Introducing Bobby Kotick, the man who singlehandedly destroyed the modern videogame industry

A shortlist of videogames this subhuman IRL Goblin has ruined:

>World of Warcraft, beloved MMO of the well-established Warcraft universe. To-date the most popular MMO to ever exist, with rich lore, a unique art style, and up until 2008 had one of the most diverse playerbases of any game, ever. Now turned collect-em-all cosmetic fantasy world that appeals to no one but the mildly-to-severely autistic people that still subscribe.

>Call of Duty, legendary first person shooter game that told gritty stories filled with action, suspense, and heartbreak in its unforgettable campaigns that left players foaming at the mouth for more. Now turned into a soulless arcade shooter filled with lootboxes and microtransactions that has copied the original Modern Warfare's FPS gameplay style EXACTLY for over a decade, milking the low-IQ playerbase for every dime they earn at their shitty wageslave jobs.

>Diablo III, this one hurts too much to even talk about.

The error of his money-grubbing ways has seeped into the business model of every single developer team and gaming corporation. When a highly anticipated game fails to meet your expectations, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE DEVELOPERS that have destroyed your beloved franchises; it's this rich, powerful fuck. The programmers and artists that make the games answer to guys like this.

Ya boilin?

His net worth is 7,000,000,000$
So now you know where all the money went.

And nothing of value was lost

"boilin" doesn't even begin to describe it, user.

hey hey

Bobby Kotick was right about Tim Schafer.

I don't believe any of the slander against him.

so about as rich as the chinese developer tim sweeny?

You fail to comprehend the magnitude of the impact this guy has had to the gaming industry. Your favorite upcoming releases of the near future and recent past have been decimated because of this guy and this guy alone. Wonder why every game has uninteresting gameplay, all inclusive difficulties, lootboxes, and microtransactions, user? Look no further.

Zoomers lol:
>WoW.
>Not a kikefest before Kotick.
>*invents lootboxes*
>*invents cross-promotion DLC*
>*expands and popularizes "paying for your internet twice" meme*
>*expands and popularizes always-online meme*
>*expands and popularizes games-as-service meme*

He was actually completely right about Tim Schafer being a lazy asshole, though

>I don't believe any of the slander against him.
What?
Because Schafer is a dickhead you don't believe Bobby can be one too?

Support a kickstarter and you'll get woke.

Developers need someone like Kotick to kick them in the ass, or they won't work.

>I enjoyed the pre-Kotick kikefest more than post-Kotick kikefest

Some of them aren't bad, user. But the few like this insatiable sociopath that control most of our modern society, they are the worst.

Don't forget to support me on patreon btw

Kill the rich.
And now watch the defense force roll in.

He doesn't work for EA nor is Tim Sweaney.

>fires hundreds of diversity hires at blizzard
>scams the fuck out of cod faggots
how can I not call him based?

Completely irrelevant to the issues OP brought up.

Pay former CFO MORE!

Dubs and based Bobby deflowers your waifu on the mainstage at the next BlizzCon

Encouraging the kikery of WoW was pivitol in creating the gaming hellscape we are in today. When the kike saw the absolute damage he could do through the lense of skinnerboxes, gaming was finished.

>Introducing

Why do we have so many unapologetic newfags?

>blaming our boy Bobby
These studios willingly sold themselves to him, the soulless "infinite grow or dump" businessman.

>don't make a lot of money, but I have faith that this independent could maybe one day make dreams come true

I think you missed the point I was trying to make.

I see now, my bad user. Greentext still applies.

He's saying a single project is all you need to be "Woke" and understand why backing a Project there is a mistake. Like 3.3 Mil or Mighty Failure No.9.

>Reading Comprehension, what is that?

Disregard me, I didn't refresh and now I'm the fool.

Hey hey people

WoW ruined gaming all by itself before kotick ever came along.

*obliterates your favorite franchise*

...heh, nothing personal kid

Todd makes TES6 good and I'll agree

Attached: 1553971102882.jpg (750x750, 277K)

I really like Todd. He's one of the only devs who seems like a genuine nerd to this day.

hard disagree, his eyes don't have the same glimmer when he shows up at E3. He doesn't anticipate fan reactions like he did when TESV was on the horizon. I want to have hope, but after seeing what they did with 76 all bets are off for me, personally.

That's not Tim Sweeney...?

Did the same to TES unironically.

TES had an internal roadmap, and when Todd was put at the helm he still followed that roadmap, until Oblivion where he wanted to spend the entire game making a tech demo on his 'radiant' memes, Oblivion's Radiant AI which was interesting, but completely dysfunctional at release where the only things that remained were the daily pathing AI and the hunger AI.

Then they did Radiant Quests in Skyrim, except it fell flat because the content itself was all shoehorned into the radiant questing system so it all had to be dumbed down so any character at any point could do it once it popped up as a radiant quest from some random guard gossip, when they should have tailored the quests around player skills and have the radiant quests pop up when people reached threshholds in skills and builds rather then having every single dungeon being a draugr or bandit shithole that you could just stealth archer or 2h power attack your way through for level listed loot chest at the end and maybe a dragon word

Good time to use this

I actually agree OP. He set the bar for almost the entire 7th gen and almost every publisher wanted to get the same success. However, years after, turns out the cinematic CoDs past WaW aged poorly.

Not to mention he ousted the original developers of CoD out of Infinity ward and replaced them with his own Yes-men. He had top quality talent that worked under him, but he never understood their potential.

One does not exclude the other, user.

RPGs are going to die aren't they

this unironically would not affect those at the (((top))) and would only give them more reasons to do the shit they do because braindead SJWs still exist and are a significant portion of the population

several years ago I would agree with you, but for a while now I realized Kotick was nothing but a scapegoat. His devilish look kinda helps hating him. but he's not to blame for everything

Now this man I'll never get why people praise. All his games have become worse with each iteration

you're not wrong, but you are also not right. There are too many factors at play to put the responsibility on the shoulders of one single man. But then what could possibly be the cause of the slow degredation of the gaming industry hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
