Grargar: At this point, I have almost given up any hope of seeing a new Activision release here and have only had my paranoia about a possible removal of their whole catalog increase. Hopefully, I'll be wrong and Activision will start releasing again before reaching a full 4-year-hiatus.
It's interesting to me (and I think I've said this before) that inactive publishers will put their current catalog
on sale (weren't some of Activision's games on sale during the winter sales?), but can't be bothered to release any more games here. I guess it's all those expensive lawyers needed.
Honestly I don't have much hope either given that, iirc, PC Gamer tried to get info on SWAT 4 and the spokesperson basically said they couldn't be bothered with their backlog anymore. I wonder how long the original contract with Activision was suppose to last; I would have thought 5 years, but if so, the games would have been gone by now (if it wasn't renewed).
Grargar: Or even more hopefully, they will remove their whole catalog, convince other big publishers to do so, GOG will remain without any big games and will be forced to shut down and we'll all be crying ourselves to sleep. :P
