Hot damn. I’ve seen friction between upper management before but it’s literally inconceivable to me that I would ever wake up and see that level of genuine hatred from like, one of my place’s senior management tweeted out to an ex-CEO.
I guess Bobby was a very special guy to the Blizzard crew, huh?
There was also one string of Tweets in which many seniors from the Overwatch crew blamed Kotick for sabotaging the franchise and ruining Overwatch 2 with terrible decisions from higher up getting in the way of development. I really felt that one since I used to be an OW fan.
Everyone knew something was off when the game director which was extremely passionate (Jeff Kaplan) just straight up left the team after OW2 was announced. Really sucks, but at least we got some context.
If the people who make those profits could make another 5% at the expense of a million people dying, then a million people will die, and it won’t be the first time.
If you take it to mean achieving a given set goal, then i am as successful as bobby k.
I have achieved many of my goals and would consider myself very successful.
But bobby has significantly more money than i do. Does that make him more successful than me? I would argue he is less successful as his goal isn’t to make the amount of money he has made up to this date. He won’t have achieved his goals/success until he has bled dry every single game company he can get his gruby hands on.
Yeah, I worked there back in the day. Started when we were still owned by Vivendi. Quit after about a year of ownership by Activision. Fuck Kotick. Seriously.

“sabotage”
They made a billion dollars so far.
On overwatch 2?
Thinking profit is the only measure of success?
for the people in charge, it is the only measure that matters unfortunately

I guess it depends on how you define success.
