It's sort of scary that these types of people are often the CEOs of companies (to me). you have to be a sociopath to sell your soul to satan for corporate profits | ||

Bobby Kotick is well known as someone who speaks directly to his investors and not to fans, obviously always telling them what they want to hear, usually to the fans' chagrin. He is definitely the "money guy" that just about every gamer hates, but I think the connections between him and Blizzard's decisions are overstated. Blizzard still has a lot of core gamers and veteran developers high up in their ranks, and their virtual autonomy allows them to push back on most of what Kotick tries to enforce upon them. That's not to say Blizzard isn't interested in money as well, they just know when to say when, unlike Kotick. Except when they offer bonuses even higher than their salary, money > fans. | ||

So is there anybody who still thinks that any change from KeSPA is a good one? I don't like the potential here of going from bad management (as KeSPA currently is -- they've done a lot for e-sports historically, but they are too controlling these days) to worse. | ||

Blizzard is Blizzard and doesn't need any help from other developers that will just fuck up their games  | ||
