From MassivelyOP.

Incidentally, Bobby Kotick will score an extra $200M in payouts thanks to the Shareholder Value Creation Incentive loophole in his contract.

In case anyone is curious, that works out to be $1,052,631.57 per employee fired in the recent round.

Just thought that was an interest statistic.

Capitalism happened in an American company! SHOCKS…

Do I think he deserves it? Meh… But come on, how are you shocked by the rich getting richer? Also, the laid off employees were from the esports section which, let’s be real hasn’t been happening for a while with you know that whole pandemic thing that is going on.

Well, they are making record profits from tokens being funneled to the people blockading 1400 RBGs with duelist gear and the io KSMs sitting in party finder for hours denying people without io score. Bobby deserves it for these innovative profit schemes.

I’m sure most of those money actually comes from COD or Activision’s product, not small game like WOW.
