It's like Microsoft and Activision are competing to see who can piss the most people off...

so, because Bungie made an ok (not good or bad, just "meh".) FPS, they are the only good indie developer? I seem to remember that InFAMOUS was pretty good. so was L4D 1 and 2. This guy is an obvious prick and shall not be mourned on his passing into videogame hell. I mean really, selling rehashed in-game cutscenes as MOVIES?!? Dumbass.

Bungie... Bungie...., i seem to recall a vaguely skilled developer by that name...., but all the've done in the last 10 years is re-release the same game haven't they? the franchise has been milked so much by this point its time to let it die really.

Kotick you're not talented, the people working for you are, give them some freedom to make something new, then people might think Activision-blizzard has returned from the Abyss of eternal remakes and mediocre attempts at passable games

Okay, the stupidity of Kotick's claims hurts almost as much as Spike Games' reasoning for why Deadliest Warrior The Game sucks compared even to games like Bushido Blade.

Bungie? You mean those guys who've made the same game over and over for the past 10 years? (Except Halo Wars of course).
They didn't even make that, Ensemble Studios did...

*aah* Gotta love Bigger than Cheeses

We all know that there's only one way to kill Bobby Kotick, go up to him and say "I don't believe in Koticks"

Just hope that someone doesn't start clapping with money in their hands...

You guys are misinterpreting Kotic's praising the dollar leverage his own company has over microsoft in terms of the video game department as a rip on independent developers.

He's talking about these AAA titles that all those companies you rattled off aren't even trying to make.


Don't read between the lines- Kotic isn't smart enough to talk like that.

Seeing as he insulted Valve, his opinions and viewpoints from this point on are invalid.

Nothing more to see here.

Kotick is now as fake as Simon Cowell.

He's just there to be hated. I doubt he even does anything other than watch Seto Kaiba videos.
Even Seto "patted the dog" occasionally. However to be fair I think this and most of his other highly offensive speeches were given at conferences for corporate people where it is important for his company that he say they are the best and basically go into detail about how his companies' is so much more awesome than other companies, you know in case someone remembers that acti makes makes all of its money on its acquisitions and not one new IP.

Bungie are great developers but there are still other just as good as them.

Valve
Bioware, the list goes on and on, (There are plenty who are as good as them)

Bobby, I agree with half the statement, but your still a douche bag.

"Meanwhile, Kotick has expressed a wish to sell repackaged in-game cutscenes to gamers as $30 movies."

Wait. Hold on. Someone. Please. Explain. HOW he thinks this will actually work.
Ahh yes, see this is what really struck me about the article. This must be the work of a Troll.

Well, Mr. Kotick is continuing his steady descent into batshit lunacy right on schedule. It's kind of comforting, really. The sun rises, the Trix rabbit must suffer, and Bobby Kotick is an utter loon.

Either that man is the biggest loser on the planet...

Or he is simply the biggest troll.
What's the difference?

OP: I can't believe people even support him. Bungie aren't exactly the best developers out there, so where is this guy looking?
Sure fanboys and girls throw fits of joy when Bungie announce that they've re-released halo, this time with a prettier shade of green in the background but what about standards of games themselves?
