Donos - I think the issue is that many don't agree that this is in fact a good business practice (there's no successful precedent for example), which is why they accuse him of being a greedy arsehole. Further, Kotick appears to understand little about gamers and seems oblivious to the extremely negative reaction he's getting and will continue to get if he keeps harping on about this new business model. That he presides over a company that fires employees who are due substantial monies results in an impression of a person who actually isn't making good decisions for his company (at least not in the long term). Alienating your customer is never a good business practice.
Is Kotick really trying to argue that the gold subcriptions have more than doubled since his COD game came out? What utter bullshit. Again, Kotick appears to be a man living in another reality.
