A very quick Steam search does reveal that yes, they have published more than one game, so I apologize for my inability to report the seven other 99 cent iPhone apps on their page.

@mrmattimation No, that is ECC a legit Swedish Company.
there is ECC games which Digital Homicide made.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 00:49:37 UTC from web-
@metaltao Alright, Metal, here's the deal. You've sidetracked me. I was not talking about Digital Homicide because the only people who have heard of Digital Homicide are people who follow Jim Sterling and morons who buy random 99 cent apps off of Steam. I was talking about Infinity Ward and Treyarch and how they are two of the worst video game developers ON THE PLANET. The entire planet Earth. This planet we live on. If I wanted to talk about tiny indie developers who made bad games, I could go on about the guy who made Flappy Bird, or the company behind Slender: The Arrival, or literally anybody with access to a MacBook and an agreement with iTunes. There are millions upon millions of games worse than the Call of Duty franchise, but the difference is that those guys aren't AAA developers.

@mrmattimation Call of Duty does not harm any negative impact on the Gaming scene. it's community within is sick, and sticks within that community in the games.
Digital homicide is legitimately steal content and money from others through Fraud and Embezzlement.
Infinity Ward make the same game toward Ad Nauseam et Ad Infinitum.
They don't Cheat, Lie, or deny others money, games, or enjoyment. Millions of people enjoy Infinity ward and that is absolutely fine. CoD does not hurt them. It seems to only annoy you and that is your problem.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 00:58:31 UTC from web-
@metaltao Saying that Digital Homicide has a negative impact on "the gaming scene" is like saying that Carlos Mencia has a negative impact on other comedians. Sure, they steal 100% of their content, but really, are enough people taking them seriously to do any real harm? Could you REALLY look at Digital Homicide and say "this company could do some real damage to the industry"?

@mrmattimation Carlos Mencia is not stealing or abusing Intellectual property. Or DMCA Copy Right strikes.
I meant scene as in general, they are indeed a possible threat towards image and are an easy target when it comes to the argument that games are not art or for adults.
This is a fallse Dichotomy.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:09:48 UTC from web -

@metaltao Call of Duty in fact DOES harm the indusrty. It's a crappy game that makes lots of money and thus others emulate the system, making MORE crappy games.

@skellythos I would like to point you toward the Myth of the Gun on EC. The reason why First Person shooters are popular is not because of CoD alone, but because they started in America as well, but also the fact tat when we think of objective based game play, we use a gun for a symbol of the "Every man" it grants power and allows one to enact change through a common tool.

@metaltao Call of Duty did not popularize First Person Shooters. Call of Duty popularized Call of Duty, which means everybody has set out to make Call of Duty.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:07:32 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation They did Popularize them again as a revitalization. And, it is not their fault. Blame the industry for focusing on what sells and not what is most enjoyable. (Tho, it seems they have found their selves a nice and large niche)
And, no, not everyone. Where do we go from here? What can we possible add to make FPS any different?
It is going ot be hard to do that, and not many gaming publishers are willing to bet on change. Because, in their eyes, it rarely works.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:11:03 UTC from web

@metaltao No. There are a lot of good games with guns. They don't cause anything bad. It's not first person shooters, it's the CoD-style multiplayer shooters that are the issue.

@skellythos Also, again, Blizzard does that same thing with Warcraft.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:08:36 UTC from web-
@metaltao Warcraft was an amazing RTS. WoW was good and innovative at the time, even though it became awful over time and made me really disappointed in the company.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:11:54 UTC from web-
@skellythos I meant the WoW, my apologies, they hold a large power over the MMO market, and every game looks to be like them.
It is bound to happen. It is a psychological certainty from teh best sides of us to the worst.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:14:36 UTC from web-

@metaltao Well, on the other hand, WoW's system is starting to crumble. TESO tried to go for their subscription system and ended up being forced to change to an one time puchrase system.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:16:19 UTC from web-
@skellythos Yeah that's the thing, game devs all over the place are moving away from WoW's system, whereas game devs everywhere keep making Call of Duty.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:18:03 UTC from web -
@skellythos EC has a whole series of Videos on MMOs and both the outside politics of them with how much money people keep spending on and failing ot make WoW clones.
They never do as well as WoW and any others have failed to reach that same height.Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:20:14 UTC from web-
@metaltao Which is a good thing. If a bad product has a bad market, it benefits everyone. The big brand might make money with that bad product, but other smaller brands lose it. Like Apple. If anyone else tried to make overpriced console-like hardware and sell it, they'd lose a lot of money. We might not be able to get rid of the main brand, but at least it's limited to one at a time.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:23:25 UTC from web-
@skellythos I don't really know how to go from here. Can you elaborate?
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:26:02 UTC from web-
@metaltao If you come up with a bad thing and promote it well, OR make a good product that over time becomes horrible, you might have a huge market buying it solely because of it's history or brand, even if it's not actually good. Now, if anyone else tries to copy it, they lose money. So at least we don't have many successful bad copies, we only have one of each.

@skellythos I am trying to say something here but my mind is beign apple on me with anxiety.
I should never pick up arguements.

@skellythos The second half of that "OR" sums up the entire Sonic franchise

@northernnarwhal It sums up way too many things, sadly. Sometimes franchises should retire while they're still strong.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:41:09 UTC from web-
@skellythos I know a lot of bands I like have broken up because they believed they had accomplished everything they wanted to express artistically and have decided to move onto other projects on their own
-
@northernnarwhal Yeah, that's what happens when you do it because you like doing it. When you do it for a living though it becomes an impossibility
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:50:45 UTC from web-
@skellythos Yeah at that point you're forced to either reinvent yourself or retread old ground.

@metaltao I'm not defending Blizzard. You can't say you're a good person just because someone else commited the same crime as you.
Wednesday, 18-Nov-15 01:13:04 UTC from web-
@skellythos I am not. I realized I made an error there, a really wrong one as well. Attacking you it seems.

@mrmattimation I was comparing and sating that your hatred of Infinity Ward is understandable but the placement of it under your scale was absurdly wrong.
