He HAS to be trying to be hated by this point.
If there's one attitude that's perfect for the CEO of one of the largest publishers in the business, it's hands-down this one.
I kinda get a kick out of this guy. He's becoming like a bad guy in WWE or something. I don't like him, but he does amuse me.

at some point his son will turn on him and recruit the formerly good bodyguard to betray him and beat him with an iron bar while handcuffed.
hopefully...
He cracks me up.
I'm no business major, but that seems like a colossally inept way to run a creative business.
Games are not Model T's.
Moar liek KoPRICK, amirite?
First dips into the "How long before Kotick gets booted out of Activision" pot, people!

In his defense, his investors probably don't know anything about gaming or pleasing consumers.
If taking the fun out of games means they make more money, then they're all for it.

Why are people giving this guy way more attention than he deserves?

Or "How long until the collective legs of the entire modern gaming generation and Activision employees lodge their legs so far up his ass that the entire population of Zimbabwe has to be recruited to excavate them".

Heh, he's been running the company since 1991, so I wouldn't count on that happening too soon...

Because unlike certain brainless thompsons... er.. I mean trolls who spout bullshit for attention, this twat is actually relevant to the industry
Well, he's only relevant to Activision to be precise.
Kotick lives off anger from gamers the same way I live off cupcakes.

true but activision is one of the biggest players out there. and if the dude succeeds other companies may follow
see the relevance to whole industry? :)
