Activision Blizzard Donates $1 Million to Vets on Modern Warfare 2 Launch

November 09, 2009 in News comments 7

Activision Blizzard plans for a $1 million donation to help vets transition from their military leave to civilian careers. CEO Bobby Kotick has stated, “The joblessness rate that [veterans] should have should be far less than the national average, not more. How do you expect people to actually join the military if when they leave the military they can’t integrate back into the free market they’re supposed to be protecting?”

    Trying to buy a better reputation, eh? Oh well, at least the vets got something out of it.

    $1 million when Modern Warfare 2 will probably earn them the best part of $1 billion this week alone.

      Exactly. A drop in the ocean compared to the profits that will be made.

    While I can't imagine Activision Blizzard had only the purest of intentions with this, at least the Veterans are getting something. They've more than earned it.
