A truly depressing story, but not surprising when their CEO is on the record as saying, "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought into Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out making video games. I think we've definitely been able to instill in the culture the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we're in today."
You could tell something was wrong with the MW2 game; it was still great but the OTT plot and "unfinished" feel was apparent.<p>I'm not surprised to read they a) didnt want to do it and b) Activision was interfering.<p>Shame.
