The real reason why Activision dropped Ghostbusters...

Yeah, EQ and UO are still around, as is AC. And yeah, Activision/Blizzard runs a good business, but only for themselves. As for the market, they are going to destroy it. As it is, their success is creating a series of attempted clones that are failing time after time, and adding nothing new to the genre. The only good thing the company has going for it is that they have enough money to pour into a game to make it appear polished, and to market it properly. They don't care if they're adding something new.. as long as it makes them money.

I'd say that's pretty obvious by the article in the original post, too.
