Yes. Buying studios, absorbing it's profits, firing it's employees, and turning out the same game you made every year for the past 6 years is business. The same way dry anal rape is social interaction.

Good read. Activision is fast becoming known for shutting down game developers. It's a disgusting formula. Buy a studio that makes great games like Prototype, then shut it down, keeping a few staff members to churn out more CoD bullshit.

When I'm looking for an analogy dry anal rape is the first thing that comes to mind! Who wants candy?

Activision has no presence in Montreal, and i don t think either Ubisoft mtl, EA mtl, or Eidos mtl are going anywhere. Montreal has some of the worlds most creative people and it doesnt matter whos in charge cause there will always be work here for people in the gaming industry.
