He literally looks like some offensive dehumanizing propaganda poster, someone JK Rowling would put in charge of Gringotts wizarding bank, that's really unfortunate.
I knew it was going to be like this as Luke is too nice for his own good. Being too neutral is also a bad thing, so let me rip off the Pixar explanation for Luke. 700 sexual assault allegations, mass wire tapping of workers, under paid, union busting, Bobby himself threatened to kill a few of his co-workers, baby milk stealing and drinking, the Cosby suite, and that’s all I can remember. I know there’s more. All you have to do is type in the search bar of any search engine or UA-cam itself, is activision controversy. Bobby is in charge of all of this. Taking the head mob boss will hopefully lead to many more firings. The entire company needs to be cleaned out. This isn’t just 1 or 2 or several incidents. This is an epidemic of worker abuse. It’s Epstein’s island version 2.
“We are now part of the worlds most admired company” Oh my god I almost had an aneurysm reading that… these CEOs and executives really live in an entirely different reality than us
Matt Booty is the President of Game Content and Studios that will be also overseeing Activision Blizzard, and king as well as Bethesda and Xbox Game Studios
It was CEOs and companies like this, is what I despise. I've gone elsewhere with my money for 2 decades now. Another one I've hated was Hasbro and in particular Wizards of the Coast.
@@FunkThompson I mean, yeah he has good work ethic when it comes to running the union, but the guy is mighty underhanded. Believe me, I don't even want to think about Disco Elysium behind the scenes rn
Luke when you dip into corporations politics and economy choices its as interesting as depressing. I work in the industry as a freelancer which means that I only feel these things very superficially, but these more in-depth content makes me realize how we are more and more in a dystopian dry reality where corporations have so much control and power that is almost scary, if not at least a little disheartening, makes my work feel as just being data - a blip on a monitor where all that truly counts is stocks value.. helps keeping the head straight. Thanks for your content!
Layoff the workers,but hey the CEOs, the ones that spent alllll that money, made the "decisions", to save money do they...give back a couple of their several million dollar homes? Do they give up their fancy cars, their private jets? Do they ...cut back on their...lawn care services? No, no it's those...WORKERS f'ing it all up wanting to get...paid and such. Ooooh if only we didn't have to pay them then everything would beee allllll right.
I don't think he's capable, I think he's lucky. Have you heard of the elevator joke? Three passengers are going up in an elevator. One is running in place, one is doing push-ups, one is banging his head on the wall. When the elevator reaches the 10th floor, the people outside ask them how they got there. One says I got here by running. On says I got here by doing push-ups. One says I got here by banging my head on the wall. Bobby is one of those passengers.
"Most admired company", yeah right if I saw it walking down the street, I'd run across the street AWAY from it annndd I'd call a cop. "Most admired", yeah, yeah you keep telling YOURSELF that.
Yea, i'm only reading the comments to see if anyone has a similar view. I'm so sick of content creators creating drama over bullshit topics like crunch, layoffs, and/or hurt feefees. The good games were made by small teams of dudes with passion, but their success meant growth, more hiring, expanding, HR, more women, meaning now you gotta watch what you say, when you say it, and to whom. Don't get too drunk, don't hit on the secretary, etc. This was literally the American culture up until the 2000s. Everything becomes all corporate, less fun, more money oriented. Try making a masterpiece game under those conditions. good luck. Meanwhile, Luke will do a 20 minute segment about some company that laid off 1 / 100th of it's workforce, and play it up like it's some big deal. But yea, he does like 4 hour streams 3 days a week, you gotta fill that time in with something... Just sick of the pretending like any of these people give a shit. Listening for the 1000th time to skillup cry about some dev team who endured a month of overtime, BARF!
Good riddance Bobby Kotick I’m glad that his leaving Activision I love COD campaign honestly COD needs a 2 year break or 3 year break in my opinion at this point COD is dead right now. I skipped MW3 2023 and I’m skipping next year’s COD
@@thefilmdirector1 i agree but it didn’t happened when Kotick was a CEO well see what happens now that Kotick is leaving and the gameplay needs to change including the old assets
@@nsbm159 they may buy studios but does not entirely mean they will make a better product I chose halo cuz if you look at the game barely had any content with cod better management sure but does not entirely mean Xbox is perfect they could find a way mess it up
Bobby being the pope…. Hmmm you know what that checks out. He’s the pope in Martin Luther’s time when the Catholic Church was making people buy their way out of purgatory and into heaven.

