Ep. 78: Bye Bye Bobby and Doc!
from The Blacklisted Gaming Podcast Hosted by BLGP
Holy hell, what an episode! This week we say goodbye to our good pal Doc, as he has his final in person episode before shipping off! But also, we say goodbye to the good ole Bobby Kotick! Well..... soon i should add. Microsoft acquired Activision/Blizzard this week for a whopping $68.7 BILLION! Making this the largest acquisition in gaming to date, it's expected that many changes will be made at Activision in the coming years before the deal is finalized. But what does this mean for our buddy Bobby? Bobby Kotick responded to questions about not only why this deal was made, but his future with the company. After a bunch of non answers and beating around the bush in regards to his future, it's safe to say that the workplace culture was a big factor (though he denies it) and says he will stay as long as he is needed once the deal is done. Bobby wasn't without controversy though (shocker) as reports have come out that he attempted to buy Kotuku and PC Gamer in order to shift the narrative of both Activision and himself. You know, what billionaires do when they get heat.... buy the media and manipulate the narrative. It's these topics and more folks! Doc, we will miss you buddy. And hopefully we will see you visit soon! Bobby.... you wont be missed and you can go f**k yourself! Happy Hump Day y'all!
