Reliable Source: Inside the Crisis at Infinity Ward Marion receives some information from a reliable source about what really happened with the Modern Warfare 2 studio. | |
Heh. That was kinda funny. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE! *cue X-Files theme tune* | |
That explains everything. | |
did you write the CODwhistleblower email, or is there someone else who needs credit for that? wonderful! | |
It's all coming together now... Quite frankly, I blame today's violent video games. | |
This sounded like a Tom Clancy-esqe take-over. Since when did Rainbow Six become Activison's A-Team? | |
Hilarious as always Marion. With the way things are going at Activision and the Infinity Ward fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised if Kotick was getting like that. Bye bye cash-cow! | |
The plot thickens! Great article, despite what little writing you actually did... But perhaps thats what made it great? ;) | |
Brilliant, hiding the truth in an internet humor piece to avoid the attention of EA was a great move. I get the "joke" man, don't worry we Escapists will fix everything in the usual internet fashion: we'll start a petition and send it to Bobby Kotick. That will show him. Goons with machine guns are no match for petitions by anonymous internet nerds! | |
I'm confused, why did all that happen? | |
I've got to try that. Maybe mixed with some chocolate and maple syrup to make it a power-food. | |
And to make sure he knows were serious we should boycott something, anything as long as we say its a boycott. | |
That was quite entertaining. | |
Don't forget the mayonnaise. As a friend of mine would say "everything tastes better with mayonnaise". He will put it on literally everything. | |
Oh no.....poor guy, nobody escapes for Kotick, his financial "seek-and-destroy squad" hunt EVERYONE down no matter what......and I hear that before they torture and kill you, they make you make a Guitar Hero spin off just to squeeze a few more cents out of you before they finish you off. Poor Guy | |
Haha, that was a good laugh. Good article as always. | |
RIP Robert Kaneichi. | |
That story was half true. Robert Kotick is not as threatening as the letter describes but threatening nevertheless. He's a cancer to the video game industry. | |
WTF? I don't get this guy's column. I understand that it's fiction, at least I hope it is, then why is it posted as a news article on the Escapist? Bah, I suppose to best answer is "Don't read it if you don't like it." | |
Unlike some, this is an entertaining read. Even when it's fiction and the columns main title seems decieving, I am enjoying this. And to the person above me, yes, you can ignore it if you wish. That's why Escapist is offering many shows/reviewers/writers to appeal to a broad audience. I never ever felt so connected to a site like this one. | |
Was any of that true or complete BS? I thought EA was bad but I will kick activision's ass if they think they can get away hostile takeovers. | |
It was probably a promo thing or something, but this guy 'escaped' and never found out. Good story either way | |
That was hilarious. Thanks for starting my morning off nicely, even though now I wish I had a hashbrown-wich. | |
I preferred the crisis on infinite earths, myself. | |
Hilarious as usual, You rock Cox! | |
You can't honestly believe any of that was true, lol | |
That was brilliant. These articles are both a clever satire of the games industry, and gripping comedy-fiction to the tune of a Cracked.com article. Short and sweet (like my penis) and hilarious as hell (like my penis). Keep em comin man! | |
Well if it is Infinity Ward - They make sets of games about that kinda stuff, maybe they wanted to see how people actually responded to stressful situations... If that isnt the case, then that Mailer has a good imagination... or whoever wrote it | |
You have got to be kidding, do you have any idea whatsoever how illegal that would be, like, any idea at all | |
I know - Its a funny thought if you visualise it though | |
well yeah, that's the point of the article | |
This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read. Good job Marion. Gawd, I laughed until cried. Then I read it again, laughed some more, cried a little. Then I hugged my iPad. | |
'Hiding the truth'? I thought it was suppose to be a piece of satire poking fun at the whole "Activision is evilz! Everything about this mess is their fault!" and "Poor Infinity Ward, I can't believe how oppressed they've been over there! They couldn't possibly be in the wrong whatsoever!" schtick that seems to be the conventional wisdom about the situation. | |
I especially loved the bit where Kotick puts his gun to his head and starts sobbing. That image will always put me in a good mood now. Nice article, Marion! | |
That's about the most believable thing I've read from Marion Cox. | |
