With the exception of Sekiro I've lost all interest in Activision games in recent years

Yeah there is, and the reason is Activision is a scummy company, run by a scummy man, only wanting to incorporate scummy business practises into games. #scum

I won't be one of them.

This guy👆😂👏 I remember what he did to Infinity Ward. Greedy slacker!

There is a good reason they won't get a billion players & that reason is mtx. That's why l don't play Activision Blizzard games.

You don't deserve them. Would only exploit them. Not see "customers" as "fellow human beings" and only degrade cultural morals as result. Then, as a Western company, there's the whole China thing...

"Activision Blizzard CEO: There's No Good Reason We Can't Have One Billion Customers in Five Years"

Well, for starters, you would have to keep all of your customers long enough to hit a billion. They do a fantastic job of turning people off to them.

Second, that would realistically require 1 in 7.5 people in the WORLD to be into gaming and—additionally—into Activision games. That's a bit much in my opinion.

There's nobody worse than this guy.

Yea there is greedy shitty practices

Some statements Kotick has made about his business strategy have led to controversy. He has focused on developing intellectual property which can be, in his words, "exploited" over a long period, to the exclusion of new titles which cannot guarantee sequels. Kotick described this business strategy as "narrow and deep" or "annualizable" and cited it as key to attracting development talent who may not be drawn to "speculative franchises." During Activision Blizzard's Q2 2009 financial results conference, Kotick was asked about his "comfort level" regarding pricing of some of his new games. After Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith answered that there was "strong retailer acceptance and support" for the pricing plan, Kotick joked that "if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further." Although Phil Elliot of Gamesindustry.biz understood the comment as a joke, he added that the comment could be seen as "insensitive at a time when consumers are likely to be feeling the economic pinch."

FUCK THIS CLOWN

Activision Blizzard, F you!
And Activision Blizzard's customers, wherever you are, F you, too!

In a follow up interview, Kotick told us how he was disappointed that the board of directors didn't approve his request for freakin' sharks with freakin' laser beams.

So in other words, they are fully committed to being China’s b*tch

He's just talking shit to appease the shareholders

Yes there is, Bobby: That you're a fucking asshole and a pox on this industry and don't DESERVE 1 billion customers.

I honestly don't understand this level of greed. It's a sickness as far as I'm concerned.

That's impossible, you see gamers and citizens cares about honk kong protest and their demand which is democracy. All Activision-Blizzard has is starcraft 2 and call of duty. That's it, everything else will be replaced

So Activision is counting on a billion idiots falling into their trap? Well, there are people who actually bought the Stadia so I suppose Activision's outlook is plausible.

Screw off, Activision! lol

You continue to embarrass yourself with dumb shit like an always-online connection to play a COD campaign on PC.

Corporate investors: That sounds good, now make sure you get 2 billion the next year.

Bobby, you are the primary good reason why Activision/Blizzard doesn't deserve those costumers.

Never gonna happen.

Why settle for a billion when you can have one trillion!

Is there 1 billion people in China?

Not me. Online-only = failblogging to the max.

Yes there is - your shitty business practices.

All of Activision Blizzard: "Hold my beer"

Corporate Scum!

WE WILL DRAG THEM BY THEIR SCRUFF!!!

Greed corp go home

That may be true, but I am sure there are several other good reasons why you won't.

Count me out.

That guy is so disgusting that when he dies, if there is a hell and he goes there, not even the devil himself will want to torture him because even he won't want to touch this disgusting filth.

1b casual players or maybe not , cause casual players don't have common sustainable ground that defines them.

Bobby Kotick is such a sack of shit. Anti consumer and just literally an awful human being. Just read about him and how he left his wife and kids. If anything gamers should boycott them until he's replaced.
