Awesome is certainly one word to describe it. Not the word I would choose though.

Wasgo: The main issue I see is that he assumes that everything the CEO does is in the best interest of the company and is using short term profits as his gauge of success. Anyone that suggests a long-term outlook is stupid because they're ignoring his limited perception.

Let's not forget shareholders and the fact that Activision has a parent company. All it would take is for Kotick to continue to make such damaging statements and things could change drastically far faster than they would from customer discontent. That's why I pointed out Ratner earlier. It was what he said to shareholders that did him in.

Miaghstir: Hey, cool! It's the forum quote bug creeping up again, we played with this a while ago (that is, months, or weeks, I can't remember), we ended up getting all posts pushed to the left instead of centered IIRC.

Navagon: It looks like everything is sliding to the left again.

Oh thank god. I thought it was me slipping slowly to the right.

No. You're not alone. GOG's slowly drifting to the left here.

trusteft: I disagree. Customers do not learn. You and me, maybe, but the vast majority, no. The only who might change are the vocal minority that screams in forums. Activision (and every Activision) will continue to make stupid amount of money from sequels etc. Why? Because people want them and will buy them.
Taking comments by a company man, personal, and then commenting on an unrelated thread in a forum, about how much one hates (because Activision raped your dog, right?) said company is as childish as one can get.

The sequels will sell...for awhile. Then people get tired of the same game series being milked to death...how about the Tony Hawk series for an Activision example? How much longer do you really think people are going to drop $80+ for Guitar Hero games?
Now, if you keep introducing new content along with the sequels, you're fine because you have new material to sell when people get tired of the old. However, if you don't have anything new to move to, now you're screwed by your own shortsightedness.

I don't know, it shocks me that people pay so much money for Guitar Hero games as it is. I would use anoher word, but I will keep it civil.
Yes, you need to introduce something, and it will be alright. But if you don't then you don't really have a sequel anyway. But yes, I agree with you.
