This is true, but would you consider an over the top generalization of women in gaming in a parody or satirical work appropriate? Or only if counter weighted by an equally generalized male (or asexual or pansexual or homosexual or insertstereotypehere)?

Wait, Kotick is still alive? It's been so long since Activision has done anything fucked up that I figured they gave him the boot.

Bobby Kotick got a 779% pay increase last year Article Update: Kotick did not in fact receive $64.9 million (an 8x pay increase) in 2012. He received $8.33 million, as he did in 2011. Bloomberg, the source of our post, updated its article to reflect this, now pretend you understand how businesses and stocks work: "The bulk of the increase for Kotick came in stock awards valued at $55.9 million, based on regulatory reporting rules, that were tied to a new employment agreement signed in March 2012, according to a filing yesterday by the video-game software company. While vesting stretches over five years, the awards are reported in the year of the grant. Kotick, 50, received $8.33 million in total compensation last year, filings show." In short, Kotick is rich, just not insane "I am going to build my own Dubai on the moon, bitches!" rich. So in about five years he'll have 64.9 million. Which is 70 billion more than he deserves.

	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

They've already announced a new CoD for the end of the year, when I checked yesterday. My response? Not a single fuck was given.

Franchises are supposed to be continuations of the story line and gameplay. Not cash ins. Although I am attached to army guy.

Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	Call of Duty has been a mass milking machine since the popularity of Modern Warfare eclipsed the market by surprise. I don't see it going away anytime soon, if EA Sports games are anything to go by.

We went from being "LET'S BE LIKE HALOLZ" to "LET'S BE MODERN WAREFARE" Except this time no one even tries to be original.
