Activision Blizzard, What the ????
So, in the course of a few short weeks Activiziblizargesaultmegazrodofevildesu has shut down Red Octane, gutted Neversoft, beheaded Infinity Ward and pretty much guaranteed I will not be supporting them anytime in the near future. Even my excitement for a certain Blizzard game that has taken forever to come out has been shot to hades. I get it’s a business, but when you are killing off top assets, one has to wonder WTF over. Meanwhile everyone loves EA. You gotta love the oddness of that.
I also just read that Squenix has dissolved their music team. This follows on the heels of many of their top composers leaving the fused company to take on life as a freelancer. While this probably has less impact than it sounds like, for a studio that has been known for it’s amazing soundtracks it is a sad thing to see. I hope to get more regular with the inputs, but we will have to see how things go. As always I am open to comments/critiques and discussion on any of these or other topics. Just be patient since i can’t get to this at work, and I am firmly stuck in the past (relative to the contiguous 48 states).
I, too, was sad to hear about Squeenix closing their music studio down. And I think MW2 was the last Activision game for me ever. Everything they do reeks of douchebaggery.
I won’t mention that you said that about MW1, oh wait . . . 😉
