  Just a shout out to Stephanie Sterling for covering Koticks fuckery since the beginning (on youtube) And Jason Schrier for publishing it, ad 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.

      “If I sound like a tired drum banging the same beat its because the beat hasn’t changed. I fail to see how that’s my fault!”

    “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.

      Well obviously it’s photoshopped. Are people that dumb? His skin is really red.

  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.
