One of the two men behind Blizzard has written a book revealing how one former CEO was the reason he left his own company.
as revealed in his new book, Play Nice: The Rise And Fall Of Blizzard Entertainment, […] he could tell when things were starting to fall apart, and a key reason for that was certain “business-minded hires,” including former CEO Bobby Kotick, who came on after the Activision merger.
MBA and MBA-minded parasites ruined shit for everyone? What a shocking revelation!
Healthcare, education, transportation...it's like the opposite of the Life of Brian scene about the Romans, talking about what they brought areas they took control of.
I knew it was going to be Kotick before I even clicked.
Bobby is the worst thing to happen to blizzard. I stopped buying their games bcz I don't want to enrich that shit head.
I'll never how these people don't know they're the bad guys, and how they just accept it if they do. Like, they only make things worse, they've never once added to the world.
Money
I think you accidentally a word.
"Yeah, sure this company is doing well and all, but what if I ruined everything to make the company earn a bit more for a while, and I earn a whole lot, and then the whole thing is unrecognizable in a few years time? Business."
I worked there during this time, and this pretty much confirms what everyone feared when the merger was announced. Part of me wants to read this book, but I know it will make me really mad.
Just a little anecdote, we had a meeting shortly after where Frank Pierce told us that major changes would basically happen over Morhaime's dead body. So when he left (and Pierce also) it was clear that it was over.
