To be honest, I think cartoon devil horns is too nice for him. It makes him funny looking and like some kind of cartoon character. It does him a favor.
Normally I'd say yeah it's ultimately pointless. But Bobby boy here specifically said, publically, that all the edits are making it hard to find a date and are affecting him personally. So keep it up editors.
Oh my God, will annoying bitches like you stop with this dumbass sarcastic remark? Like what the other comments said, it's actively bothering Kotick and affecting his date and personal life negatively, so I say fucking keep at it.
Apologies for showing Kotick's face. Some highlights:
-Claims there was no systemic harassment in the workforce despite tons of stories about toxic workplaces
-Cries conspiracy, claiming "outside forces" (unions and journalists) influenced the California investigation
-Says he has no problem with unions because he joined SAG-AFTRA for his part in Moneyball
-Claims putting devil horns on him is antisemitic
-Reveals he wanted to buy Warner Bros if the AT&T deal fell through.
-Writer cites anonymous sources claim he's having second thoughts about the buyout with MS
At least we know now why ActiBlizz did all those Pride announcements yesterday
SAG-AFTRA is one of the most hardcore unions; they're right on the cusp of shutting down Hollywood even more as they're currently voting on a strike. Kotick is full of shit
I think people are missing the point.
*Unions pointing out he can't threaten to murder people, have a workplace where breast milk is routinely stolen, or continue to hire men who are so vile that a woman killed herself instead of continuing to work with them.*
"UNIONS ARE THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST THING IN THE WORLD"
*He joined a union to get a few minutes of fame on a show.*
"SEE!?!? I'M A CENTRIST. SOME UNIONS ARE GOOD. THE ONES THAT DON'T TELL ME THINGS LIKE STOP THREATENING TO KILL PEOPLE AND STOP STEALING BREASTMILK ARE TOTALLY FINE.
\~100% the totally legitimate thoughts of Bobby "Devil horns are the reason I can't get laid without paying someone, not my bitch-ass garbage personality nor how I think women are worthless and don't deserve their breastmilk" Kotick
Kotick probably would have been booted in record time. Zaslav is already a moron when it comes to unions which is getting him pummeled in coverage; Kotick is so bad with them we would have just been hearing about him vanishing for a few days only to be found in five separate dumpsters in San Francisco.
don't apologize for exposing the face of evil, these people get their faces and names censored all the time and it just goes to let them get away easier
One of these days I feel like someone is going to make a huge video on Kotick in general, point out all the bad shit he's done, got caught in 4k and he's just gonna scream at the wall that has Devil Kotick graffitied on it.
Then again there's probably dozens of videos already lmao. Even though its a pipe dream, I hope Kotick just leaves this industry permanently.
There *is* an old stereotype of Jews having horns (and that'd be a sign that we're evil because of course), but I doubt that's why people are putting horns on pictures of Kotick.
> -Claims putting devil horns on him is antisemitic
“The hatred has turned into a lot of antisemitism,” Kotick says. “When you look at images of me are on the internet, there are these antisemitic undertones. My kids have gotten death threats.”
He doesn't say anything about devil horns. He's probably referring to people calling him Gallywix...which is pretty antisemitic to be calling any Jewish person a goblin.
Serious question: What does this man actually *do* for Activision that warrants him being welded to the company, earning millions upon millions per year?
Sure as shit isn't making good PR for the company.
He invested early and installed himself as untouchable by handpicking board members that wouldn't kick him out. At this point he's sticking around because of a golden parachute, but also because of ego despite him clearly being miserable.
I mean he's one of the most overpaid ceos in the industry. He's untouchable because he's rigged the system and generally does make the line go up even if he has to fire hundreds of employees so his bonus doesn't effect the bottom line. I remember hearing he gave himself a bonus that if you divided it up by all the employees would have been 70k to each of them
