Sony PlayStation boss Jim Ryan tells federal courts that he believes Bobby Kotick wanted to make a backup deal for Activision in case merger failed.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick joins 'Money Movers' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, how confident Zelnick is in the guidance for fall 2025, and much more.
Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick states every time they establish a price, they want to make sure it's "good news for consumers."
It's the why we close servers after 2 years, why we re-use the same assets every year, and why we bundle our game with enjoyable microtransactions.
Can you please focus on delivering enough quality content to justify the $70 asking price? While I appreciate the idea of over-delivering, it's essential to ensure that the base content itself is worth it. I have concerns that GTA6 might have less single-player content because most of the focus seems to be shifting towards online play and microtransactions
The sleaze oozes out of these gaming CEOs faces. It's honestly disturbing how distorted people look when you've realized how money obsessed they really are. He gives off "in one ear and straight out the other" vibes.
I really don't get it

do they think anyone believes what they say?
is it that being in charge surrounds you by so many yesmen that they get deluded into thinking everyone is like that?
Selling Shark cards and removing content are not exactly "good news for consumers" lol.
The last time they released any DLC worth playing was 15 years ago.
GTA V is so broken and unbalanced that people would rather do stupid cringey stunts with than do heists.
Nintendo of America has posted a fascinating new job opening that could signal significant changes for the company’s future products.
More 'believing' and not necessarily facts, but Kotick wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't have backup plans. Too bad he can't be as good at handling internal studio issues as he is ensuring he gets a backup marketing deal.
He has no shame. Mind on the money and the money on his mind.
But I will say that I thank him for all the delicious information about Microsoft. The two faced lies, the wanting to buy up the industry list, deals to keep games off of PlayStation, the demoralizing statements that they lost the console war, game pass cannibalizing sales, the shady and false equivalency whataboutism... Just delicious.
Somehow, it makes my enjoyment of supporting Sony's efforts to make and release great games and consoles consistently, that much sweeter. It shouldn't. But it does. Makes my firm belief in that the deal should be blocked even more firm.
Kotick screwed anyways imo.
Spencer is the parasitic, bloodsucking tick trying to drain the industry. Bobby is his Co-tick.
*edit - oh man, I apologize. My dad jokes are getting worse and worse. XD
