I worked there during this time, and this pretty much confirms what everyone feared when the merger was announced. Part of me wants to read this book, but I know it will make me really mad.
Just a little anecdote, we had a meeting shortly after where Frank Pierce told us that major changes would basically happen over Morhaime’s dead body. So when he left (and Pierce also) it was clear that it was over.
I knew it was going to be Kotick before I even clicked.
Bobby is the worst thing to happen to blizzard. I stopped buying their games bcz I don’t want to enrich that shit head.
as revealed in his new book, Play Nice: The Rise And Fall Of Blizzard Entertainment, […] he could tell when things were starting to fall apart, and a key reason for that was certain “business-minded hires,” including former CEO Bobby Kotick, who came on after the Activision merger.
MBA and MBA-minded parasites ruined shit for everyone? What a shocking revelation!
Healthcare, education, transportation…it’s like the opposite of the Life of Brian scene about the Romans, talking about what they brought areas they took control of.
Every time I see “Bobby Kotick” I hear it in that bit from Parks and Rec where they keep repeating “Bobby Newport” more ludicrously
BAH-BEE KOH-TICKKKKKKK
Kot means shit in German, and -ig is like -ish in English. His name automatically translates to Bobby Shitish
Shitty Bobby.
I’ll never how these people don’t know they’re the bad guys, and how they just accept it if they do. Like, they only make things worse, they’ve never once added to the world.
Money
They all think they did something amazing and they always forget all the people that carried them to the top.
Giving away power that gives you certainty of success is something only the best leaders can do.
I think you accidentally a word.
