Shit like this is cringe. Kotick makes money and turned a failing company into a successful studio. You might not like it but he makes games for the majority and he wouldn't have been successful otherwise.
The fuck are you smoking.

Wotlk WoW era Blizzard was a failing company? In what metric?
Money makers like OW2/Diablo Immortal aren't designed for the majority either, but for the 1% willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money. He made a successful studio develop into a souless money printing machine.
Edit: If you want to credit him with everything Blizzard's achieved since his tenure, why not also credit him with sinking Blizzard's reputation into the ground for the current generation of youths, ensuring that whoever comes after will have nothing to work with?
Not defending kotick but, isn't that what a big corp CEO's job is? Make money for the shareholders, at any cost? I hate what he's done. But I don't see a point in bashing him for doing exactly what your typical scum big corp CEO does.
No. It's not generally the CEOs job to cover up rapes and sexual assaults. There's a line and Kotick crossed it. Whatever money he made wasn't worth the shit he did. If you participate in covering up for rapists you are not serving your shareholders, you're destroying the reputation of the company as soon as what you have been doing gets out. Which is exactly what happened and led directly to Microsoft taking the company over.
Short term profit is great, but if I was a shareholder I'd rather get a Bezos or Murdoch making sustainable scummy decisions rather than a Kotick or Musk damaging the company's long term reputation and haemorrhaging skilled workers in the process. I believe Kotick is lacking as an 'ideal' scum big corp CEO, as do his workers and Microsoft.
Congratulations, LemmyIsFantastic. We have deposited $0.05 into your bank account. Please refrain from not continuing your campaign.
Either you're blissfully ignorant toward the truly heinous shit Kotick has done and has allowed to be done under his watch, or you're aware of those things and are okay with them.
I really hope it's the former, because that's at least correctable.
You joined lemmy after the reddit protests. Either you came here to make it a worse place or you came here because you disagree with the scummy shitty decisions that people like spez and bobby make so they can make more money.
So you are either suffering a huge amount of cognitive dissonance, smoking some mad copium, or you are a massive troll.
You have -2000 or so karma already so im guessing its all three.
