Activision PR manager took $29k from Call of Duty budget

Should have done like everybody else, Booze and Strippers.

Seems legit.

What the **** do you need 6 ipads for?

Well, that was kind of stupid.

*Sigh* Women.

How did they manage to get caught and yet still get away with it? Ridiculous.

The judge said he would give a harsh sentence. I'd like to see his light sentences. "You stole a TV, so that's a $50 fine."

Should've been fired on the spot. Unreal.

That money was supposed to go to favorable review scores. Expect to see a lot of 4's and 5's come November.

So what, it was money from a launch event,meaning it would have been spent on booze and other entertainment anyway. and what is 29k to them in the bigger scheme of things...COD wasn't going to get any better with that money.

And then Activision grossed $1 billion in 15 days with Black Ops 2, made $500 millions in 24 hours at retail.

Meaningless 29k, but theft none the less.

maybe they should have never taken away the ability to quickscope, because karma is a bia... (Invading another world as a black phantom).. dark souls II shield design contest! click link then click vote! https://apps.facebook.com/darksoulsii/?gallery&action=view&id=2413

Good to see some people have to make this about the sexual identity of the person involved.............

I knew when I was playing it felt that it needed around 30k more in development to make it better.

What a chick this one is :)

"she was entranced by the "glamorous and luxurious" world of public relations"

... and that's why you shouldn't put women in positions of discretionary power.

Funny comment I saw at IGN's boards: "Why wouldn't Activision want that $29,000 back? That's the budget for the next Call of Duty."

No doubt I'm ignorant, but it sounds more like this once it reaches my brain =S

"Sum mofos took 30K of ur kids cash n spent it on sh*t"

29k is peanuts for that this franchise is making.. Not justifying the fraud though.

Good job

Hahahahaha

Lulz. Lulz. Lulz.

Good Thing i stopped caring about Cod after mw2.

Blue Collar criminals are the worst thieves.

Stealing money, from a company that steals money from gamers.

WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER!

If I stole $30,000 I'd probably get put away for life...

Stealing almost $30,000 = 18 months

Illegally downloading a $10.00 CD = 2 years and $150,000 fine

lol

I guess the consequences depend on if you are Upper class, or hard working middle class.

We always get the shaft.

What a waste of money... I understand taking it if you're in desperate need, but six ipads, shopping sprees and holiday breaks are just beyond irresponsible and disrespectful... Whatever they have coming, they deserve it.

@veryDERPY "jew"? Really?

Activision's been stealing from us from day one. No surprise they're doing it internally.

Crooks at Activision?! Nah can't be......

Morons.

Gladly, i never bought Black Ops 2.

dumbass only the government can do that and get away with it

Maybe someone would like to send a message to Kathryn Kirton.
