Analysts are stating Call of Duty Black Ops pre-orders are outpacing Modern Warfare 2. As most people know this is great news for COD fans as MW2 broke several sales records and went on to become one of the best selling for all of media. Well thats all great news, but how is Medal of Honor doing?
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.
Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.
Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.
Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
oh thats bs, everybody knows only 360 owners play shooters, right fellas? /s
It is interesting how well the PS3 Medal of Honor is doing in preorders. I wonder how many will be canceled as the release get's closer. I'm curious to see if the PS3 exclusive content will actually help sales, since it usually is the 360 where shooters sell better.
Wow that is a surprise, although I am getting a little bored of COD, and there hasn't been a MOH for a while, so I might get MOH instead. BUT, Black Ops looks surprisingly good so now I'm torn :(
Ive bored of BC2, dont like COD, didnt like the MOH beta, whats a boy 2 do? exactly, wait for K3
Edit: I only mentioned K3 coz other than COD and MOH theres not much else cummin out in the way of online shooters, i guess theres Crysis 2, i just need 2 c more of it till i make up my mind weather 2 buy it or not
Ps3 does have the beta and 360 does not...
