According to CVG, Activision CEO wandered by the E3 booth of Battlefield 3, the regicidal threat to his company’s own Call of Duty franchise, for a friendly look at the competition. He was denied.
EDIT: CVG has updated its story. Activision has denied this event occurred. CVG’s source remains adamant it did.
While Activision remains committed to complete and utter domination of home consoles and the personal computer, it seems the mega-publisher couldn’t care less about emerging platforms like Facebook or the iPhone.
While perhaps not seen in the full context of his talk at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch conference, Activision head Bobby Kotick‘s comments about Bungie did create quite a stir last week.
If Activision stripped all of the cutscenes from StarCraft II, pasted them together into one big movie and charged between 20 to 30 dollars for you to buy it, would you pay? Activision’s Bobby Kotick thinks you would.
