Oof. Okay Bobby yeah you show your whole ass and when people tell you to put it the fuck away you start spraying shit everywhere in protest. That's not being a heroic rebel, that's just being an asshole.

Honestly I was happier laughing at GTA DE's glitches.

TBH a board will always "have complete confidence in their CEO" until the shareholders say they don't, at which point the board always hated that guy too.

The company's stock price dipped again today so we'll see how long that lasts.

Activision's board releases a public statement that they remain confident in Bobby Kotick

Translation: "if we don't save him, they'll come for us next."

[up] More like "We won't fan the flames and we'll see how the shareholders feel before we do anything"

The company's stock price dipped again today so we'll see how long that lasts.

True, but that's not even that big a dip, what it did is go back to where it was 5 days ago.

Heck it took a bigger dip on nov 3rd, when it announced Overwatch 2's delay.

Besides, keep in mind that Kotick's severance package is between 250 million to 292 million (Depending on if he's fired with or without cause). There's no scenario where Bobby doesn't come out on top. Either he keeps running things, or makes a fortune and goes off to enjoy his billions. Man's so rich his actual salary is practically chump change to him.

Personally, I think he should get fired and get no severance pay, and never get hired ever again

[up]As much as I agree with that, sadly it isn't going to happen.

Consequences are for poor people, after all.

Honestly, greed is too poisonous. Don’t understand the endless pursuit of money.

Don’t understand why anyone would be a horrible person, regardless of how rich or poor they are.

Been a while.

You know, it's kinda funny how the article about acti-blizz drops around the same time a Hearthstone expansion is announced and it also is during a card reveal season. That's the second time it happens (insert two nickles meme)

Sucks for the devs to get fucked over by the actions at the top. As usual, Bobby is up to no good and keeps making Acti-blizz a worse place.

Some Actibliz shareholders sending a letter calling for Bobby Kotick to be fired, as well as the two most senior member of the board.

Guess writing that press release about how you support Bobby may not have been a good move.

[up] Unfortunately the group who are requesting the resignations only represent a handful of shareholders, so I don't expect this to have much impact.

It's multiple group of shareholders. One of them has barely any shares (around 10k), another has 4.8 million shares.

They are also planning to reach to other shareholders, so that may spread. Still, progress.
