Best of the Giant Bombcast- Bobby Kotick versus Sony

One of my favorites from the 6/23/2009 episode of the Bombcast. I have the whole clip because it's funny, but the actual kotick impression starts at 3:55

Bobby Kotick is a douche. Jeff Gerstmann should have his job, he would do such a better job!

@kamikazee55

That better be sarcasm I hear.

@Vakrian Not necessarily. While both men ARE huge douches, Bobby's business is in making a bunch of mainstream hits that have extremely high production values and lead to ENORMOUS profit from sales, whereas Uwe Boll makes god awful POS movies that do so goddamn terribly that the German tax system pays him back far more money than any of his movies should ever make for him.

I see Bobby Kotick as being a bit like Lleu Haywood. I can just imagine Riccitello with one foot up on the dugout going "Get me Jack Tretton. I know this guy's lit him before, but I think he's due." Then the Sony E3 presentation starts and "Wild Thing" starts playing on the house speakers.

Where does this guy get off. He has spent shit developing games on PS3. If Activision was really looking into the PS3 and making games that took advantage of it's capabilities, I could maybe stomach this comment, but all Activision has dont this generation is exploit their engines to death and release sparsely packed, overpriced DLC. Piss on Activision for keeping this guy around. I for one will be avoiding all of their products from this point on. Starting with 5 maps for 14.99. Shameful.

@kamikazee55 That might be the case, but what defines "best CEO"? He's the best businessman at the head of a large company, sure, but most people despise his business tactics and the way he presents himself and his business. Sure, he makes a lot of money, but that doesn't make him a decent person, or one worth praising.

But, at the end of the day, yeah, it's a business, so I see where you're coming from. I still think Kotick's a lousy individual, regardless of post.

@norskwizard You're right. Dun wurry.

@kamikazee55 Not if your a gamer..

[kamikazee55]

@DeadlySoldier No. It is not.

Activision doesn't exist for your sake. You do not have a right to anything Activision produces. They exist for their own sakes, and they should be seeking profit.
