You fucks were aware of the issues BEFORE launch but you still released it and tricked fans of the franchise out of $60!"We are aware of the issues that players have experienced following the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5...
Someone spent all morning on that.
Because what they are doing is technically not illegal, at least in the USWhy doesn't somebody sue them

It's super-legalKnowingly releasing a broken product isn't illegal?
This can't be real. I mean...it can't lolLooks like they took this from the Video Game Publisher Manual, 2013 Edition.
Original reads as follows:
Not going to support this publisher anymore.
Edit: Will buy Black Ops 3 for 20 bucks used.
On what grounds?
That's a long sentence, but thread title checks out.
Activision's Official PR Statement #102845-For use if the game developed and published on our behalf is considerably unpolished. Version 2.34, updated as of November 17th, 2009.
"We are aware of the issues that players have experienced following the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 and are working with the developer to address these so that we can continue to improve the gameplay experience for all of the Tony Hawk fans who have known and loved this franchise for more than 16 years".

Definitely a fair amount of people on GAF that picked it up.Did anyone actually buy this game?
Why? People on neogaf should know more then anyone to wait and see what the game was actually like especially since this game was being buried hard by Activision.Definitely a fair amount of people on GAF that picked it up.
Are you saying Activision will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes?In the spirit of dodgy customer support, I feel the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's "Go stick your head in a pig" is ideal for this purpose.
That is a hilariously insincere pseudo apology.
Hahaha.
Activision was aware of the problems. Sony was aware of them. Microsoft. Their respective QA teams and executives.
I feel bad for the developers. Don't get me wrong, Robomodo is by no means absolved from the garbage they created. But Activision knowingly and willingly pushed out this trash. Sony and Microsoft knowingly and willing allowed this trash to be pushed to market. They have just as much fucking blame as Activision.
Robomodo made the best (worst?) of a shit situation and those other companies only compounded their problems by letting such fucking garbage into people's homes.
Sony and Microsoft aren't there to dictate the quality of a game, just that it works on their systems without making it explode.Hahaha.

Some people were desperate for a real Tony Hawk sequel. Hope overshadowed the red flags.Why? People on neogaf should know more then anyone to wait and see what the game was actually like especially since this game was being buried hard by Activision.
Genius idea honestlyThey should have put a goat on the skateboard and named the game Tony Hawk`s Skate Goat Simulator. It would have sold millions, and people would be happy with it.
You're being unfair. Goat Simulator ran well at the time of release, with no huge day-one patches and stuff.They should have put a goat on the skateboard and named the game Tony Hawk`s Skate Goat Simulator. It would have sold millions, and people would be happy with it.
Yep reviews are trickling out now. 27 Metacritc score so far.Isn't one of the Tony Hawk installments the highest rated PS1 game on Metacritic? And now this latest entry is the lowest rated PS4 game on Metacritic, or close to it anyway. There's something strangely poetic about that.
Activision has become worse than EA in terms of broken games.
So is this the game Eurogamer was talking about being so busted?
Also is that Cherno Alpha?
