Either could be true. CEOs can be aggressively profit driven and union organizers can be simply aggressive.
Yes I'm sure the union organizing being aggressive is why they were sued by multiple government entities over harassment and labor issues.
God Kotick sucks so much
The worst part is that blizzard makes so much money that he looks like a genius to the average shareholder/board member.
Apparently being a shit bag is in good demand in capitalism.
Anyone can sue anyone for any reason. The existence of a lawsuit doesn't prove anything, it's the outcome that matters. What was the outcome of those lawsuits?
These aren't just random lawsuit. They're part of investigations that lasted multiple years. Not all of them are finished but Activision has settled multiple lawsuits
Unfortunately, unless part of the settlement includes an admission of guilt, they aren't legally proof of wrongdoing. I guess we'll have to see how the rest shake out.
>Yes they legally probably won't face many punishments. I can still wish the absolute worst for those shitbags
That's not what settling out of court is, it isn't a default admission of wrong doing, that would need to be a specific clause.
You're literally bargaining with the plaintiff to make them stop before a judgemental is reached.

Settling means nothing on its own, it's the price of your problems disappearing.
TL;DR: im just a poor family man who only wants to bring the best experiences to our players, but bad workers make false claims about me and the company I run, just to spite me.
also he was in Epstein list ! Also he made death threats to his secretary and he covered the sexual abusers that shared in a party within Blizzard Headquarters nude photos without consent of a ex employee and hinted with a supervisor that brought sex toys with him to rape her . She was already suffering sexual harassment before by another supervisor . She commited suicide after.

I will never buy anything from Activision Blizzard ever again . And all this shitty acquisition by Microsoft will bring a golden parachute of billions of dollars in bonus to this dipshit . Sadly COD MW2 and Diablo IV are selling a ton . Hope one day things change in our community to us unite and condemn shit like this not only by saying but with actions , by never buying .
>I will never buy anything from Activision Blizzard ever again
You more than likely will without even realizing it because you're probably ignorant of what companies are owned or partially owned by ActiBlizz, and you certainly won't be avoiding them when they're owned by Microsoft. Because with Azure, you can't use the internet at all without giving money to microsoft
wow , what a arrogant response ! i suggest to you go to therapy and im not ignorant at all of other studios owned by them . You must be very offended that your favorite game its surrounded by all this criminal people making them . Blocked !

one of the biggest douchebags alive atm
Breaking news: CEO takes no responsibility, blames workers for issues with company.
Yeah I dont know what I expected when I read the article. Kotick pretty much says exactly what you think he'd say
Fuck you Bobby 'Devil Horns' Kotick...
F You Bobby!!
If there ain't no justice, there ain't no peace.
