[QUOTE=markg06;25699441]Yeah because Kotick announced he wants to kill everyone apart from pure aryans :downs:[/QUOTE]
That about sums it up yea.
[QUOTE=Savaril;25700112]"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.[/QUOTE]
No not really.
He's hated by edgy teenagers who dont want to see other people enjoying mainstream gaming. AKA the most irrelevant and bluntly pathetic group of people in the industry.
If he's so hated how come MW2 is one of the most sold games of all time? AND is the most anticipated game this decade?

He is influential...
Unfortunately he uses his influence to make our lives considerably shittier. Fuck him
Someone break his stupid ukulele
Guys this man is not a bad person he just treats his consumer base like cash cows but the problem is his attiuide. He gets the job donw but he is too harsh on everyone and in the long term companies will be nice to the consumer and try to keep a little bit of communication open. On the other side sometimes the customer base can be very nasty as well so it works both ways.
[QUOTE=Squeaken;25699463]Protip. Influential doesn't mean good, and Hitler did get Times Person of the Year as did Stalin I think.[/QUOTE]
So did moot
The problem is these games don't last long anymore in the market.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;25709196]So did moot[/QUOTE]
Moot cheated.

Fuck him hes a retard who can be compared to the dirt under my shoes.
(i live on the street)
[QUOTE=Warhol;25714686]Moot cheated.[/QUOTE]
Not exactly, since it was done without his order or consent. Knowing the community, if he HAD ordered something, they'd nominated someone else.
Just pointing out how flawed these polls are.
[QUOTE=The golden;25701516]Want to do something about Kotick? [B]STOP BUYING HIS FUCKING GAMES[/B].[/QUOTE]
I can't agree with you more on this. That's why despite being interested in Starcraft II and Diabloe III (when it comes out), I won't be purchasing either of them.
I do like the reasons why though because they did say that hardcore gamers hated Kotick, and most of Facepunch's gaming community is full of hardcore gamers, soooooooooo....
Evil people always find their way to the top, fucking hate bobby kotick.
Greedy idiot, all he cares about is the money, doesn't give a shit if the gamers get a fucking crap deal.
Scum like him don't deserve to grace the gaming community.

Black op's looks so good though!!!
lay off him
[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;25721169]lay off him[/QUOTE]
[quote] 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[/quote]
This makes me sick, it's the complete opposite to valve in almost every aspect.
i can read thanks though
So you actually like this guy?
why does it matter
Don't get me wrong, I would still love to take a golf club to Kotick's baby sack, but Jimbo has a point. People won't stop buying his games, and hell, I'm buying Black Ops, so I suppose I'm not any better. Just don't give a fuck about Kotick.
Well, you're kind of defending him.

The games are good, there's no doubt, it's just his obvious disregard for everything I love about games that I find so threatening.
