Gaming Blend "Before leaving Infinity Ward, Robert Bowling gave honest opinions in an interview about the situation involving DLC and respecting the gaming community by offering up free content packs of classic maps. Could this have been the real reason he's no longer with Activision?"
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
I can see how that can be seen as a lack of professionalism in Activision's eyes. The guy still openly favours MW1 for being everything the current COD is not. I haven't seen any PR do that before, it's always about representing your current product.
Don't bite the hand that feeds, though I appreciate his honesty.
Robert Bowling "Hey Bobby how about we give back to the gamers and give them some Free DLC"
Bobby Kotick "Free! Bee-yotch your fired! pack your crap and get out! Oh and don't forget to pay your parking dues and desk fees on the way out! This is Activision not Charity, we charge $5 to use the bathroom round here"!
Remember how game companies told us DLC would be a good thing? Poor guy was extremely loyal too.
WTF is free DLC?
He'd be raging on twitter if he were.
He definitely wouldn't have announced it on twitter the way he did if he was fired.
This looked planned like his contract was up and he wanted to move on to other things.
Stop trying to make this into some sort of scandal. People move on to work on different games all the time.
