Following Bobby Kotick’s exit, former ABK devs call out his toxic management and Overwatch 2 sabotage

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.

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.

Turns out he was an even bigger piece of shit than we thought with all this news coming out.

“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.
