Bobby Kotick just got another 10 million dollars a year.

Not even his, he’s just the chief executive officer. Look at it through his perspective. He just made the owners of activision a billion dollars and they only gave him 40 million. Plus as an employee he has to pay income taxes. That’s not fair, I would be pissed honestly. It’s why veteran devs are fleeing to smaller homegrown studios. Ownership>CEO

Dr1 is one of my favorite games.

Exactly. At a certain point your money just sits and makes more money. That’s why these “win big or lose everything” types make big salaries. The blizzard people could just stop now and go live dream lives. The thing is they are living their dream lives. Gambling addicts essentially. The thrill of it all on a billion dollar scale.

It’s true, he’s been there for awhile. He’s made them a lot of money regardless of how you feel about him. If you don’t like the way he’s made them that money, it’s irrelevant, you gave it to him anyways. I think he’s a jerk but thats why he gets 40mil lol. The thing about the corporate cutthroats and politicians, you have to be a borderline sociopath to be successful. He’s good at what he does because he doesn’t care about you. They care about getting the most of your money or power, whateve...

Timed exclusives are a waste of money. It doesn’t matter who does it. The only time it works is when a publisher drops money into a game that wouldn’t be made otherwise. Even then your return on investment isn’t a “timed” ordeal so it doesn’t count. Paying millions for getting cod maps a month early is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I want to see proof that those dumb deals make any difference whatsoever. Use that cash in first party projects or invest in a game that wouldn’t be made oth...

Why the hell would you need 10 million a year in that case lol? I’d be set for life with 10 million dollars. High stakes Fortune 500 logic is unfathomable to us plebes. The 40 million is obviously incentive to keep the company making billions. That 40mil is nothing to these guys. The guys who get paid dirt are easily replaceable. Keeping a company in top tier isn’t as easy. It’s why CEOs are changed like underwear. 40 million one year, jobless and ruined the next.

The game tester doesn’t make as much as the engineer. What a sick, sad world.

I have a few of those on 360.

It’s more of a simulation than a game. There are challenges but there is no “goal”. It’s just a sandbox with physics based skateboarding. It’s solid for 20 bucks imo. I’m enjoying it.

Lol 800 comments all saying the same thing.

The super scaling game is much harder to do than it appears. Maybe not for someone with formal training but someone like me hopping in and and trying to teach myself as I go. “Aw this old shit will be easy it’s 2020”. No it was more difficult lol. A fan is just getting his basics down. They will get better if they keep at it. It looks like shit but it’s a start.

Oh I dont know. I was just assuming there would be a digital option.

I have too many PS4 games and movies. I might do the Xbox digital though. The few games I have are digital, I mostly use game pass.

I disagree. Reimagining fable would be the easiest thing to do. Ignore 2 and 3. Go for a prequel based in Celtic mythology with the same cheesy British humor. The whole time moving forward angle ruined the franchise imo. Go backwards into the mystical.

Not coming out? Lmaooo

Yeah the “reverse horror” stuff is underplayed. I agree with the criticism too.

I will buy one when god of war 2 comes out. Hopefully the 8k will be reasonable by then if it’s not already (didn’t look for price).

That went over my head lol. Who is going to be on defense?
