Is Bobby Kotick trying to set off a firestorm of controversy? The CEO of Activision said today that the company is considering the idea of a Call of Duty MMO, reports Gamespot.
"What would be the natural evolution of a property like
Call of Duty into a massively multiplayer environment... How do you monetize that?" Kotick mused during today's Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in San Francisco.
Normally Kotick's words would merely be seen as thinking out loud about the potential money to be made by tapping the MMO market. But in the wake of Activision's merger with MMO powerhouse Blizzard, Kotick's words have lit the flames of controversy all over the Internet.
Maybe that was the point?
