"Kotick irritated by Xbox Live"

[Weaver]

I am tired of Kotick and his inflamatory comments.

But I am far more tired of people getting all "upset" about his comments and then bowing to his wishes. YES, YOU... I AM TALKING TO YOU, self-proclaimed "hardcore gamer". You want to make a stand, then for fucks sake, DO IT. Stop bitching about pricing and policies, and don't run to buy Call of Duty 400 and its overpriced DLCs on day one. For all the crap he has sent our way, he is also the most sincere and accurate person in the industry.

I haven't bought an Activision game in 2 years.

"We've heard that 60 per cent of Microsoft's subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty,"

I almost stopped reading right there. That statement is the biggest pile of bullshit I have ever heard. I might be able to believe that 60% of regular Live users have played CoD, but that's as far as I would take it.

I have never heard about any of this before. None of it surprises me and it won't change the way I buy games or anything, though.

Oh no, guys! CEOs being greedy and trying to exploit people? WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!

At least CEOs of other companies PRETEND like they actually care about the consumer. Kotick doesn't even do that. He doesn't hide that he despises people and wants to milk them for all the money they're worth, and for that he won't get a dime of mine.

So you'd rather be lied to before you get fucked?
