'This is obviously disappointing behavior from a partner for almost thirty years,' tuts Bobby Kotick, 'but we will not allow Sony’s behavior to affect our long term relationship.'

Microsoft's proposed $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard now looks very likely to go ahead, following last week's news that the.

"Our proposed merger will help us compete in the increasingly competitive marketplace that includes rapidly growing foreign, powerful companies that enjoy protection in their home markets and access to strong talent pools," said Kotick."The partnership with Microsoft will enable us to more effectively compete against these market-leading competitors."

"You may have seen statements from Sony, including an argument that if this deal goes through, Microsoft could release deliberately 'buggy' versions of our games on PlayStation," said Kotick."We all know our passionate players would be the first to hold Microsoft accountable for keeping its promises of content and quality parity.

Why do we give a flying f%* about what the worst person in gaming has to say?

Want to hear my professional take on this? It is obviously incredibly disappointing that this person is still at large.

Kotick, just vanish into oblivion already, no one will ever love you and you will die alone.

And we should listen to the words of a sexual abuser why?

Why isn't Bobby Kotick in prison?

say the one who threatened to have his former assistant killed and he is under investigation since 2021

Well it wasn't Sony, who was trying to one up their partner by selling the company to its biggest competitor.

He’s such a prick.

If I was Bobby Kotic, I wi never talk ever again 🤦‍♂️

Bobby “I Drove a Woman to Suicide” Kotick

While this is a W for Bobby, he should've been fired for all the controversies in Blizzard he was a part of.

sony has a lot of IP to work on!! bring back killzone!

The baby is angry cause someone at Blizzard drank all the milk meant for them.

He drove a woman to suicide

Ain't he got employees to sexual harass and get away with or something?

I'm torn; I can't stand him as a human being... but he's kinda right. 'They might release a broken version to make their own platform look better' is rich from the company that just released an absolutely trash PC port of TLoU Part 1 that makes PS look better by comparison.

MS is destroying gaming since post x360. Enjoy your all digital future. When gamepass is their only proposition you will understand the négative impact on game quality. Look at their 'exclusives'. Btw sony went that road too. Its just begining.

I’m just hoping for the evil corporation to fail! …. which one is that again?

I'm sorry. Who's disappointing behavior?!? The silver lining of the deal, which I've now seen many intentionally misleading about, is that despite the golden parachute, it opens the door to give Kotick the boot. It's not all about the console war. It is wrong on multiple levels!

Sony might've just confirmed the theory that's been making the rounds as of late about their strategy for their PC ports,and them being deliberately sabotaged to get people to buy Playstations..

Was China also a big baby to him too 😂 We saw how that ended

Sony is not being a baby. COD is a big company and PS already didn’t get one of the original MW games. Given that they can expect it to happen again if Microsoft gets Activision. So then getting in between is explained and we can say that Microsoft is doing this on perpous

Disappointing behavior...oh like enabling sexual harassment? Being part of it yourself?

Fire Bobby, pull call of duty from PlayStation for a bit since Sony wants to be a baby about it

Hey Bobby, there’s a kettle trying to get your attention

He wants the money and go

From the guy with no moral ground to stand on... Pffft

Bobby Kotick is my new favorite lolcow

surprised bobby is on microsoft's side considering they are yeeting his ass out once the merger goes through.

Kotick is talking about 'disappointing behavior'. Who? Bobby Kotick of all people...

Are we supposed to just forget all of the sexual harassment issues with Kotick?

what a slimy subhuman. his corpse would barely be fit for compost.

Bobby Kotick complaining about other's behaviors, is a joke yes? Kerri Moynihan is all I have to say.

didn't he try to have someone killed

Bobby kotick ignored the rape company he worked at for years and is being rewarded with this merger

Bobby Kotick drove a woman to suicide

Im also really disappointed in Bobby for still being in charge

Bobby, you threatened a woman with death over a minor disagreement

Tell me more about your moral high ground, Bobby.

Bobby really wants his big payout before more allegation coverups come his way and he's forced to resign.
