Sadly, I think this is the wrong thing to do. The reason Kotick even makes these comments is for the sake of the shareholders. Kotick is a business man, and anything he does is in the name of money. It's that kind of leadership that shareholders want to see. The problem is that the average consumer is not a shareholder. The average consumer needs to see that games aren't being made for them, but for the shareholders. The more you expose Kotick's shareholder's cocksucking, the more it will be clear to everyone that you should not buy his games until he starts making them for the consumer again.Samus Aaron said:

Bobby Kotick is either a massive troll or a media genius with people talking about him and his company all the time.
Hes been in charge of activision since 1991 but seriously barely heard of him before but now since they were bought out it's like he can't shut up.

How can someone be known by the amount of BS coming out of his mouth? If I had this question I would ask this guy. Bungie is an Indie developper? Also, when did the Great Wall Of China collapse?
Also, Bobby, I got MW2 for free from a buddy of mine and I still haven't bought the maps. Go suck on someone else's tits, why don't you? You made a deal with a developper that, let's not kid ourselves, KNOWS HIS STUFF. Why are you trying to ruin it for everybody? And even though Bungie is Bungie, there are games that can piss all over Halo. If you had played anything over the course of the past 3 years, you would know that. But you don't so I keep asking myself, how the hell did someone with no knowledge, except probably marketing-wise, on games, get the CEO seat at friggin Activision?

[sup]Not really a spoiler, just a big picture up there[/sup]
Awesome photos aside,

Kotick is truly pathetic.

I give it a few months before Bungie goes running back to microsoft after the mean man has his way with them.
Seriously developers are like little children and Kotick and Activision are the creepy old man with an ice cream van, stay away from the van! Its not worth it!

Microsoft was in charge of pricing, not Bungie.BaldursBananaSoap said:
OT: Wow thats just... I don't even know. I mean yeah, I love Bungie, but that statement is straight up, pure bullshit. The second part about how only Activision has the resources could be plausible depending on the size of the project, but the first part is just wrong.
I just don't know what else to say that hasn't been said already...
Oh, and OP: Sucker Punch isn't independent, they're owned by Sony.
Normally, I understand Bobbys statements. They are devoid of life and expression of anything except profit margin. But as long as he is in his office mumbling about synergising our assets or some shit, while the developers do there thing, whatever. Occasionally, he bones his consumers, and acts downright happy about it. But sadly, such is the world of business.
But now, hes just blatantly being an asshole to people? I mean seriously, most people these days understand that looking like a dick does not help sales. Smiling in their face while you stab them in the back at least lets you act surprised when there stabbed. But just stabbing them in the face means that everyone, out of hate, starts catching on that all the companies that your dissing make better games then you AH CRAP...
Just when I feel like Ive fully cultivated a "Whatever floats your boat" attitude towards Halo, Kotick comes along and forces me to hate it again. Do you see what you did Kotick? Your mere existence is making me dumber!

I think Bungie should feel more insulted than any of the developers Kotick just dissed. I'd be so embarrassed if that man were to give me a compliment for anything
