FTC lawyer does quick off-the-cuff math to determine Activision CEO Bobby Kotick's stock would be worth $400 million, which he doesn't directly clarify.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Larry writes: "As many of you have been with me during my career in gaming, I'd like to share personal news. Like many in the gaming space recently, I've been laid off from @Unity"
That’s some major layoffs best of luck to him and the rest that got laid off. It always hurt specially more before or during holidays.
Met Larry a couple times. Sucks to hear he got laid off. Real standup guy who just loves gaming and the industry.
Dude finally got laid at 58 years old. Bit of a weird flex but im still happy for the guy!🥂
"We see DRM as something which can make the life of a legal customer more difficult," says Michał Kiciński, "so there is no reason to keep it alive."
And just like the Bethesda buy up the only people that benefit are the already wealthy CEOs and shareholders, workers and gamers get the middle finger.
I'd bet his tickets on the train to "getting himself out of trouble if the deal goes through," are worth even more.
That boh bouta get paid
What merger, I thought it was a buyout wtf.
Anyway, not surprised to hear that. No wonder Kotick wants that deal to happen. It's that company where the CEO only makes about 300 times as much as the lowest paid employee, when the CEO's "work" is so demanding that he has plenty of time to sit at the boards of a half-dozen other companies, and his employees have to resort to using the freely given coffee and sugar to fight hunger because they're so poor they don't even eat to repletion.
But questionable morality isn't a part of the equation here I assume...
Can't stand looking at this weasel
