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.

Sirus: Wait, you made the recovering alcoholic bring beer?
WDF: This shouldn't surprise you, this is me we're talking about... It'll be a test.

Microsoft and Valve and all those companies may use old-school dollars and cents, but Activision's New Age, baby. silverwasp wrote:Be careful what you wish for...

They arn't expansions. Each is a standalone title with same multiplayer. I read ALL your private messages.

Although I guess if people will drop 200 on shit like Rock Band, it might work anyway.
