The fact that Activision threw this brilliant studio into the Call of Duty mines is actually unforgivable. They deserve all the praise in the world. Crash 4 has its problems, sure, but it was also the first modern Crash project to stop coasting on nostalgia and actually push the series forward.
Kind of have to wonder what the hell Microsoft has been doing the past 20 years instead of building up the Xbox ecosystem without them resorting to carving up huge chunks of the market. I’m all for acquisitions like Rare and Double Fine, as these are talented studios that stand to gain a lot from the backing of a platform holder. Activision is not that, not to mention the only reason they’re supporting the buyout is because it provides a cushy exit strategy for the abusive management.
