It was announced yesterday at Activision’s earnings call that they were scrapping the Guitar Hero franchise and doing away with their True Crime: Hong Kong title. Most people could care less; True Crime was never a groundbreaking series, while Guitar Hero was becoming a parody of itself and generally considered a distant second (in a two man race) to the Rock Band games
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.

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.

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
Good old Bobby the money maker is trimming the fat so he can make more money.
This spells out good for Harmonix. They just went indie again, had a breakout hit with dance central, and look what happened to NBA 2k11 after the EA basketball game was shelved. Activision's upcoming line-up is horrific, mostly lisenced stuff
This is just them officially saying that they are now codvision
Awwww, I was so looking forward to this...
