It’s been announced. How do you think this will effect the health of the game?
You dont really kick your ceo during a transition so i wasnt surprised. It will change nothing for now.
None. Bobby just moves money around, I bet he’s only vaguely aware that his company makes video games.
we may get an Epstein island raid.
Staying for another year. The Microsoft deal goes through next June.
this isn’t funny…but it is. what is wrong with me.
It won’t change the current state which is bad, most hoped him going away would mean the game would improve.
So I guess him not leaving just means blizzard never learns.
During the lawsuit blizz promised change m, they said Bobby would be leaving and there was going to be a co lead with a women of color.
Instead we got Bobby staying and another white male in lead. So I’d say this whole fiasco was for nothing. Nothing changed because of the lawsuit.
fist pump followed by a hip thrust
So I’m confused by all of this outrage.
He’s staying until 2023.
The merger doesn’t go through until 2023.
After that, it’s up in the air.
Did people honestly expect him to not be here until the merger goes through?
it changes nothing, even if he left, it would change nothing for the game.
As a surprise to nobody.
They probably will keep Ion and the rest too. I don’t think Microsoft cares if’s a good game or not, as long as it makes money.
Bobby Kotick will be 60 years old and fabulously wealthy whenever the Microsoft deal finalizes. My guess is, whenever his position becomes, shall we say, untenable, he will simply retire to his yacht and live like a king for the rest of his life.
He’s probably going to be around after the merger too, Microsoft also likes money and shady shenanigans.
Lol @ people thinking Microsoft will come in and save the day.
It’s not going to impact anything because he’s not making decisions about the game on that level.
Follow the money.
Because none of us would be surprised to find out Bobby the Yacht does stuff like that?
he’s been with the company for many years and i wish him the best for many more.
