Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Microsoft announces more Xbox leadership changes as Activision’s Bobby Kotick departs - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Kotick’s last day is December 29th. Quote 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. Kotick’s departure comes just two months after some big Xbox leadership changes that saw Sarah Bond promoted to Xbox president, leading all Xbox platform and hardware work, and Matt Booty promoted to president of game content and studios, including overseeing Bethesda and ZeniMax studios. Now Booty is getting even more responsibilities with Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, and Xbox Game Studios all under his watch. Microsoft is largely keeping the leadership team of Activision Blizzard in place, with some executive-level exceptions. Activision Blizzard chief communications officer Lulu Meservey will leave the company at the end of January. Humam Sakhnini (vice chairman, Blizzard and King) will also depart at the end of December. A number of Activision Blizzard executives will depart in March, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Yeah the fact that that asshat is able to just walk away, with such a large bag no less, it stings when we should all be celebrating that he's finally gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
