Game companies expect (near Demand) we support them given products that don’t exist.

The “April Joke guy” was so emotionally compromised, his flat tone came out of deepest despair.

Forbes’ site is basically blog hosting these days. The majority of things on there are written by Contributors which do not work for or represent the views of Forbes as a business entity. (it’s in the small print)

... that Activision is setting expectations too high