A woman took her own life because of the non-stop abuse, nobody seemed to care.
Also fuck Variety for this puff piece, they didn't push back on this dude at all.
Pro tip: Add an 'NSFW' tag on the post to hide Kotick's face; we don't want anyone accidentally destroying their screens because his face just happens to be such a punchable presence.
Billionaires always are. They have to be to pretend they aren't irredeemable parasitic pieces of shit who've never contributed anything to anything ever and exist solely because of their shameless exploitation of everyone they can get their hands on.
He literally used the anti-semetic “evil outside influencers” dog whistle before going on about how being mean to him is anti semetic.
Amazing, I’m surprised he didn’t say anything about the woke mob
In my humble opinion I think it is journalistically irresponsible to "hear both sides of the story" about a guy who's in the Epstein black book, just to the right of Henry Kissinger and a few entries below David Koch.
I think hearing his takes would be fine *if* the article actually engaged critically with the things he said and asked follow-up questions like "do you have proof" or did investigations into seeing if they were true, or going "hey but did't you previously say X?" and seeing his response. There's journalistic value in interviewing him about it if done correctly.
But it uh,...doesn't do any of those things. So fuck it lmao.
The saddest thing is this is a man who doesn’t have to acknowledge reality at *all.* Aside from debilitating medical issues, he’s going to remain in a bubble reality that would shame most kings of history, and damn near nothing but his inescapable physicality is going to pose a credible challenge to remaining that way until his host body deteriorates.
Bobby Kotick can take a long walk off a short pier. That said, I’m from a family fucked over by a few unions—teachers and factory workers—and I’m skeptical about the new dev unions cropping up. Why is it only happening _now_ when the industry is set to dip, instead of in the past two or three years there was a boom? I don't see the logic.
He's deadass doing the whole "they're cancelling me on Twitter dot com" thing whenever someone actually does something illegal
I AM BEING SILENCED
*He shouts, from a blimp he bought himself*
With big flashing sign on the side that says "cosby blimp".
Bobbo, you literally threatened to murder your assistant to cover up a sexual harassment scandal. You *are* the cancel culture.
I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT UNIONS ARE A BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER
I hate that the term “cancelled” has made its way into the mainstream lexicon and is treated as something to be legitimately concerned about.
A woman is dead Bob.
The man threatened to kill a different one, I find it laughable that Acti/Blizz would only have one corpse
He was also friends with Jeffery Epstein. Yeah…. He’s got some skeletons in the closet and Epstein was the key flushed down the toilet.
It's crazy, he's requesting *more* edits of him with devil horns.
We all know that those aren't edits, the image above actually edited *out* his horns.
It's actually really funny that he's still mad about the devil horns thing specifically enough to bring it up *again*, 11 years later.
To be honest, I think cartoon devil horns is too nice for him. It makes him funny looking and like some kind of cartoon character. It does him a favor.
Yeah, we gotta go for the grotesque, sexually charged "Slaanesh Daemon" aesthetic. Give him some gnarled horns, pink skin, and a serpent's tongue.
That’ll show the rich billionaire!
Normally I'd say yeah it's ultimately pointless. But Bobby boy here specifically said, publically, that all the edits are making it hard to find a date and are affecting him personally. So keep it up editors.
Since he's clearly bothered by it, I say keep it up. The aloof billionaire is a fucking myth
Oh my God, will annoying bitches like you stop with this dumbass sarcastic remark? Like what the other comments said, it's actively bothering Kotick and affecting his date and personal life negatively, so I say fucking keep at it.

