Nope all this dough was spent on one video game

Modern Warfare 2 generated $550 million during its first five days on the market, a figure that sets a new entertainment record for the period.

Why do you think it is a crappy game?

I don't know a lot about that game.

The first one (CoD 4) is supposed to be really good. Maybe I check out this one, too - a friend of mine got it a few days ago.

I prefer indie games. Like Dwarf Fortress.

Every mainstream game I've tried has been crap, they don't put their heart and soul into the game and do it only for the money.
