    I personally don't think there's enough 'non-console' gamers to support Activision if they go commando on us. But the way he keeps going, we might find out.

    Damn them for publishing Call of Duty.....I really want to try it out! Hopefully I can squash my morals long enough to do so....but I will certainly feel dirty about it! LMAO

    Activision collectively does some nice games...
    But the leadership could really use some changes. This guy seems to be a huge fag from everything I've seen of him.

    There's game designers that are good game designers, and then there's CEO's that are good CEO's, but then there is not always good game designers who are good CEOs. Those folks are really hard to find. I would imagine things would work best in game company if the two didn't cross paths much .

    That's true kspiess, but don't you think there should at least be CEOs with common sense as a virtue?

    This guy seems to be lacking in common sense.

    He makes up for it with business sense. This guy is an awesome businessman, but he only connects with shareholders, not consumers. I hate this guy to death, but I have friends who think the man's a genius because they're getting rich off Activision's stock.

    Dear god his face ANGERS me. I wonder how much of his attitude will affect the Blizzard side of things. Maybe he's behind taking out LAN from Starcraft 2?
