Bobby Kotick really is a douche. Again.

He's made a name for himself as being a complete ass, and I personally have a very dim view of the man, but now he's at it again. Apparently he's 'dissapointed' that no price drops were announced at E3, and feels that console manufacturers should be doing all they can to enable families to afford consoles so that he can sell them his goddamned Guitar Hero and skateboarding games at full price.

The man has some cheek, I mean his company is in millions of dollars of profit in spite of the recession, whereas other companies are hurting, the very same companies he is expecting to drop price on their products. What an asshole.

Wait, has Activision ever dropped their prices on Guitar Hero? Just want to know that one detail that could potentially make this ordeal hilarious.

I'm not sure if they did, or the stores did. But GHIII was going hella cheap around the time Rock Band came out, then again when RB2 and World Tour came out.

I don't know whatever history he has as a douche, but looking out for your own companies interests doesn't seem that crazy to me. 

Well, he is the leader of the new Evil Empire. I'd expect nothing less but complete douchebaggery from him.

KOTICK FOR 2012

" It's not crazy, but it is selfish. He's basically saying the platforms he's dependant on should do all the work in getting him new customers. He's making no investment himself in boosting the overall customer base. "

crazy thing man. companies are just getting more greedy with money.

Thank god he speaks for  Activision , and doesn't run the day to day of blizzard. Man, he probably would have released S.C.2 already just to capitalize on the hype.
