The people who fought for independence are no longer the ones running the company. Just like with InfinityWard, the people who made the company what it is have long since left or been fired/laid off. The studio is only the same in name and by what IPs it owns. Other than that it’s basically entirely different.

They were tired of making the same fps game over and over, so they switched to making the same fps game over and over.

Or even just Activision almost immediately after leaving Microsoft. They never even released anything without having a “master”

Come now. They released some cool Mac games before they were snapped up by MS

Marathon was a blast (and Halo incorporated many elements of it).

And Windows too (Oni)

I meant after leaving Microsoft.

Dafuq? Probably too young for Marathon or Oni…
