Bobby Kotick Earned $15million in 2008
Bobby Kotick, president and CEO of Activision Blizzard, has been revealed to have earned almost $15million ($14 950 102 to be exact) during 2008. The details of Kotick’s earnings were posted by business website Forbes and gives a detailed breakdown of his income from 2008. Not only does it show his salary to be almost $900 000 but he also received a bonus of $5million and nearly $6million in option awards.
Kotick’s own comments on the ‘˜low’ price of games and Activision’s inexcusable price hike of Modern Warfare 2 really goes to show how greedy the company is. When a single person is earning this much and still wants to charge more for games, it really makes me question purchasing anything Activision put out.

Bloody ridiculous. And to anyone who tries to use the argument “he deserves it for doing a good job” they can fuck off. As seen with the whole banking crisis these CEOs get money like this even if they run the company into the ground.

IF I was him I would of made 20millon…
