My guess is Eidos. But time will tell...

I'd love that, especially getting to play StarCraft & D2.

Kotick's "standards" are such utter bull puckey, it's a wonder the shareholders have kept that idiot there THIS long.

Left field guess: they finally got Bohemia Interactive (or whoever was causing the "licensing issue") to agree to let GOG put Operation Flashpoint back up.

As people have mentioned I very much doubt it will be Lucas Arts or Blizzard as they are pretty much going the Valve/Steam route with the revamping of Battle.net.

Oh yes, Capcom is a definite possibility. I did a lot of investigating. :)
Sega would be great. I completely forgot Crazy Taxi is on PC. That'd rule!

He seems to be making them rich off their arses.

As long as the money keeps rolling in the Shareholders love him. Only if Activisions sales drop and drop badly will they oust him. Look at EA, they had a terrible christmas last year and are laying off staff and NOW they are starting to change their attitude to their customers (Dragon Age DLC excepted. DLC ads ingame is unforgivable).

I'm guessing with the Hero games slumping (from what I hear), there might be changes coming quicker than we think.

This will come, eventually. Kotick's business practices are incredibly shortsighted and they'll probably backfire very soon. I mean, look at his speeches and all that he mentioned are like...they can't possibly generate enough profits to sustain them more than a few years.

Actually EA has been great for a while now (a couple of years I guess).
The problem with Activision is they don't see the long-term. Pumping out Hero games so quick is saturating the market and is going to bite them in the ass. In comparison EA does only one release a year of Rock Band.
Another example is them suing Double Fine and EA after letting go of Brutal Legend. They're unlikely to win and either way Double Fine's talent will never work for them again. Really stupid.
Another example is the gimmicky new Tony Hawk. Instead of going back to basics (American S8land on the DS was amazing because of it), they just added gimmicky peripherals and tried to ape Skate.

edit :P

Modern Warfare 2 is selling enormous numbers of copies. Also, don't forget that it's Activision-BLIZZARD, and with Starcraft 2, another WoW expansion and Diablo 3 on the horizon from Blizz, the cash is not about to stop rolling in anytime soon.

I think you should not count SC2, D3 and WoW into this, because Blizz is pretty much cash independent (= can earn tons of money on its own, to avoid misinterpretations). Blizzard's success is not that fucktard's (Kottick's) credit.

Trouble is, though, that Blizzard's earnings ultimately helps Kotick's cause.

LucasArts will be wonderfull!
