Kotick Doesn’t Care About The Press

That Edge interview just keeps on giving! This time it’s the news that Bob is quite aware that he generates a lot of press but like Angelina Jolie* he does not pay much attention to what is written.

I get a lot of great press, and I get a lot of not-so-great press, but when you start believing the press you get, you’re not going to be as effective as the head of a company, I don’t take a lot of time to meet with journalists, so I think that what happened over the last couple of years is that two or three things that I’ve said got taken really out of context.

If Bob does not read any of the pages of press written about him then he wont mind if I say he is a  total and utter [This section has been removed for fear of legal action, Tuffcub is now on the naughty step – cb].

  1. Kotick has a good head for business. Sadly he mouths off a bit too much but there we go. He sleeps well at night on his vast fortune. It’s a shame he doesn’t operate with a bit more tact but he’s arrogant and it comes with the job. People who are very confident come across as borderline-arrogant but are also usually the same people to make it to the top.

  2. I quite like this guy. It’s fair to say he’s probably not a wonderful example as a human being but as far as doing what he is paid to do (he potentially pays himself actually :S), he’s a superb example and a credit to Activision. He makes his daily bread by making money, not by being liked and he excels at it.

  3. Here’s an interesting article from last month LA Times.. not quite game related but Bobby related..