I really dont understand all the hate JKR is getting, its confusing, but success breeds haters dont it.
@@tommyllama4558 Its funny given that Hogwarts Legacy was one of the best selling games of the year.
@tommyllama4558 idc about any of that tbh, doesn't effect me, never cared very much about harry potter
@@Klodhvig ??? alrighty then.
@@soysaucehairdye7869 Hell, I bought it, great game, 8/10, you could tell the devs loved making it, with how polished and all it was on release.

That last line is funny considering Epstein’s list is planned to be released and suddenly Bobby wants out of the public eye.
thank you
CEOs be like
Alright just made an industry altering choice and laid off everybody in time for Christmas.
I'mma head out take it up with the new guy
Goodbye and good riddance. May the door kick you on the ass on the way out and may you squander your money away.
More consolidation means less competition. Less competition...Here you go by eat your...slop. Don't like your slop, where you goin go? heh, heh
“We are now part of the worlds most admired company”
Oh my god I almost had an aneurysm reading that… these CEOs and executives really live in an entirely different reality than us
They should make him take his severance package in the form of a battle pass
Good. Maybe the next CEO will be less scummy.
I think that's guaranteed, with maybe one exception XD
Matt Booty is the President of Game Content and Studios that will be also overseeing Activision Blizzard, and king as well as Bethesda and Xbox Game Studios
One can hope
@therotten6152 Sad how obvious it was lol
doesn't matter if they're scummy, that only matters when they're making shit games.
Is he stepping down *into literal Hell?*
No?
Not good enough.

Bobby Kotick literally looks like Evrart Claire from Disco Elysium
Claire has ethics.
Just... just don't go read up on how fucked over that games developers ended up.
@@FunkThompson I mean, yeah he has good work ethic when it comes to running the union, but the guy is mighty underhanded.
Believe me, I don't even want to think about Disco Elysium behind the scenes rn
Petition to rename the series "Call of Booty"
I’ve come to really appreciate your videos, good work these last few years
Me too, he’s quickly becoming the person i look to for insight on gaming news
He already got the big bucks. Got nothing to lose at this point.
A step in the right direction 🎉

The Hog is stepping down with his billions of dollars... 🤣
many employees getting drunk and lit right now.
Folks need to stop praying xbox is going to fix Activision/ blizzard. Halo, Gears of wars, sea of thieves, fable, all have Microsoft in common
Bobby Kotick always reminds me of the Elliott Smith song 'King's Crossing.'
"yep people it's time. I can't fill my...bags with ANYMORE money, can't even fit ANOTHER billion sooo I'll be on my way now.
About damn time Cocktit is going away.

The end of Return of The King... The dark tower falls and explodes. This is that moment. I am Aragorn, watching my people finally become free.
Until the next CEO ends up being The Rings of Power.
Now he’s with bungie 😂
Robert Kotick= Michael Eisner
Dats what he who literally reminded me of.
Kotick is a textbook example of a bullied child becoming a bully himself.
F him.
Dang that’s nuts 🥜
Tbh Call Of Duty needs a Revamp into something new and bring the Singleplayer into something we rarely see

It's not a surprise everyone knew he was leaving once Xbox purchased activision
HALLELUJAH!!!

You know what’s crazy is when game developers have frat, boy cultures they usually make the best games because it’s men making games for other men
That’s true man you just described Rockstar, they’ve been described as such and their games reflect it for the best in my opinion

You like Activision games?
@@TigerDriver91 No. I like survivor horror, RE type, and Soulsborne type games.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Let's hope no one worse than him takes the throne.
It's too late. It'll fix nothing.
I've never seen a more literal goblin looking guy. Bobby is such a PoS and I'm glad he's gone, shame he has so much money though
Hope Karma gets him also 👋
Good riddance Bobby Kotick I’m glad that his leaving Activision I love COD campaign honestly COD needs a 2 year break or 3 year break in my opinion at this point COD is dead right now. I skipped MW3 2023 and I’m skipping next year’s COD

BEST ACTIVISION/BLIZZARD NEWS OF THE LAST TWENTY YEARS!
We might as well say, Activision Blizzard is saved
Not necessarily maybe management yea though a good product on the game not entirely
Halo infinite
Oh I wouldn't say saved. More like, under new management.
What does Halo have to do with cod getting saved lol@@______________________-___
@@nsbm159 less on game more of how it was handled there is a chance it might happen to cod and he’ll look at starfield
@@nsbm159 they may buy studios but does not entirely mean they will make a better product I chose halo cuz if you look at the game barely had any content with cod better management sure but does not entirely mean Xbox is perfect they could find a way mess it up
Like was leaked it was happening so no surprise
get out
He is leaving Dec 29th
HOOOOORAYYYYYYYYY WOOHOOOO
Phil said awile ago his only staying on till the end of the year
