Looks like Bobby is on his way out the door.
Employees are demanding his resignation, via the “Wallstreet Journal”.
Don’t expect much from the team at Blizz, as the next wave of company changes seems to be ahead.

Starting to think they rushed this turkey out the door before it was ready because they needed lawyer money in a hurry.

Whatever the outcome turns out to be, I’m hoping those affected are appropriately compensated and the perpetrators are brought to justice.
If Kotick is out, hopefully whoever replaces him is more level headed and not constantly squeezing every inch of the company to rake in as many bonuses as they can.
The arm of the law is long. Do the crime, you do the time. Justice will be served.

Absolutely.
I may be an ***, but I think that no stone should be unturned, and accounted for when it comes to justice.
“In another similarly themed recounting, Kotick was accused of harassment directly after the CEO left a threatening voicemail for one of his assistants, in which he purportedly threatened to have her killed” holy cow lmao
For the company overall I think having Kotick out the door would be great for Activision and Blizzard
“We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games.”
“I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression.”
“really rewards profit and nothing else.” (Concerning Kotick’s incentive program for Activision employees)

Power corrupts, distorts, and alters a person in such a disgusting way.
None can wield the ring.
That guy should not be allowed near humans.

I’ve been wanting Booby K’s removal for a decade.
He is a pompous jack*** that is about to get his due.
Next time he goes to Vegas as another fatcat he will have additional thought’s on his mind.
would be nice but they won’t be on either side of that equation. It happens far too often in many industries but software is one of the worst.
he took it a little too far and was very sorry he did that, it could happen to anyone…
Maybe, but in the context of everything else I’ve seen about this guy I think this comment gets it right:

“The arm of the law is long. Do the crime, you do the time. Justice will be served.”
Lol tell that to the bankers that caused the 2008 crash due to bogus securities and never served a day in prison. Tell that to the people that lied to get us into Iraq in 2003. It recently came out that the U.S. military may have engaged in war crimes in Syria killing 80 civilians and then the leadership tried to bury it. “Justice will be served.” Kotick is worth more money than you could make in a 1,000 lifetimes. What fantasy world do you live in? This isn’t Disney Marvel super heroes.
Exactly and he took lessons from his master before he “died”….
This dude isn’t going anywhere… He is quoted as claiming to “destroy” people who crossed him many times before…
So maybe better days ahead then?
