The WSJ article has some wild shit in it.

In 2006, one of his assistants complained that he had harassed her, including by threatening in a voice mail to have her killed, according to people familiar with the matter. He settled the matter out of court, the people said.


Do you see this? He threatened to have a woman killed. He didn't even fucking deny it, lol.

The Activision spokeswoman said: "Mr. Kotick quickly apologized 16 years ago for the obviously hyperbolic and inappropriate voice mail, and he deeply regrets the exaggeration and tone in his voice mail to this day."


He definitely doesnt regret shit given the most prominent sexual harassment case he was involved in had Kotick telling a flight attendant, "I'm going to destroy you."

Is this finally enough to oust Bobby Fucking Kotick?

For the stock to fall, probably, below 40 dollars.

I wouldnt be surprised if it gets there if the SEC drops the hammer.

Im not really expecting anything though, board stands behind the scumbag and, as ever, rich people can do whatever they want without consequence. Even mild consequence.

Maybe his threats to have people killed have extended to board members as well. Can't see how or why they would continue to back him in this situation.

That is a big, heavy fuck you to the employees.

Talent spirals go both ways, and Blizzard's is going south.

Yeah, ActiBlizz is full of fuck-yous.

I mean, fucks sake when they appointed Jen O'Neal and Mike Ybarra as co-heads of Blizzard, they literally paid Jen O'Neal less. In a transparent attempt by ActiBlizz to attempt to make it look like women were treated equally at Blizzard they literally paid her less than her male counterpart.

You cannot make up the comically fucked up idiocy that ActiBlizz is up to.

Ooo this is very bad for the company. The board is willing to lose the “good employees”. And it won’t stop there. Also this Kotick news(about threatening someone’s life) is shocking to me. Fuck that scumbag.

I was primed to buy some ATVI. But not so much anymore. Maybe if it drops to sub-10.

I used to think gamers went a bit OTT on Kotick, more a ruthless businessman than the devil incarnate.

But no apparently he is an abominable human being in more than one domain.

I’m really excited to read Jimmy’s next interjection in this thread if nothing else

Seeing this come out about Bobby is utterly unsurprising. Not only did I feel like something had to be off if he was overseeing Blizzard while they were carrying out their bullshit, but just... how many people act like Bobby and aren't ultra rich pricks that do whatever they want? The whole air about him reeks.

I hope Activision and Blizzard continue to burn for as long as they proffer kindling.

I'm just here to jump on the same bandwagon as the rest of the hashtag heroes in this thread.

I'd like to jump on this trending subject, spit out a cliché that shows I am on the right side of the issue on social media, feel proud, and proclaim myself a hero but accomplish nothing.

Thankfully due to cancel culture I can safely ignore the collateral damage—context, reason, due process, and nuance.

Phew. That was a lot of work! Now that I've satisfied my dopamine-driven desire for social validation on my favorite virtual soapbox for virtue-signaling, it's time to get back to binge-watching Netflix.

The fuck are you talking about?

Good for you you can be snarkily cynical over the dreaded ‘cancel culture’ in a thread where people have, largely actually weighted the evidence to hand.

Interesting how you simultaneously can look into the souls of critical people and ascertain it’s all for social brownie points, but if it comes to Kotick’s ActiBlizz, well context, nuance etc are all needed.

Just a staggeringly ridiculous post.

Bother this nonsense.
Bobb's gotta fall like a whale.
Good luck to whalers.
