[QUOTE=Darmvlinder;28926136]I have no point but the one in which you wind yourself up over simple economics. Aside from Indie developers, a public company's main interest is to increase all of their sales over their previous ones and to have a positive Mkt. CAP on the stocks. And marketing is completely the responsibility of the publisher.
I see people here make the comparison with Valve, which is an invalid comparison. Activision is a stock market listed (ATVI) publicly owned company while Valve is privately owned (as some have said).
Besides, I do agree with you on some points but as an economist, I try to view it objectively. Activision will be one of the biggest out there as long as they stay trusty to their cheap gaming formula in e.g. Call of Duty.[/QUOTE]
Agree, but you can only milk so much. See guitar hero.

Arguable but true. Eventually, Kotick will need to find new ways to expand on his Call of Duty. With new technologies being developed, and the 12 year olds getting acquainted with the technology sooner, he'll need to invent some sort of Super Mega Awesome Duper Neat 5D Call of Duty.
Exaggeration sucks, I know.
APRIL FOOLS!
Bobby kotic is actually the devil.
