But, true, some updates might be a bit buggy, CSS was still running on a version of source going back to 2005.

The "new cross platform engine" actually only changes a few libraries on the mac; the engine was always abstracted enough to allow the porting to happen in the first place.
Good luck finding the console still working in 25 years with current gen shit.

Wait, they want more indies but have a rule against home offices because it's not professional? Are they kidding me? Where do they think indies can afford to work from to begin with, some of them are even proud of it (like Introversion "bedroom programmers").
That must be why Activision ended up in a lawsuit with the studio who actually created the cash cow they're touting is the main success of xbox live...
Given that's what map packs cost (including the MW1 maps), they are already borderline doing it. Modern Warfare 2, as a complete game, already costs a lot when you add up these costs, probably more than a lot of games by slightly smaller studios who can do FPS just as good with a similarly fleshed out world *cough* Bethesda, Valve *cough*... And for that you get no dedicated server, no mods, no cheat control and the privilege to pay for a subscription service! Quite a steal
The Activision smartphone, it would be open.
With a monthly subscription
And the Activisionstore.
And of those PC games, I suspect at least half involved lawsuits with the development studio, or non-lawsuit but nonetheless screwing the development studio.
Yeah, that's mostly true, but the junker class including a lot of industrialists did put a lot of weight behind them in Germany, thinking the nazis could be easily manipulated... The only thing that saved Schacht from the rope was his being such a complete moron (and if anything proved that it was his attempts at intriguing to get the nazis in power so he could keep them on a short leash for the junker cause... yeah).
Oh, yeah, that sucks.
It's also generally considered a gamer fashion faux pas
The corporations bankrolled both world wars and the rise of fascism.
2Dboys did manage to get World of Goo on wiiware, but it was well after the game sold like hotcakes with free ponies on PC/Mac/Linux.
I'm not sure I'd bet 100$ on that. They're already putting the non-terran campaigns as expansions in SC2, I'm fully waiting for other weird moves of the sort.
They wouldn't follow friendly advice that's gamer or dev friendly anyway, with what they keep doing to gaming studios it's obvious that Kotick keeps a fake moustache in his desk so he can twirl it.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
