Neversoft being acquired by Activision has been very beneficial.
They started out as the darlings of Activision, Making annual Tony Hawk games that sold a bajillion copies a year. IN that time, they also got to make a Spider Man game (which was successful enough it was given over to Treyarch to make into an annual itirative title), and Gun (which was not a huge financial success, but still allowed them to scratch that creative itch).
When the Tony Hawk franchise started to falter, Neversoft was then given the reigns to Guitar Hero, which for a time was a HUGE commercial success. And now that GH is canned, they are given the reigns to work on another Highly Touted franchise.
So Neversoft has made Activision a crapload of money, and Activision managed to keep Neversoft alive and thriving.
I would worry less about peoples opinions and worry more about how the fuck your gonna finish that sexy ass model you've been working on for the brawl challenge!
