Unless an official announcement happens saying the excess salary will be turned into lower employee benefit and wages, this is likely a temporary stunt that will quietly reversed later.
If I just got a $200m bonus I would gladly work for free.. I wouldn’t need any more money that’s enough money for 100 life times otherwise it’s just pure greed
It's subjective. People look at Bobby and get upset because of Activision and Blizzards direction. Others look at Elon Musk and think he's doing great things.
Lol, that's probably the worst comparison ever. Musk is pretty much a pioneer in his domain. Kotick is in the business of looting his company until the end.
On what fucking planet is 200 million "subjective"? He has more money than you, me, your extended family, and everyone in your entire DNA chain throughout history has had and will ever have. This man has enough wealth to effectively eradicate homelessness in the United States. He could give 99% of his money away and still be filthy fucking rich enough to have more money that 99.999% of the human population.
Subjective in that CEOs see bonuses and raises while devs get laid off and monetization creeps into ever lower quality games consumers are only expected to buy?
We hate him because he chased off everyone at blizzard and put in his bean counters and thats why Word of warcraft is going to hell. That was hundreds of millions of dollars of subs a month and bobby dumb ass managed to mess even that up no wonder bungie wanted to leave .
As long as he runs the company in the greed filled ways he has, they'll find ways to keep him at the top. Hate for the company or no.
The guy just brought in 200 million. The halving his salary means little in the grand scheme of things and, as the article states, he could actually make even more.
He’s been the ceo of activision for 40 some odd years lol. If you invested in activision 40 years ago you would be filthy rich too. He’s not going anywhere because he makes them a stupid amount of money. It’s not complicated or corporatism. It’s just a corporation lol. That’s how they all work. Corporatism is when the government props up corporations and banks with welfare. The only thing propping up activision are idiots who buy Mtx. Is it greedy to take money from stupid people?
I’m indifferent on the guy personally. I don’t buy many (if any) activision or blizzard games so it has no impact on me. I just find it funny how people bitch and don’t know the first thing about what he does or has done to make that kind of money. He obviously gets a share of the profits. If the corporation he runs makes 2 billion dollars his share will be sizable. It’s not complicated.
If it was a PR stunt it failed lol. He cut his salary and bonus in half and people still cry. Why even bother? I wouldn’t have gave up anything.
It's absurd he makes this much money for a failing business model. But it is what it is, the company decides what to pay who and for what work; the alternative would be much worse. Be careful what you wish for...
If Bobby knew what to do with money he could gain more than he ever could here without working a day in his life again....unless he didn’t save any of those crazy earnings and burned it on hookers and blow.....Bobby just might do that. He has that hookers and blow look face to him. You know. That thing you can’t define but you know. Yeah
This company is mostly Walmart level sh$%. At this point the damage will take decades to mend.
His bonuses also got cut, so not really. They cut his salary and bonus potential as well.
If I just got a $200m bonus I would gladly work for free.. I wouldn’t need any more money that’s enough money for 100 life times otherwise it’s just pure greed
so, a pay cut that includes earning more than the pay cut somehow?
Halves his salary and bonus, people still bitch lol.
