Before I start, this is not about a video game, so I won't put it in the VG forum.

Activision have plans to bypass all consoles for their precious Guitar Hero and have plans to connect with facebook. Activision CEO said, AND I QUOTE, "Taking the fun out of making video games."

Let's face it. Activision is now stuck up its own ass just like EA was those many years ago. I feel sorry for Infinity Ward and Treyarch who are stuck in this crap.

MW2 is the las product of Activision I am purchasing. Anyone else with me?

they should just let it die. they have not been adding anything interesting to the series. I never thought anyone could beat the Tony Hawk series in unoriginality but they are moving up that list very fast. If its for facebook i guess we dont have to pay every 6 months for the newest version but it still seems pointless.

I will admit that I got a 360 reciver for the PC and played frets on fire with the 360 guitar though. I'll reserve my judgment until it comes out but i think i know where they are heading with this

Why was I not informed of this?

Basically, the CEO of Activision treats his employees like crap and doesn't know how to play a video game.

Agreed. Consumers only care about playing the product regardless of the medium be it a console or otherwise. Leave the politics and policy to the businessmen.

That's not even a proper sentence. Can you link to this quote, and the context that surely surrounds it?

It's written in quotations at the top of the page, but I can't see it anywhere in the article itself.

Yeah I saw that... but it's a headline (i.e. it's designed to grab attention).

You're a bit of a hypocrite by telling us to boycott Activision yet you admit you're still going to buy one of their products.

This looks squint.

So, why should Activision bother anybody with its head up its ass? Just buy a different game, you don't HAVE TO HAVE everything new Activision comes up with.

Ok OP, is this situation going to pertain to you? Kill you? Effect you in any way? I don't think it will. So just buy what you want to. And don't buy what you don't want to.

This is what I found. Still doesn't exactly give the quote any context.
