Jordan Lund lays into Sony for the Activision fiasco, and offers advice on how to repair the rift before it becomes irreparable.
Excerpt: "So here's what you do: you need to send out representatives RIGHT NOW to every major developer - Activision, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft - developers without whom your console cannot survive. You need to clue them in, IN PERSON, to what is going on with your plans for the Playstation 3:
"Yes, the PS3 slim is real, yes, it's coming in October with the PSP Go! (or whenever), yes it will have a price cut."
We know you can't tell the public this, but there is absolutely no reason to keep this information from developers, you know, the people who help keep you in business; remember Steve Ballmer: "Developers! Developers! Developers!" Based on Kotick's threats, this is exactly what you are doing - keeping vital information out of the hands of the people who can help you capitalize on it."
Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.
i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.
its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.
They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.
They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
heres one way to end the stupidity, stop creating articles about giving advice to a company that already has employees that give advice.
This is just another Fail Article.
So all retards are hopping on the Activision bandwagon now? This is like last years PS3 sinking ship version. Just let the two multimillion dollar companies handle their business.
Yeah... because industry secrets can be kept now?
Everytime Sony gets negative attention, some knob thinks it's his job to step in and mediate. Boring....
