I'll bet anything Kotick is a giant kiss-ass to anyone working at Blizzard. They're Kotick's cash cow alongside Call of Duty. He might be an evil, despicable little man, but he isn't an idiot. He wouldn't dare offend anyone at Blizzard.

No, my boss who can fire me is not a total douchebag, I don't know why people think that.

Also there's NO way I'm not being forced to say this, that would be silly and totally honest untrue.

I was under the impression that everyone disliked him because he is the head of dickwad publisher people fuckin' hate. My bad, I guess he is a douche, which makes Activision even bigger cunts.

But just look at that face. It automatically makes me want to punch him and I do not even know what has he done wrong!

Kotick may be a soul-less prick, but he isn't stupid, Morhaime. Why don't you take a gander at your studio's name outside your office and realize that looking at what you represent in any bad way would result in the most brainless action done this side of Tony Hayward's inept handling of BP's oil spill.

View it from all perspectives, next time, not just from your cushy position at Blizzard. We have more than our own testimonies to know that Kotick is a jerk.

You know - just when I was starting to forget that rat fink ever existed, this guy had to bring him back up. The nerve.

If Morhaime can give me anything that Kotick has been good for, besides stockholders, then let me have it. I'd really like to know, be proven wrong, and gain SOME respect for this insect.
Someone writing a "How NOT to do Your PR" book. He'd be perfect!

As Morhaime says, Blizzard has an enormous amount of autonomy, and thanks to the revenue that World of Warcraft generates, it's quite likely that Kotick needs Blizzard a lot more than Blizzard needs Kotick.
And there you have it.

Clearly you are nice to the people that pay you bills. Or financially save your ass.

Sorry blizzard as much as I may love you, your not paying attention to the bigger picture.

also captchas suck

I couldn't help but to imagine the Blizz guy talking like Gollum. Blizzard is Kotick's precious.

Why did Blizzard even suported this merger in the first place? The sheer amount of money they generate rivals couple of the biggest names in the industry together X_X
What was to be gained by Blizz in this deal?

He's just a bad CEO. (Obligatory Shamus News Article here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/8169-Experienced-Points-Age-of-Kotick])

Seriously, if this guy is so nice, and he may very well be, and everything he's ever said is "taken out of context" or whatever, it doesn't change the fact that he still garners the rage of many, many gamers out there. Taken out of context or not, a good CEO shouldn't be making this much noise.

I don't know what he's like in person, so I cannot comment on that. But I've seen a bunch of people go "Oh, man, dude, he's like, a totally cool guy!" and try to brush off the rage by saying "It's taken out of context, man!"

Really, if he was a good CEO, he wouldn't need this many defenders.

Kotick, dude, I want to like you, I really do. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut, and keep your business tactics legit.

If I had a friend who fought with me when i was surrounded by 6 burly meat-heads but liked to kick crutches out from people's arms. I don't think people would give a shit as to what i would say about him.
Kotick is a plague. He got fucking lucky and thinks he's the top shit. Like fucking Kim Jong(Eel?)

Maybe Blizzard won't be so quick to back Bobby up when call of duty falls through and there are employees ready with torches and boiling tar.

Here's the thing, this is a company, no one gives a damn if you are a nice guy personally, we care about the public image displayed, as that's what we deal with as a mass.

Firstly, any respect I had for Blizzard has taken quite a blow with this comment. Secondly, no one gives a shit what his private life is like, we're pissed about how he runs business. Thirdly, Blizzard is fucking part of Activision, what do you think they're going to do? Condemn them? Of course not.

This, a thousand times, this.

P.S. Inglip is trying to give an aneurism, stupid accents and special characters...

I just realized that Bobby Kotick is an evil twin of Gabe Newell.
Gabe Newell is "good"?

Then how do you explain his stealing my money [http://scarsofwargame.com/DevBlog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Gabe1.jpg] with all of their low, low prices and insane sales?

Damn you, Newell, and your dastardly sales. Damn you!
