lol

A little sarcasm from the Gamespot crew, eh?

 

[silent]

vivendi has ****ed up soo much in the past it is hard to take them seriously.

 

[Netherscourge]

I don't get the greater article though - are they saying they will shut down Vivendi Universal Games if they can't find a buyer by the end of the next quarter?

So Valve, Blizzard, etc... would have to find a new Publisher?

Or am I reading that wrong?

 

[silent]

I am pretty sure you are right. They'll probably go back to Sierra.

 

[Netherscourge]

If they go to Atari/Infogames, I will kill myself...

 

[silent]

Heh, same here.

 

[sniperdoggy]

or worse Electronic arts!!! uggghhh they will make valve spew out expansion packs for half life 2 every 2 months!!!

 

[silent]

Yeah they will! They'll probably come out with a sims expansion.

 

[sniperdoggy]

and they would force valve to put half life 2 on ps2 since EA likes to put games on the lowest common machine

Thanks. I just found my new signature quote!

 

[silent]

Nice Mountain Man Nice.

 

[BlumenKohl]

Activision has unparalleled customer support.

 

[LoneDeranger]

Forget Vivendi, Valve should just go Steam-only.

No Steam jokes please. We all know it's a stable and efficient distribution platform.
