>Kotick's private army

THIS CAN'T BE GOOD

>>51189041


I fucking hate Activision, and I fucking hate that greedy Jew Bobby Kotick even more.

Jason West got canned.

viral marketing ploy.

Seriously who shows up with heavies to a FUCKING VIDEO GAME DEVELOPERS office. That's like showing up to a nursery with an army.

>Promblem

Aside from that, goddamn. Insubordination?

Look how fucking cheap his suit looks.
I hate that guy.

Allegedly, Infinity Ward hasn't seen a dime of the billion Kotick made off of MW2, so Zampella and Jason West had been meeting with other publishers secretly.

Also to note, their contract with Activision ends in October.

I hope them leaving bankrupts that fat fuck

Why do I want Kotick to have sex with me?
...why, /v/, why? ;_;

Bobby Kotick wanted some fresh liver for breakfast

"The emerging spat between Activision and the heads of Infinity Ward may have been caused by unpaid royalties.

Website BingeGamer (via VG247) was told by a collection of unnamed sources that not a single penny of the $1bn generated by MW2 has been seen by Infinity Ward.

The report also states that the "insubordination" IW bosses Jason West and Frank Zampella appear to have been sacked for was caused by secret discussions with rival publishers.

Infinity Ward partially owns the rights to the Call of Duty IP, and the studio's contractual obligations to Activision end October 2010, the report pointed out.

News broke early this morning that security had arrived at Infinity Ward to give West and Zampella their marching orders, following an internal human resources inquiry.

There's still been no official response by Activision or Infinity Ward."

>>51189485

So, who else is excited for Bad Company 2?

:D

>>51189501


because your a dirty dirty whore who wants to gaze upon his Jew gold

>Kotick later stated he tries to promote an atmosphere of "skepticism, pessimism, and fear" in his company

Kotick strikes again!

I hope BC2 does better than MW2.

How the fuck is it possible for Activision to make EA look good?

>>51189688
Hmm, that actually makes sense. Thanks anon :*
I can haz jew monies nao?

They probably suggested Dedicated servers.

Mr Bobby "Money Bags" Kotick is at it again!

Oh boy

Kotick, you silly boy

>>51189735

It is better
But it won't do better

>"A significant portion of our revenues has historically been derived from products based on a relatively small number of popular franchises and these products are responsible for a disproportionately high percentage of our profits," the report points out.

>"Due to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these franchises may significantly harm our business and financial results," according to the report.

>Or, in Brian terms, one bad Call of Duty, one under-performing Guitar Hero, or, don't even think it, a sudden disinterest in World of Warcraft leveling and Activision will be in a world of hurt.

hey guys, lets fire the main guys at infinity ward who created one of our 3 main sources of income!

INSUBORDINATION

>>51189763

Beat me to it.

Just according to keikaku.

>>51189971

goddamn

>>51189380
that better not be true.

ACTIVISION BEING... GREEDY?

HOW HORRIFYING!

>>51189926

He created it. Now they have it.

Why do they need him now?

We shall destroy the rebels....

>IW heads Vince Zampella and Jason West
Call of Duty is officially dead, it was in comatose for quite some time now so its no biggie.

>>51189041
bouncer-types?

Goddamn, I feel bad for hating on IW now. Fuck you /v/, they weren't the bad guys.

>>51189763

I seriously need an .mp3 or .wav of I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL and other HARBINGER LINES

I don't really like MW2 much but I thought Vince was a great guy when I met him a few months ago. I'm sure they'll get solid jobs. Also, fuck bobby kotick.

>Story sounds ridiculous, follow link expecting a kotaku story from 3 years ago
>Its real
>Karmic payback for shitting on PC community
>My face

>>51189672
Going to pick it up on PC after I get out of work. They should go back to EA they are better now, figures after what DICE said about DLC they are the true devs. Activision is scared of the competision.

>>51190038
They're being greedy by breaking the law.

Which is ironic considering I recall that whole selling shares thing with Kotick.

>>51189926
> a sudden disinterest in World of Warcraft leveling and Activision will be in a world of hurt.

Again with this bullshit.
WoW.
is.
not.
Activision.
direct.
property.

Wow is still property of Blizzard Entertainment, and Activision-Blizzard is more of a Joint Venture than a single company.

>>51189926
Activision doesn't even get a snif of the WoW money.

good. after the abomination that MW2 was they can fuck off and die. hopefully activision is nextfor publishing such a fuck up.

>>51190153
>solid jobs

They'll make another studio, shitloads of other IW guys will go and they'll make another FPS that's better than CoD.

But the casuals will still buy CoD in their millions
Casuaaallllsss.....

>>51190224
>>51190206

Shhh, /v/ fags need a reason to hate on wow so they can still feel like they're superior to somebody.

Activision makes money from 2 games, WoW and COD. While WoW will never stop being a cash cow, eventually COD will die off.

Why the fuck does Kotick always have that evil smile? It's really disturbing.
