Microsoft must have a policy of no stealing breast milk, poor guy lost his job to that (fr tho, he will get a really nice bonus and will never ‘pay’ for the terrible work environment he created)

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.

Remember when kotick threatened to kill an assistant, and then they were fired and paid to not talk about it?

This fucking goblin enabled systemic rape in his organization. He deserves prison.

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.

It would be ruined if people didn’t buy the stuff, but they do, so it’s a success.

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.

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.

So many CEOs stepping down now

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?
