I'm not gonna lie when I say Matt Booty taking over Activision might be the thing that kills the company. We all saw how he handles/mishandles Xbox. Bobby Kotick was a at the helm for all of activision's corporate growth and knows COD in and out.

If Sony doesn't make a COD clone and start pushing it on the Playstation store then they're daft. COD/MS can only grow because Playstation allows it.

Matt Booty is now in charge of XGS, Bethesda, and ABK. What an absolute disaster this is going to be.
This seems like an unsurmountable job. How do you go from managing the barebones XGS to that + two of the largest publishers in the world? People love to shit on Kotick, but I don't give a fuck about who he is personally, he stood on business and built one of the most successful publishers in gaming.

It's simple: you don't. These people have fuck all idea how to run these entities, so they just wing it. Once you reach that far up the ladder, you get rewarded when you're good and when you're terrible, so it doesn't matter.

No that was Florian Muller aka SoloKingRobert and he got $0 for all of his shilling, campaigning and outright FUD.

Couldn't of happened to a more deserving sack of crap.
Are you sure he got $0? He was still campaigning for Microsoft in the Android vs Epic lawsuit. He's getting something out of it for sure.

Microsoft is just a lens to show how corporate america/the elite work. Once you have enough money you can buy anything and any court with no pushback and put yourself in charge of it. It's called failing upwards.

People/bots cheer on Xbox on forums but it's sadder when you realize that the corporate takeover of America is why we're all living in a dystopia.
