It's well past time for Activision to join the rest of the major game publishers and stop its cynical practice of publishing low-effort movie and TV tie-in games that prey on unsuspecting and uninformed gamers.
Hell hath no fury like a fan scorned, and by routinely publishing bad low-budget games based on beloved movie and TV franchises with enthusiastic fanbases, Activision has earned a lot of it. So far in 2016 alone, it has published the terrible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan (review score: 4.8) and last week's generic and dull Ghostbusters game (review score: 4.4). Conspicuously, in both cases review copies weren't sent out until the day of release. That's something that could happen for innocent reasons, so it proves nothing – but if I were about to release a game I knew was bad and wanted to conceal that fact from gamers until after many people had already bought it, that's how I'd do it.
