What’s wrong with it?
Sure there are more successful companies that have less sexual harassment and are hated less but this guy hates video games.
You should cover the Address Sticker before posting.
What distopian timeline is this from?
Lol “hates playing videogames”.
When did Bill Cosby get so white?
Wow so thats why almost all Activisions games suck these days. I really hope Microsoft gets rid of this sleezy piece of trash.
It’s a business magazine?
By buying the idea from another company and then running it into the ground in a few short years by oversaturating the market with numerous shitty cash grab releases (Guitar Hero)?
Lame
By acquiring studios and IPs, and then running them into the ground? Activision screwed up the Guitar Hero IP once they got ahold of it. Imagine if Harmonix continued to work on the Guitar Hero series so the genre wasn’t split between Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Fun fact: Bobby Kotick plays the Atheletics owner in the film Moneyball.
A couple of years ago I had read that Kotick had trouble finding dates because of his online reputation. I really, really, really hope that his dating life is worse now and that when he’s out he will be gone forever.
That explains a lot. He hates games but loves money, you can see that exact concept in every one of activision-blizzard’s games nowadays.
Not surprising he hates video games. He has always treated his customers like it.
Fuck Forbes
This is 100% accurate. ☺️
To be fair it’s not really a magazine aimed at gamers, so not that shocking.
I miss Guitar Hero. Had so much Fun!
**Alternative Title**: *How a guy who hate playing video games built a video game company everyone hates.*
That explains a lot
im counting the days till his contract is over and i dont have to hear about him ever again
Fuck that guy and everything he touches. He’s scum.
He looks like Al Gore
Even back then, Kotick still looks like a troll doll.
Did thry badly photoshop the guitar controller onto his photo?
Bought out in the end by a CEO who loves playing videogames and knows how to create a healthy, consumer first culture
You can say anything about Bobby Kotick questionable ethics and shitty practices but the guy knows how to make a profit and run a video game company.
And look where Bobby Kotick’s at now
lol what a load of crap
the gawddamn devil!!!
He’s on limited time why care, your giving fame to. Someone who’s already rich and deserves to be forgotten and left on an island to try and survive without the cash. God I’d love to watch a surprise billionaire survival Series
I mean, in ‘09, I think this was probably pretty accurate.
Hero huh? C’mon the guy already has everything else he wanted and got away with a lot of things too, could his legacy at least be shit?
Fun fact! Bobby Kotick is a fucker and Forbes is garbage.
With all the smearing he’s really trying to fix his reputation now huh? Sorry too little too late
**Squints eyes**…..2009?
Fuck this evil lizard.
So happy to see the back of this prick now that MS bought Activision
Forbes more like orbees
Lol you all expecting Forbes to be about morality? It’s about business. This is not about morals boys, it’s about money. And it’s old as hell.
r/mildlyinfuriating
Ahhh Guitar Hero. Perfect example of Activision business strategy. Find something the consumer likes and exploit it to over saturation until consumer hates it. Then drop it and look for the next hot fad to kill.
it’s all a job and money and the band lightning bolt is not for everybody. but the bassist in lightning bolt worked for harmonix. i always thought that was cool.
Can we talk about the Great College Con headline in the upper right?
Guitar Villain
From which year?
that is the face of one smug bollocks. not even a mother could love that 🙂
….and?
“built”
Bobby
