"Our competitor online [is] Facebook in some respects. Even though they don't create content, they provide it. There are a lot of new social gaming companies that are emerging and take mindshare - not from our consumer, [because they're] a different demographic. But there's the potential that some of the social games will start appealing to our consumers so we're making a lot of investments in that area.
"But the traditional companies - the Electronic Arts, or Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo or Disney - that make console-based video games, are going to really struggle [in future] to figure out how to get into these online business we're in today."
.................
Kotick used his presentation to claim that Activision is no longer simply aiming to be the "biggest interactive entertainment company" - but rather the "biggest entertainment company". As in, full stop. Wowsers.

Why are they torturing us by placing pictures of this guy's face in every goddamn article on the web? It's so annoying with that round face and the wide, greedy, stupid smile, and the curly red hair ! Hell, i think the only thing more idiotic than his rants is his bloody face.

I wouldn't call Kotick a Derp. He is actually an evil douche bastard that takes advantage from the cash-full derps.

Look mates, I want to get this thing out in the open: I'm as hardcore as a capitalist gets, but this guy. I need to shoot this fucker dead man, I have to get it out of my system. Gaming is a fucking art form for me, motherfucker, stop quantifying it.
Also, online? Facebook is the only thing? What the fuck about Valve?
The guy who shoots Kotick first! should be president.

I think he forces them to always put his goddamn face in every goddamn article. He has to KNOW how annoying it is.
Also i think he has some sort of mental disorder, he just can't shut the fuck up. 'Cause here's another one :

You just gotta love his reasoning.
Let me paraphrase that:
"We already know how the online shit works! Sony, MS, EA? They don't! We do because we got Blizzard and stuff..."

Anyways. Now ex-Bungie VP sends on open letter to Kotick:
http://kotaku.com/5645940/an-open-letter-from-a-former-bungie-vp-to-bobby-kotick
 Spoiler: | Mr. Kotick:
You were quoted saying that Bungie is the last remaining high quality independent developer. As a former executive vice president of Bungie, I need to tell you: If this is true, you're screwed.
Activision and every other big publisher have grown by acquiring independent developers. The industry needs a constant supply of new independent developers to buy because they're the ones creating innovative games that become franchises.
Gears of War. Portal. Borderlands. None of these games re-hashes the same old formulas. They innovate. And, they're made by independent developers, of course.
So, we challenge you.
You've called Activision the industry's online leader. If you think the newest Call of Duty online experience is that innovative, let players buy just the online part of Call of Duty Black Ops and charge them a fair price.
In fact, we'll make you a deal. Let consumers buy just the online part of Call of Duty, and we'll give you a starring role in our new online game, Breach. Trust me, starring in your own videogame would give you huge street cred. We've even mocked up a screenshot to show you how cool you'd look in Breach.
As an independent developer, Atomic can't spend its way to big sales, like Activision can. We have to innovate. So, if you're confident Activision can innovate without independent developers, this is your opportunity to prove it.
Sincerely,
Peter Tamte
President
Atomic Games

This was Bobby's private jet remember. I'm sure many wouldn't like to clean out his toilet.
