Bobby Kotick, The 16th most influential man of 2010

[quote]There are few people in the gaming industry who divide critics more than Activision Blizzard head honcho Bobby Kotick. On one hand, shareholders love his ability to generate revenue and maximize profits, while on the other hand, hardcore gamers detest his perceived arrogance and utter disregard for originality. It hardly helps matters that Kotick doesn’t sugarcoat his statements to the press. This brash 47-year-old CEO has openly admitted he has no interest in producing games that don't have the potential to be exploited year after year on every platform imaginable -- even if it comes at the expense of smaller and more creatively appealing titles.[/quote]

How the fuck...?
That description is pretty much spot on.
Hitler was pretty influential too.

I'm just saying that calling someone influential doesn't necessarily mean they're liked or are a good person.
Protip. Influential doesn't mean good, and Hitler did get Times Person of the Year as did Stalin I think.
Kotick deserves being the most greediest man of the century

:godwin: on only the third post, nice work!
The only thing he influences is me needing to take a shit.
Bogus, that's all I can say.
Kotick is doing good short term, but he's in the process of raping and destroying all his franchises from overexposure. Long term I think there'll be a repercussion.
Fuck you news, hes not
All in favour of the assassination of Bobby Kotick say "aye."

Isn't there this 'The Biggest Douche in the Universe' contest somewhere?

Not seeing any good. All I see is the evil spreading from within him.
wtf?
rly?
"divide critics"?
I'm pretty sure the guy is universally hated by anyone who isn't a man in a suit, lugging around a suitcase full of cash.

no, we don't want to kill everyone that we dislike

Some one needs to brush up on their history.
Kotick is a businessman through and through. He behaves like someone who doesn't know shit about the gaming industry. But he's been in the industry for nearly 20 years. How can someone be surrounded by this shit for so long and still be so contrary to what the industry holds dear.

Hitler was fucking amazing, though, Bobby Kotick is just a stupid greedy cunt.
He's going too far.

Divide them how? Between wanting to punch him and wanting to kick him?
A swift kick to the nads would do him some good.

This reminds me of the E.T Atari fiasco, we all know how that went.
