"The fact of the matter is, it's absolutely, positively untrue about us trying to stretch it out and milk it. People think that it was a monetary driven decision. I can absolutely, positively tell you, with 100 per cent certainty, that that was not part of the conversation. I guarantee it. I give my word. There was never, ever a conversation where we said, 'let's do this because we're going to make more money'. I guarantee it. As a matter of fact the sole reason we did it was because we thought it was going to be a better experience. Anybody that says otherwise is not correct. It is absolutely not what we did it for."

Oh. OK. Glad that was settled. I'll start saving up $150 again, then.

Fuck it, they know their biggest cash flow will be from Korea anyways.

Yeah and NASDAQ:ATVI is not a publicly traded company thats sole purpose is to make money for share holders.
I read ALL your private messages.

Correct. Activision runs their business off of fun. Microsoft and Valve and all those companies may use old-school dollars and cents, but Activision's New Age, baby.

Either you're terrible at math or you actually think expansion packs cost $50 a pop in PC gaming.

They arn't expansions.
Each is a standalone title with same multiplayer.

That is a very odd decision. Although I guess if people will drop 200 on shit like Rock Band, it might work anyway.
