero game (cries on the inside) but otherwise no. I am not boycotting Activision.

 

[Kortney]

Boycotting a company is stupid. Really stupid. Especially over something as trivial as video games. If you have a problem with a company, do something about it. Don't sit there like a smug know it all and say "I'm boycotting them!".

Oh, you're boycotting them? So you wont buy their games? O.K...

I doubt Activision really care. I know I certainly don't.

If I like the look of a game - I buy it. If I don't - I don't buy it. It's pretty simple. Activision don't produce a whole lot of games I really like, so I don't buy much of their stuff anyway.

 

[SoranMBane]

No. Just because I dislike the publisher, that's no reason to punish the developer. So, on the very rare occasion Activision lets their developers put out a game that actually has a soul, like Call of Duty 4, I will buy it. The closest I come to boycotting is that if given the choice between two games that I'm equally interested in and one is by Activision, I'll buy the non-Activision game first.

 

[Plurralbles]

nope. I buy the game sthat appeal and most of acivision's non-blizzard titles suck.

inddsteeres,

 

[RowdyRodimus]

No, if they make a game I want I will buy it. I really don't care about their business practices. Yes, it might suck for a person who works for or with them to get laid off or fired and if it happened to me or my family, I might change my mind (not that I would not buy a game I liked because of it) but there are lots of places out there for them and if they are good at what they do, they'll bounce back.

I don't even care about the yearly sequels. I just don't buy them if I don't like them. A new COD isn't stopping a new (insert whatever game is niche and might not sell as well) from being made if the person making it is determined to make it.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

well considering i'm not interested in any of their games outside of COD4, yeah, i guess i'm boycotting.

i don't care for any of their games really, and bobby kotick is a fucking prickfuck fuckface. so yeah, this is already natural for me to do.

 

[Veldel]

I refuse to buy there games <_< most i hate enterly but simply put I hate how there buessness is run

 

[Shapsters]

Fuck 'boycotting'

That's all really, if I don't want to buy a game then I won't but I really hate the idea of thinking you are sticking it to a company by not buying their games when in reality you are doing nothing.

 

[Chibz]

You know what? I'll get behind this boycott. It's not like they ever release anything worth buying anyway...

Speaking of which, in such a "boycott" is it allowable to purchase a game used? I mean the developer gets nothing from it anyways.
