Imagine if the Louvre Museum in France came out with a statement to the effect of “the Mona Lisa is really old content and it costs too much to continue to preserve. So, since we have newer paintings to show off, we hereby announce that we’re going to throw that…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Activision can screw off. That’s the big bit of news this week after the company announced that it was going to axe 200 people while giving CEO, Bobby Kotick, a bonus of $200 million. I’d say “stop supporting Activision,” but the video game industry does love…
