Investors are concerned with the disparity between the salaries of staff versus that of CEO Bobby Kotick.
As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.
This should make fans attending the ahow event happier as Bandai Namco is bringing some interesting game experiences to the convention.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

Oh please,
The shareholders are only NOW concerned about Kotick getting too much money?
I'm not a genius but I bet this is more along the line of he's getting too much money in comparison to the shareholders as opposed to the workforce.
Because let's be real here, the shareholders had no issue with getting THEIR giant cuts of the profit off the developers backs all these years.
Kotick needs a pay cut for sure same way most CEOs take too much, but these shareholders need to stop this "holier than thou" act like they aren't part of the problem as well.
Just give the money to employees and make cod f2p at this point.
Raising a companies’ cap from 10 million to 53 billion seems to warrant the salary in my opinion. The pay cut should depend on the overall percentage reduction they would expect him to take, plus if any of that would potentially be turned into incentive bonuses under his leadership
I think he should be fired, he fired 800 people last year that made that money so he can get a bonus.
Also I think Blizzard shareholders has the right to vote out a ceo they dont like.
Bobby Kotick is a blight on the entire Industry.
