Yea, damn shame. I just cancelled my WOW sub 2 days ago. You know it seems like there is a push to just destroy the video game industry on purpose. Activision reminds me of Mitt Romneys Bane Capital. Buys a business then goes in and destroys it. Trying out FF online now. It isn't too bad so far and at least it's free to try out.
Other than that as someone else mentioned, I really try to support small Developers now. Seems like the AAA companies just want to push the PC nonsense and put out garbage.

During a 45-minute presentation today at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco, Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick covered a substantial amount of ground. For one, the executive explained how he expects Activision games--specifically Guitar Hero--to bypass consoles altogether. The executive also showed off animation technology he hailed as the future of storytelling in games, pegged the next generation of consoles as being two years out or more, and explained openly why he wants a company culture infused with skepticism, pessimism, and fear.
"We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games."
And now we get soulless cash grabs.
I am ready for all the big triple A guys to die, you keep producing dog #, you expect to always beat the last quarters profits.
Sadly you don't understand gamers all that much.
It's ok, keep making # games, others will take your place, just like in the past.
Congrats, I literally avoid EA and Activision.
No game is worth your BS you bring to them.
