The final verdict on Activision... we'll never know

It's a little over two years now since I put Activision on probation for potential sleaziness with their employees, and I've been patiently waiting for the truth to come out in court.  Looks like I'll never get that opportunity, though... they finally settled.  Of course, the terms of the settlement are under wraps, so there's no hard evidence one way or the other as to how that worked out... but news reports have one of the lead developers involved "smiling broadly" on the way out of court, so it's a fair guess as to where the balance of the settlement, and thus the validity of the original lawsuit, lies.

Oh well, since Activision was unwilling to let the details air out in court, I just get to add them to the permanent "do not buy" list.  Pity... I might have enjoyed checking out Diablo 3, once their server issues got worked out.

You know, I used to think that, should I become (or otherwise turn out to be) immortal, that I might get bored... but humanity has this amazing ability to come up with new ideas.  Sometimes, those are awesome ideas, but other times it's things that should never be.  So, here's three words that should never have been conjoined, but are now a thing... human flesh capsules.
