  1. Activision says they are making boatloads of money but declines to reveal how many copies have been sold... After spending the most money developing a game in the history of gaming and potentially getting egg on their face... And after admitting that most of the 500 million dollars is going towards "advertising campaigns" (for those who are naive, that means paying the media to say good things about your game)... Destiny would have had to sell between 15 and 16 million copies for Activision to break even on their half a billion dollar investment. The news that's been coming out seems really shady to me, primarily because the numbers don't seem to add up. Also, you have to consider that Activision makes a percentage of the profit, not the entirety of the profit. Most publishers make anywhere between 20% and 50% from the PROFITS of the sales. Which means for Activision to have made 632 million United States Dollars from sales so far... 632m/60 USD per unit = 10,533,333 and 1/3 units ASSUMING that Activision makes 50% (which is very unlikely), that means 632,000,000/30 USD per unit = 21,066,666 and 2/3 units Assuming the more likely scenario that Activision makes 20%, that means 632,000,000/12 USD per unit = 52,666,666 and 2/3 units In pre-orders and shelve populating. I think that Activision has no qualms about blowing smoke to the media to try to boost Destiny's popularity (and hopefully make their money back). EDIT: Also, for evidence of Activision buying good press, look no further than MetaCritic.

  3. Person A kind of likes Person C, really likes Person E, Person B is their best friend, and Person D they either have a crush on or hate.
  4. It seems that TheSilverCenturion and BeckoningZebra1 have something in common...

    1. BeckoningZebra1
    2. Unease Peanut
    3. Jack Of Harts

      Jack Of Harts

      They're both Community Pmoderators?

  5. Person A has social anxiety issues. Person A somewhat enjoys the company of Person C, but is nervous without their "wingman", Person B. Person A either dislikes Person D, or is too nervous to speak to them with or without Person B.
  6. Well let's see. If Person A can communicate with Person C with Person B present but cannot do it very well I would say that Person A speaks a language that Person C has studied a little bit but isn't completely fluent in it. Person B acts as an interpreter. Person D, however, seems to not be able to understand the language that Person A speaks or the language that Person B interprets in very well. For instance: Person A speaks English fluently. Person B speaks English and French fluently. Person C speaks English at a standard rate but speaks fluent French. Person D speaks Russian and only speaks a little bit of English and may or may not speak a little bit of French. Or perhaps: Person A is deaf and Person B understands sign language fluently and is not deaf, but only speaks English. Person C understands a standard amount of sign language and can understand English fluently. Person D does not understand English very well and does not know very much sign language.
  7. I think that the PS3 and PS4 versions of Minecraft may stop seeing updates, if not get pulled all together. The updates for minecraft will also be faster, as they will have more funding from M$, and I think that Mojang will finally come out with their other games.
  8. They don't have anything to do with the servers anymore... However I would find it amusing if they kept the passwords and stuff and 343i never changed them.
  9. Fourth time I've answered this (in it's many variants), however: A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
