Kotick Earned 15 Mil in 2008; Has the Nerve to Suggest Higher Prices?
08/10/2009 Written by Anthony Severino
If everyone had salaries like Mr. Kotick, CEO of Activision, then we could afford the astronomical prices Activision charges for their games. But this is reality, a reality where Bobby Kotick wants to raise game prices. Prices that are already at an expensive price point, and during an economic crisis.
Attention Bobby Kotick… It’s 2009, the global economy has crashed, in large part due to corporate greed. Maybe you haven’t noticed the hit to the economy, since in 2008 you made a staggering (said in Dr. Evil voice) $15 million dollars.
Every day it seems as though poor (/sarcasm) Mr. Kotick is headed toward being the most hated man in the gaming industry. And the more the guy opens his yapper, the more hate he deservedly gets.

Not a fan of this guy. I’ll let karma do it’s work.

yeah. this asshat totally needs more money. he should start charging people for saying / writing the name ‘Activision’, ala “LLLLLet’s get rrrRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!”. know what i mean? or how ’bout charging purchasing rights to purchase all those awesome Activision games? he could even blackball store chains that refuse to pay higher royalties for having the privilege of stocking and displaying said awesome games.
(you should probably delete this comment, as it may actually give Kotik some ideas.) lol

Words cannot describe how big of an Anal Wart Boby No-Dick is

As long as people keep buying this guy’s games, he’ll keep laughing all the way to the bank.

Go ahead Activision. Raise the prices of your games. If your games cost more than your competitiors, guess who will loose in the end?

we hate this dude enough. stop with the worthless news about him.

Nice sleuthing Sev.
On a related note, this guy’s two front teeth look like perfect squares. It’s quite irritating if you look at them, I suggest you don’t do it… oh no! Too late!

Someone needs to create a terrorist organization to take this guy out. This dude is the definition of an Anal Hairpiece.

His salary is pretty standard for corporate executives. The bonuses are what makes up most of his income. Again, all pretty standard. But what makes this guy stand out is his we need more money. How about you take one for the team Mr. Kotick and keep the game prices lower?

At this rate he should just collect his salary and let the bonuses go. Since his salary alone is more in one year than I will make in 30 years so he needs to learn to live in a house in which he has to bump shooulders with other family members.
Maybe he could also use that bonus to purchase consoles to give away to those who can’t afford them, then charge them higher prices for his games and see what games they purchase.

Maybe Mr. Kotik could bring back the Colecovision console which I believe was purchased by Activision in the 80’s when the game industry went through another tough times. Consoles were all over the place, actually game playing computers were all over the place and only Atari had a dedicated console at the time with the 2600 and then the industry opened up with Coleco, Activision, Sega, then Nintendo and now we have Sony and M$. And out of those only Nintendo, Sony and M$ are real contenders. And with OnLive in the future looking “Cloud” gamespace. Activision needs to look back and then realize what is going on here or they could find that their game sales plumet like the Atari did and now is only a software company. Activision needs to tread lightly on the backs of those that support it.
Has anybody got a list of Activision Game Titles since I have been relatively new to this generation of consoles in buying games, maybe if there was a list to keep track of game sales to see if a boycott is really working…

Yeah this guy totally sucks.
