CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are “very excited.”::Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are “very excited.”
This 1 fucking guy ruined a whole generation of gaming with his greedy dumb fuck business ideas.
To be fair he probably didn’t come up with any ideas. Just approved the worst ones that were presented to him.
Dude has ruined multiple generations
It would be ruined if people didn’t buy the stuff, but they do, so it’s a success.

Hope he burn in hell. He’s the best example of how not to run a company. It’s insane that he’s not been let go for years now.
That entirely depends on your expectations of a company CEO

I can’t think of a company that wouldn’t hire someone with this kind of stock performance over 30 years.
The issue is really that consumers just keep spending money on things that they hate.
If they didnt do that, Bobby would have been gone a long long time ago
I think you’re right. I’m pointing moee to his leadership and how he has allowed sexism and other bad behavior to go on without any consequences. He even told an assistant that he would have her killed… https://www.pcgamer.com/more-shocking-activision-blizzard-revelations-bobby-kotick-once-told-an-assistant-he-was-going-to-have-her-killed/
He might earn himself and the stockholders a lot of money… But in my eyes he’s a great example of why I don’t like capitalism, but that is another discussion tho!
He’s obviously a terrible human being, I think you have to be to be a wildly successful CEO.
But those are the people who are best at running companies. I wouldn’t be good at it, because I’m not a piece of shit
That’s what sucks about capitalism. We’re allowing thhattype of trash to run it.
Wow I’m very anti capitalist today!

Most consumers just don’t care or don’t know at all who Bobby Kotick is. Call of Duty is so popular, but the people that follow the market or the game industry well enough to know the people behind games aren’t that many.
This fucking goblin enabled systemic rape in his organization. He deserves prison.
Which ring of hell is he planning on spending his retirement within?
Edit: Also, give me an example of another human being that looks more like a testicle with eyeballs.
Limp dick Kotick should have been fired long ago.
He looks like Bilbo Baggins in the scene where he’s overcome with desire for the ring and tries to take it from Frodo.
He looks like the the love child of Bilbo Baggins and Elon Musk.
Awesome. Also ewwwww.
And yet I would still rather hang out with fiend bilbo
Blizzard will stay the rotten corpse of something great it is right now
They drag the corpses of their games along for money real good. Sometimes I think about the amount of people still paying a wow subscription and just sigh.
Such a punchable face. Damn
the shareholders will identify a suitable replacement my dudes, no need to cheer up over this

That’ll teach 'em
What a piece of shit
We’ve replaced Kotick with Microsoft lol
Remember when kotick threatened to kill an assistant, and then they were fired and paid to not talk about it?
employees are “very excited.”

Vote me as a CEO I will
- bring back original maps from several CoD titles, make more, compact 3-4 row maps.
- remove skins from the game and replace buyable weapon skins with unlocks
- create 4-5 paid dlc with good content.
- revert matchmaking to OLD days…. No SBBM
- Actually invest in an working Anti-Cheat
- Reduce the amount of „Celebrities“ in-Game and Trailer
- continuing zombie lore
- console crossplay no pc
Sounds good but that is the job of the development lead, the CEO is there to make sure the money keeps flowing. These things cost money and with the removal of skins less profit.
So what would your strategies be to bring more money on the table for Activision blizzard?
