With the recent backlash coming from Activison in regards to Black Ops Beta videos, Pixel Enemy did a little digging and have come up with two different theories as to why Activison have pulled all Call of Duty: Black Ops videos from the internet.
It’s been rumored before that Activison would charge a subscription fee for future Call of Duty games, however Activison has always denied this claim. Could this be the subscription service that analysts such as Michael Patcher were talking about?
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.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
No way in hell am i paying for this if true
i thought it was just closed beta stuff being taken down? cause i can still see trailers and other stuff and also its closed beta for a reason
and i just don't see how they can prevent vid from being uploaded once the game releases
i would go with theory 2
Who in the HELL would buy this? :facepalm:
Some websites theories dont make a rumour.
Seriously, I would go with the whole the game isn't out yet so everything involving footage from BO is violating copyrights and therefore taken down.
I'm not a fan of Kotick either but this is fear-mongering at it's finest when in all reality, it's probably that they just don't want video of the PRIVATE beta out there when it was never supposed to leave their private beta structure.
Are people seriously this hungry to hate on Activision and find conspiracy theories?
He worse than Mr krabs
