Activision has been much criticized for the cost and skimpy content in its Call of Duty series downloads. However, the Call of Duty map packs have been downloaded more than 20 million times. They cost $15 each currently. You can do the math yourselves, but at that rate, skimpy content at high prices will continue to flow.

In other Activision news, Kotick has lost a sexual harassment and sexual discrimination lawsuit and the appeal which seems to involve a dispute over what he owed a lawyer in the case for representing him. Details here. Note that he wasn't the one doing the harassing but did not prevent it. Instead he fired the complainant. Many thanks to Kotaku for leading me to the LA Times story.
