Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Leaves next Week
Dec. 21, 2023In a December note, this Wednesday initially reported viaThe Verge, Activision revealed a mail by Kotick to everyone that talks about his 32-year run at the company, where he brought some amazing game titles to fruition. Some of the major game titles Activision has made since Bobby Kotick joined are Call of Duty, Diablo, and World of Warcraft.
“I cannot adequately express the pride I have in the people who continue to contribute to our success and all those who have helped throughout my 32 years leading this company. We are now part of the world’s most admired company. That isn’t an accident.”-Bobby Kotick
Kotick started as the Activision director and CEO in the year of 1991. Soon, in early 2008, he was crowned the CEO of Activision Blizzard when the company acquired Blizzard Studios.
Future of Activision Blizzard after Bobby Kotick
All those negative issues might come to an end as the new leadership takes over at the home of fan-favorite classics. The head of the Xbox role, Phil Spencer, says, “It’s still business as usual,” and according to him, the normal day’s work will look the same. He also thanked Bobby Kotick for his services to the company in a memo.
“I’d like to thank Bobby—for his invaluable contributions to this industry, his partnership in closing the Activision Blizzard acquisition and his collaboration following the close—and I wish him and his family the very best in his next chapter”–Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox
As there are no announcements for Bobby’s replacement, some of the executives are reporting to Matt Booty, president of gaming content and studios at Microsoft, for now. It is to be seen if the company improves on its toxic work culture, morals, and ethics.
