“Gaming journalism” did its best to not mention it every time something with kotick came up. Blizzard would release shit about games as a smokescreen. A scandal where Kotick groped a guy in front of an elevator? NEW OVERWATCH 2 DETAILS ANNOUNCED!
His shit is well documented.

Just a shout out to Stephanie Sterling for covering Koticks fuckery since the beginning (on youtube)
And Jason Schrier for publishing it (kotaku, now bloomberg, and freelance), even as it has fallen on deaf ears for the better part of a decade. Activision Blizzard has been rife with frat boy culture that kotick promotes would have been a bloody nose on the new face Microsoft wants to put on the company.

Stephenie sterling has been an absolute legend covering this. Been watching the jimquisition for a long time now and i never miss an episode about kotick.

As much as I didn’t want the ABK Xbox deal happening due the consolidation of the industry, I gotta be honest, it did get Bobby out. That’s a win.
Just in time for him to go run Unity or Tencent into the ground.

Hopefully it doesn’t stop with Bobby.
This is one of the only times I hope more layoffs occur due to the merge. Nobody gets away with so much as Kotick did without a host of enablers. Everyone responsible for upholding the culture of harassment deserves to be sacked.

Kotick is a wad of mounted shoulder ass prancing about like he’s some god-king inspired sewer lord, sure…but what about the people who must know this and still hire his ass on to run them into the ground? I feel like a small amount of blame should be handily fired at those who enable people like him.

I have no idea what a wad of mounted shoulder ass means, but that’s an incredible series of words, bravo.

Seriously. How do you not look at this face and think he doesn’t drink and bathe in the blood of children
Well obviously it’s photoshopped. Are people that dumb? His skin is really red.
Turns out he was an even bigger piece of shit than we thought with all this news coming out.

I heard he’s going to Bungie next.
Oh please no …
I’m sorry friend…
