Cliffy B. tweets out cryptic message related to Activision

"Any discussion that comes up for now is just speculation, but it's not hard to pull together a message from this tweet. Could Cliffy B. be on his way to Activision?", writes GoNintendo.

Following the money? That's why 99% of us work isn't it. Maybe he is just looking for the highest offer.

[Knight_Crawler]

Well said...people on here do not realize how big Cliffy is in the gaming industry.

In terms of money I can MS outbidding everyone else but they wont get him because Cliffy will probably want any new IP that he makes to belong to him and he will want 100% freedom which I dont see MS agreeing to - I can see Actvision getting him since Bungie signed a deal with Activision with the same terms.

@Knight_Crawler

The only down side is that even if Activision let you keep the IP, they will make you drain it of all its worth before you leave.

Aren't Bungie contracted to make like 3 of them in consecutive years? With an a$$ tonne of DLC?

Meh, I'm gonna chill out and watch The Walking Dead now.

[rezzah]

Freedom and Activision doesn't seem to mix, more like milking until dry.

[BLAKHOODe]

Cliffy B should go to the highest bidder. He doesn't just bring experience from working on a major hit, like Gears Of War, but he brings recognition to whoever he works with. Cliffy B is one of the most recognizable people in the game industry and that recognition is worth millions.

[SilentNegotiator]

Not all of us have "brain drain" [phrase] problems and are weak enough to get harpy'd towards ANYONE that gives the highest bid. Although, I could certainly think of some good word play for brain drain regarding Cliffy.

[FarCryLover182]

He also posted pics of Naughty Dog, WB, etc. He's just posting pics lol

[spicelicka]

Lol eaxctly, sooo cryptic omg

[spicelicka]

exactly*

[bubblebeam]

@spicelicka

You didn't need to correct 'exactly'.

Considering you spelled it *EA*xctly, plus used cryptic in the same sentence, I thought you were hinting at him going to EA lol. Thought you were being tricky for a second. Maybe I over analysed......or not o_0 ???

[spicelicka]

@bubblegum
hahaha damn should've just left it, i was being cryptic without even realizing it:p

[bubblebeam]

@FarCry

Lol, imagine if he went to ND and Drake transformed into a big muscular guy with Marcus Fenix's voice.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[BlackPrince 42]

Actually if he went to ND it might be a good thing. He'd know how to tighten up the combat controls for the Uncharted games. (Which is basically the worst thing about that franchise, even if relatively speaking it's still better than most games.)

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

Yeah i think this is his way of still being talked about within the gaming industry until he moves on to whatevers next for him, and everyone reporting about this is feeding into it. Good job cliffy, btw ask cliffy about jazz jack rabbit, he loves that

[Ben_Grimm]

He was at Zynga headquarters in SF earlier this week.

http://www.whosay.com/Cliff...

I reported the story but it was deemed lame, yet this one has just as much info as my story did.

Could he be looking at other places to go work?

[Majin-vegeta]

@Burning finger lmfao xD.

[KonaBro]

He posted a pic of Activision, Zynga, and EA. He's not going to Activision when he has other places to consider.

[DivineAssault]

Guns blazing is his specialty.. why not?

[Sigh]

lol this guy trying to act like he's Lebron James and "The Decision" summer of 2010.

[SageHonor]

off topic but i like your hei avatar

[taquito]

the beeman wants to work on next gen stuff, not be stuck at ms endlessly working on their 9 year old console

he said publically that gears of war 2 would be the last gears game on 360 and that gears 3 would be a next gen game, lol....loook how that turned out, and they are still going to crap out another gears of war game (judgement?) on that ancient relic

no wonder he left. make pc games dude, thats where you started and thats where you should stay

[jay2]

He's playing, he's got one for Naughty dog too.

[0pie]

he also did the same thing when he was at zynga and ea... stupid article...

[Emperor_Obama]

He is just vacationing and checking out various places and taking pictures. He has been working nonstop for like 20 years, that takes a toll on anyone.

He tweeted pics of Playboy just a minute ago, if you follow him on Twitter you'll know he Tweets all kind of weird and random stuff. I wouldn't read too much into it.

-I'm Emperor Obama, and I approve this message.

[Crazay]

He's just trying to stay relevant during his little "Staycation". Probably wasn't feeling the love of all his adoring fans stroking his **ahem** ego the last few weeks.

[memots]

I agree with you because of your avatar pic

[ForRealz17]

What a fucking whore.

[Drazz]

don't give a shit....

[strummerdood]

Ha, you guys seriously buying into this? He's been tweeting different studios he's visited since he left Epic. Now all of a sudden he visits quite possibly the biggest gaming studio in the world and he's going to be working there now? God you guys are gullible.

Also, if you seriously think Cliff Bleszinski is an untalented mouthpiece... Jesus Christ.

[RememberThe357]

Activision knows that they are going to run COD into the ground. That's why they did the deal with Bungie and now are probably trying to get Cliffy on board as well. They are looking for the replacement for COD when the time comes.

[bubblebeam]

Looking for a new guy to screw out of money for his hard work. Though I doubt anyone will care this time around lol.

[Zha1tan]

Why is everybody so caught up with what one person does with his career?

[Sunk]

Um, Cliffy B. is an awesome programmer himself. How do you think he got a job in the first place? He's been doing this since his teens.

[jonboi24]

There's only one place that would be perfect for Cliffy B, Sony Santa Monica studios. Imagine what he could do with the God of War team.

[Silly gameAr]

I can't see Cliff working for Activision. Why would he leave Epic just to be stuck with those guys.

[NotSoSilentBob]

Money Talks.

[NotSoSilentBob]

I can see it now as Cliffy B goes to Activision and becomes their new spokes person. He is better at flapping his jaw over designing a game.
