Activision Holding Half-Million Dollar Indie Competition, Details Scarce

bobby-kotick-money-bagsActivision CEO Bobby Kotick announced earlier today at the DICE summit that his company plans on sponsoring an independent games competition.

What this all entails?

Absolutely unclear, save the fact that there will be a whopping $500,000 involved. Not a lot of money for the giant that is Activision-Blizzard,  but that’s big bucks for the indie scene to be sure.

No more details have been given, as Kotick’s announcement itself seemed to be a bit impromptu. We’ll contact Activision to see if we can get a little more info…right after we hopefully develop a $100k-winning indie game.
