Bobby Kotick Is Out as Microsoft Takes Control of Activision
Tom Warren and Ash Parrish, reporting for The Verge last week:
Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is stepping down officially
December 29th. Microsoft has not appointed a direct replacement
and instead has rolled the suite of Activision Blizzard
executives — including Blizzard president Mike Ybarra,
Activision publishing president Rob Kostich, and Activision
Blizzard vice chair Thomas Tippl — under Microsoft’s game
content and studios president Matt Booty.
That door finally did hit Kotick’s ass.
