BrokenPillar Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but apparently Activision just announced an Indie Game Competition. Here is the Gamasutra article: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27299/DICE_2010_Kotick_Talks_Passion_For_Industry_Debuts_Indie_Contest.php and here are the rules that have been posted on Activision's website: http://www.activision.com/ROOT/media/sweepstakes/indie_game/Indie%20Game%20Competition%20FINAL%20-%20WEB.pdf The winner will probably have to sell their game's soul to the Game Producer Devil, but you never know...

Josh Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Although I agree caution should be exercised, and do not have a good opinion of Bobby Kotick, inflammatory language and negativity without explaining your position will be moderated. You can say the same thing in more precise and less emotional terms, and make your point better. If you have a reason to distrust Activision, you are welcome to explain exactly why. What I want to avoid is threads where people throw loaded terms around with no real discussion.

Canardia Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 To get an understanding of this person, you should read this article: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/94711-Bobby-Kotick-Wants-to-Take-the-Fun-Out-of-Making-Games It's nothing against Activision, just one man who just happens to have this job.

Rick Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I think it's a cool idea for people who maybe want a job at an existing game company (which doesn't even sound like much fun from all the stories you hear these days), but for the person who wants to create their own business making games probably not so much. You would want to own and control all aspects and not have to give up certain rights to the game you make for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's fine to point out. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
