At the risk of roaring into the storm, I think this particular comment falls more under the heading of "stupidity" than "malevolence". If Kotick had really thought about how this comment might be interpreted, I don't think he would have said it, at least, not this way. Seriously, what CEO would intentionally say something that would make nearly every person with experience in the games industry say, "Oh, well I guess I'd better not shop my resume to Activision, then, since it appears my (x number) years at (y company) doesn't constitute working for a "high quality company" in your eyes, you (vulgar epithet)!"
In comparison: when Kotick made his delightfully toxic statements about Activision's desire to "exploit" licenses, I think he was genuinely letting show some parts of his mind that more pleasant and tactful people would keep carefully hidden. And he essentially backed up diabolical word with infernal deed when he put Brutal Legend, Ghostbusters, and other half-finished games out to pasture.
But this? This is just someone with a record of saying unfortunate things praising Bungie in possibly the most foolish, foot-in-mouth way possible. I don't think he actually thinks every other independent developer is worthless; I think he just didn't think.

There should be a new forum included, featuring exclusively threads for Bobby Kotick related topics.
He's not wrong about Bungie being a good development team, I can simply say that, but just like every other occasion he's been in, he does not know how to keep his big trap shut.
I wander how long it will take for activation to start capping all the good ideas and demanding stupid ones like they have done in the past, or start doing there own thing.
Bobby Kotick, he's the C.E.O and "owner" (I say it in quotations because anyone with his IQ should NOT be running a company) of Activision, and subsequently, Blizzard.The Jakeinator said:
Now this does NOT mean that he's a good man. Powerful in the gaming world? Aye. However he's an egotistical cock munch known for saying ALL the wrong things and ego boosting himself about 50 times a second.
This guy practically gave birth to what has grown into 4Kids Entertainment, and some people are still surprised that this guy is a complete and utter idiot and/or troll?
