A truly depressing story, but not surprising when their CEO is on the record as saying, "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks that we brought into Activision 10 years ago was to take all the fun out making video games. I think we've definitely been able to instill in the culture the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we're in today."

It reads as bitterly sarcastic to me.