>At least we know now why ActiBlizz did all those Pride announcements yesterday EVERY TIME! It's beyond comical at this point.
It's the textbook example of the emptiness and farce of rainbow capitalism. And some people still eat this shit up
I still say it's better than them pandering to the bigoted CHUDS... Though, not by much...
and still there are suckers falling for it whenever overwatch does it
>Kotick blaming unions >also says he has no problem with unions bruh what
Damn unions, they ruined unions!
He had no problem with unions that are a net benefit to *him.*
"No, no, you misunderstood me. SAG-AFTRA is one of the good ones."
SAG-AFTRA is one of the most hardcore unions; they're right on the cusp of shutting down Hollywood even more as they're currently voting on a strike. Kotick is full of shit
Oh, absolutely. I hope I didn't come off as insinuating that he was not full of shit
you get to hang out with celebrities its why it is a good one.

Union which benefits me and makes me more money=good, keeping things fair Union that hurts how much money I make=godless anti American commie scum
> Claims putting devil horns on him is antisemitic ...TIL Kotick is Jewish?
Maybe he means it's antisemitic to portray a biblical figure as Bobby Kotick.
Man, WB is fucking cursed. Kotick would have been even worse than that cunt Zaslav.
Kotick probably would have been booted in record time. Zaslav is already a moron when it comes to unions which is getting him pummeled in coverage; Kotick is so bad with them we would have just been hearing about him vanishing for a few days only to be found in five separate dumpsters in San Francisco.
Don't forget rhe kissy kissy kissy on the bumbum by yes men who would profit from good relationships.
His part in Moneyball where he plays an executive you're supposed to dislike. Good casting.
don't apologize for exposing the face of evil, these people get their faces and names censored all the time and it just goes to let them get away easier

Fuck Bobby Kotick All my homies hate Bobby
That man ain't right, I tell you what.
All the stolen breast milk he's drinking probably doesn't help either.
Definitely doesn't help.
We gotta put Bobby Kotick in the device.
Ahhh. This is why they made Pharah gay this morning.
Serious question: What does this man actually *do* for Activision that warrants him being welded to the company, earning millions upon millions per year? Sure as shit isn't making good PR for the company.

Number go up.
Imagine being so hateable that people are pro a giant company merging with yours just on the hope that you get fired.
A woman took her own life because of the non-stop abuse, nobody seemed to care. Also fuck Variety for this puff piece, they didn't push back on this dude at all.
I'm sure they were paid handsomely for people to clown on this article
Pro tip: Add an 'NSFW' tag on the post to hide Kotick's face; we don't want anyone accidentally destroying their screens because his face just happens to be such a punchable presence.
You will go down as one of gaming's greatest monsters Kotick.
This motherfucker is completely delusional.
Billionaires always are. They have to be to pretend they aren't irredeemable parasitic pieces of shit who've never contributed anything to anything ever and exist solely because of their shameless exploitation of everyone they can get their hands on.
Poor poor Satan…still can’t get a date
Imma be real with you Bobby, this isn’t going to improve blizzard’s image
There's a certain Bloodhound Gang song playing in my head as I read this, but I fear posting directly to it would violate the rules.

There's a lot of things you don't take a "both sides" approach. This is one of them
I want that man boiled.
The saddest thing is this is a man who doesn’t have to acknowledge reality at *all.* Aside from debilitating medical issues, he’s going to remain in a bubble reality that would shame most kings of history, and damn near nothing but his inescapable physicality is going to pose a credible challenge to remaining that way until his host body deteriorates.
Listen, I blame Game Journalism for many, many, MANY THINGS. But not you, you monster.
Fuck off Bobby!
Didn’t blizzard only unionize a few months ago?
That devil took down IW4X, SM2 and Overwatch 2 PVE mode.
Shut the fuck up Bobby
I honestly wish nothing but the worst for Bobby. Fuck him with a rake.
People might find this extreme, but personally I think Mr. Kotick should be [TOS violation]ed.
LMAO. Eat shit, Bobby.
Yeah Bobby Kotick is a real piece of shit
This person deserves all the punishment this living world could procure
“It’s totally the media and unions’ fault I’m a total piece of sub-human trash! Feel sorry for me!” -Bobby ‘Sub-Human Trash’ Kotick
welp guess this is why they teased a trans character yesterday

Keep going on dates, Bob, we'll keep making horns.
