LABAL Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Activision is trying to be EA or something?Because... Actually, it's kinda... Very...

(PSN)Pharen Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) It's like 2 guys wearing the same shirt asks another guy to wear the same shirt Everytime the words "Call of Duty" or "Activision" are mentioned anywhere people seem to lose there minds. And I can't even finish my sentence without getting a warning point about describing the behaviour of the community here over things like this.

TheErebus. Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 wat You said "All aboard the big company hate bandwagon" because this thread seems like it's about hating on the acquisition of the other company. It isn't. It's just a joke I decided to make upon hearing this. I honestly don't care about this acquisition, it's just business as usual for most companies.

TheErebus. Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Oh noes, Activision-BLIZZARD (since that part was intentionally left out of the title) It's called clickbait 101. Every other article about this left out Blizzard, yet they mentioned it in the actual article itself. As for me, I did this for a dumb joke, and saying "Candy Crush studio bought by Activison-Blizzard" doesn't look as eyecatching as "Candy Crush studio bought by Activision" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only two types of people who would take a baited reaction from seeing activisions name, the anti-CoD bandwagon of which this forum has numerous of. And the anti-Destiny bandwagon which there are a few, but none so vocal as to bring up destiny everytime there is an issue with something online or posted in the forums, unlike the first group mentioned. As for your claim: "AND I have mentioned before that I no longer hate the CoD series, and you know this." Time will tell as to the accuracy of it. Remember you have already taken an attacking stance as to every piece of CoD news you have posted to date, and that claim was made after your last attack on the franchise.

Time will tell as to the accuracy of it. Remember you have already taken an attacking stance as to every piece of CoD news you have posted to date, and that claim was made after your last attack on the franchise. This is grossly false. Of the archived files I can find, only 1 CoD article made last April included disparaging remarks to CoD. The later article involving CoD was in June and I had taken a very neutral stance towards it: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/479408-co-op-skyrim-and-cod-news-gaming-news/?hl=%2Bcall+%2Bof+%2Bduty#entry5342259 Here the April Article: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/437760-cod-teaser-breh-and-another-square-enix-announcement/ There is another CoD article, but no remarks of any kind was made on it: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/487430-cod-black-ops-3-beta-and-game-dev-rant-and-my-temporary-leave-of-the-forums/?hl=%2Bcall+%2Bof+%2Bduty And here is also another CoD article with an actual positive remark: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/468534-x-com-2-announced-and-bruce-campbell/ Because Bruce Campbell is cool. There are only two types of people who would take a baited reaction from seeing activisions name, the anti-CoD bandwagon of which this forum has numerous of.

It may be a side effect of posting this, but it is not my intention whatsoever NOR do I approve of mindless CoD bashing. I have proven that I do not hate CoD (In fact I'm actually interested in BO3).

Of all the links you posted this is the only one where you directly referenced CoD as a game and not minor things such as a music composer, or a possible remastering as a snippet in a thread otherwise unrelated to call of duty: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/437760-cod-teaser-breh-and-another-square-enix-announcement/ And as it just so happens it is also the one where you bashed the IP. And as I mentioned already: "...that claim was made after your last attack on the franchise", which is a statement that still holds true. And that's pretty much all I have to say on that because everything would just be me repeating what I've already said, I'll hold you to your word though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
