Activision Blizzard Employees Are Walking Out Following Bombshell Report About Bobby Kotick

If Kotick is finally get rid of due to this after ruining the industry and gaming for so long, it'll be like Al Capone getting busted for tax eviction. I'll still take it.

at least they changed McCree's name

A Makuch article with comments?

Oh yeah, this company just can't stop burning to ash. It is so fun to watch.

"Zero tolerance policy" To me it seems is just a witch hunt to get this guy out of his own company. He brought the company out of bankruptcy and now people want to take it from him. I hope he puts out a fight, it seems the public is over reaching out of hatred which is never good, this issue was already in the past and it seems a lot of people are getting out of their way just because they want this guy out.

It's time for Kotick to go.....it's well passed the abuse.

$154 million a year for one guy.... wow, no wonder he agreed to a paycut, he has enough to last him a lifetime lol

Just think of how many employees could be hired or get a raise with just half of his yearly earnings.

I think it's possible that this is the straw that's going to break this camel's back. Up to this point Kotick hasn't be implicated in any way, so investors could feel comfortable keeping him around. The heat will be on this time, and the easiest way to reduce some of it will be to remove Kotick. As others have said, this won't solve the problem in any way, but it's a start.

What did the first walkout accomplish? Other than firing and golden parachuting a few inexpensive pawns, absolutely nothing changed. What will this second walkout accomplish? Look at the first walkout.

Activision Blizzard’s misbehavior doesn’t seem to have negatively affected Vanguard’s sales figures. Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 will likely be unaffected. Activision Blizzard is full of scum top to bottom. But… People. Don’t. Care.

Surprising no one, this guy has been a deflecting enabler for many years and sadly will probably remain in this position for years go to come.

I know Kotick is just another CEO with the whole purpose of making money for himself and investors but damn, how would i love to punch him in the face.

bye.

Dont get fooled,Kotick leaving ActivisionBlizzard wont solve the sexual harassment problem within Blizzard.

I don't understand why Kotick even needs to work anymore.

Just retire, let someone else pick the company back up off its feet and make it full of passion instead of profit like it used to be.

Nice knowin' you Bobby, don't let the 🚪hit you!

Kotick deserves to go for what he did to the company and gaming in general.

But it does seem like there's some kind of organized campaign against ATVI in general lately. I'm sure if you dig into any major company you'll find all sorts of dirty laundry like this...but someone REALLY seems to want to dig into these guys.

Hey, I sold my stock and cancelled my subs months ago anyway. Go nuts. Maybe Microsoft can come in and buy the IPs for cheap when all is said and done.

Wow. The comments are open.

Anyway, nice to see Kotick's time has come. It was looking like this was all going to end with little more than a stern glance and a child's promise of never doing badness again, so it's nice to see the gun being pointed at where it should have been in the first place: leadership.

That said, this feels less like people blaming him and more like everyone is taking advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Kotick. Which is fine. He sucks regardless, so whether he goes down for this or something else doesn't really matter.
