"Suddenly, Sony's entire leadership team stopped talking to anyone at Microsoft," Kotick told the FT, reportedly saying that his own calls to"Sony's chief and other executives were not returned".

"I think this is all Sony just trying to sabotage the transaction. The whole idea that we are not going to support a PlayStation or that Microsoft would not support the PlayStation, it is absurd," Kotick added.raised by the US Securities and Exchange Commission following a probe relating to workplace misconduct.

Then what is the point of this deal microsoft?

It’s like he knows he’s a terrible dude and threatening people that he will stay

I guess that's one way to ensure it goes through 😅

How does this affect my life or anyone else’s on Twitter

God damn, I really didn’t need the jump scare of his face on my screen this late. Nightmare fuel

There's that phrase 'A face only a mother could love' I wonder if Kotick's mom is truly able to... 🙈🙈🙈

XboxP3 pease, this is not looking good amongst fans, he destroyed a lot of franchises, please, fire him

He was gonna stay regardless🤷🏻‍♂️

That sounds like a threat from Microsost ffs!

He knows lots of gamers are hole heads who will keep giving him money to keep doing what he loves to do

This is the thing that nearly everyone is ignoring about this merger. While people are whining over where Call of Duty goes or whatever there are actual people having deal with a deplorable, dangerous workplace. Where one their few hopes is Microsoft getting rid of these people

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's definitely a threat. I wonder if we can arrest him on extortion. 'Oh would be really bad if the deal doesn't go through, I'll continue to be CEO'

thank god I was worried the game was going to suck. I'm going to be real. Listen he makes a dry burger but its the same good known quantity that we all know and love. Warzone, classic wow, and many other IPs were under his control PUMPING. Halo is evidence microsoft is a gamble.

We need more specific rogue experts in the world we could all chip in to hire for people like him.

This seems more like a threat than a promise.

'The sexual harassment will continue until moral improves.' -Bobby Kotick 2023 (probably)

Booooooo

Is that supposed to be a threat?

Activision Blizzard... a company actually worthy of protesting. Bobby Kotick is a scumbag and all the people he let harrass other employees are just as bad, if not worae

Why you gotta use this pic, it triggers my fight or flight reflex

Esto es basicamente para que todos lo desarrolladores que demandaron a Kotick pongan presion en que la colpra salga a flote

JayDubcity16 😂 😂 🤣 Stat quo

Rip gaming

OH THE HUMANITY!! PLEASE LET THE DEAL GO THROUGH!

This is hilarious. Basically he is blackmailing the industry by saying he will keep his job if they don't sell. Wow!

It was never a guarantee he would go. If he did he'd get millions from it. If he stayed he'd work for Spence which is what is most likely. I also don't believe anything coming from Fox, Spencer, Kotick, Sony or any of them until it happens. Distrust is at a high. Smell BS too

'If you let it through you're finally rid of me' sounds like great motivation.

Of course he will he knows how to sell trash to people and make the company more money

I've never rooted for Microsoft before

Why

When it falls through.

Great to hear..

No 💩

I don't care, as long as cod stays on PlayStation and get exclusive content & marketing. He's good enough for me if he made those decisions in the past years

Jfc. Just don't lead with this cursed photo.

That is not what we agreed to!! I love capitalism /s

C'est le genre de news pour lesquel j'attends tellement le retour de JBS_Ibonek sur ces lives twitch 🤣

Unfortunately

He was very successful, so why not? That 90 percent of the gaming community fade out anything else but Call of Duty is not his fault but his achievement.😊👍🏻

Did Sony pick up the phone or what, Kotick?

The only reason I'd want him to stick around is to finally take responsibility for the crap he's done over the years

Sounds like a threat. 😏

reading the comments on this makes me realize 99% of the people are kids or people who've never worked a day in their lives. you're telling me, its MS job to clean up Activision for Activision themselves? if they wanna keep him around, then ffs do it by all means.

Is he still making death threats to his employees

lol. This sounds like a potential warning towards regulators to approve the deal.

I hope CMA, Sony, FTC and EU see this and change their minds to let the deal go through. They rather a company continue to sexually harass employees rather than Microsoft clean house. That’s really telling of them

Translation: He’s outtta there if this doesn’t go through

Well in that case this deal better go through

JayDubcity16 Oh, what’s the problem? Is it because Microsoft/Xbox executives can’t manage it properly? 🤣

He lost the China market. Sack him or remove the big bonuses he gives himself. 🤣

Ok. So the investors have to do it.

Lmao now they are really threatening us

This guys’ got blackmail on somebody.

this is quite literally the only reason i want the deal to go ahead
