First, Dan didn't "sell out" for anything. He doesn't get the big bucks and everything he said was mere conjecture. Joystiq should have never reported his comments as official statements. He doesn't know anything more than anyone else - he's just giving Activision the benefit of the doubt. You don't know what happened between Activision and IW. Yes, Bobby Kotick is seemingly evil, and yes, West and Zampella made a great game. But we, as outsiders, can't base everything on these two judgments alone. For all we know, the IW execs broke their contract. I don't think that's the case, but we can't be sure.

Second, Dan's a stand up guy. He was just trying to discuss Activision with disgruntled fans in a way that we can all appreciate. He was a great writer at OXM, he's always been completely honest and open on his blog and everywhere else, and you guys are giving him crap for talking directly with fans and positing that maybe, MAYBE, Activision was in the right (something about which we can't possibly be sure). God people, where's your decency?
