    Oh no, he will be sorely missed. Just don’t forget the bleach once you’ve shoved his toxic ass down the drain.

      If you miss Bobby Kotick, you need to aim better.

        At the very least, go to a therapist to get your Stockholm syndrome sorted.

        Agreed, I’d much rather have no Blizzard than the toxic swamp that it was/is(?). I do wish we could have a Blizzard that designed games more like they used to, but minus the toxic culture though, which is what I’m guessing the above comment was meaning as well.

          Blizzard North was separate from the Irvine studio, I believe. Their Diablo 3 was in development for a while too.

          But yeah, I guess that’s what people mean, the old design philosophy. But I can’t help it now. Old Blizzard seems tainted to me. At least starting from the WC3+WoW era.

    I think it is impossible to properly state how damaging his existence was to gaming as a whole.

    I would gladly say good fucking riddance, as if it was a victory, if it weren’t for the fact that he is going away with a fuck ton of money. He didn’t lose anything, he just won. And the whole gaming industry, hell, the whlole world suffers because of it. Because this isn’t just about video gamse. The man is a vile piece of shit. And he just gets to walk away and get away with it. Because money is power. The whole thing is just sickening.

    Maybe he’ll choke on an olive and his useless life will pass before his eyes just before he gets saved by someone he had once fired.

    Perhaps then he would no longer be such a douchebag. I doubt it, though.
