Bobby Kotick is a money-grubbing devil.

A tasteless, endlessly greedy, impassionate devil. Yes. He brings a lot of money to Activision, but at what cost? He's the only CEO in the video game industry to actively express his lack of care and dislike of gaming. He blatantly, flat-out says he wants to exploit games and squeeze every last dollar and penny he can out of us.
Why do you think Modern Warfare 2 came out the way it did? Did you know that the PC version actually does have dedicated server support and leaning coded in? It's just all disabled at the moment. The game itself is just an XBOX 360 port, if you can believe that. Why do you think Starcraft 3's campaign is being split off and sold into 3 separate games? Why do you think WoW started shitting out so much merchandise after Activision took over? Why do you think they have a pet store now? Why do you think there's been so many Guitar Hero games in the span of two years?
This man is a cancer. EA at its worst doesn't compare to him. If you want to have an idea of just how low he can go... Well. Kotick used to be the head of 4Kids.
