I was going to post something yesterday, before this “ended” but I didn't. The fighting is stupid, no offense guys. Doctor V., you points are fine, but you are not the end all be all of opinoins on interent. Same goes for the other guys. Like said above: you guys were all right AND all wrong at the same time. Some points from all of you, were dead on, and others off, WAY off.
The main discussion, I think I followed it till it broke down, was Fans vs. Game Companies. Well sorry to the main two fighting over this, you both are wrong. Game Companies and other companies with a fanbase MUST respect and do owe fans a little, NOT everything though. At the same time, fans OWE the companies respect, and NOT ask for everything in the world and have it all done the exact way they want. So the relationship is 50/50, that is way it is in life. Fans make a company, yes, but a company makes fans. With no respect going both ways, it breaks down. Doctor V. my friend, you kept saying “it is business”, well that worked for a while for a company, call Microsoft, till they released Vista and look now: they didn't respect their users, put a piece of sh*t OS out and ALREADY Windows 7 is about to be in beta, because they didn't respect the users/customers and provide a great OS; they just released something to make money.
Activision DOES owe us something, but not everything. They should have taken the time ti hand off games to other publishers and not leave them hanging, BUT, those fans that think we are owed everything, sorry! Even if they did this, Activision would be attacked by fans, saying “They OWE us more!”. No, they owe you the 50% you deserve, and the respect.
I am not trying to be smart, but come on guys, lets just back up and think about things. Lets all RESPECT each other, and act mature. These are the facts:
1) The game is delayed. Get over it.
2) It WILL come in 2009. Get over it.
3) Bitching at Activision now is pointless. Get over it.
Move past this and look at the positives in that we DO have a game and DO have RGB collection coming. Just lets be happy it wasn't canceled.
