Alex, Well in a years time ATVI has developed 2 in-house franchises,no multimilion dollar license fees,just good people making great games. I keep looking for the shovelware, not this year, it's A titles on all platforms.

I agree. They really have been turning out quality product. That's what it will take to be successful over the long-term in this industry, and I'm very happy to see ATVI's progress in this direction.

A little bad news.....SoF will not make the Christmas selling period.

Your expectations are high, Raven's expectations are high and Activision is expecting SoF to be BIG! So we don't want to rush it out the door... There is no chance of the game being released before it's done and it will be a much better game for it. Our original assessment of November or December was very do-able from Raven's end, but it would involve cutting things out, cutting corners and not giving the game its full QA and beta trials to make sure that it is fun and bug free. Activision wants to do it right and I don't blame them. I'm not going to lie... The game will not be out by the end of 99. It will be worth the (hopefully short) wait.

A little disappointing...but perhaps there's enough in the pipe that it will do better Q1.
