Delimon007 while I get what you’re saying, that doesn’t mean anything. This is one of the biggest industries in the world with obscene shareholder returns, massive executive bonuses yet devs don’t deserve to be paid because it costs an arm and a leg? These guys are 100% correct, any dev especially one that can program can easily double their salary by going to a telco or bank. Plus they won’t fuck you obscenely with a crunch.
If Activision can afford to give ginormous sign-on bonuses WHILE their stock price is crashing, this is just further proof that the excessive monetization implemented in their games is UNNECESSARY.
Doing that also shows that they do not care about the company's well-fare. Which is likely gonna upset investors and cause another fall in their stocks
@@prominenz4719 Also the CoD games cost around 50-60mil to make before Black Ops 4. I mean that just shows how much the company makes if they can splash even 10mil on one person. Here's 20% of our entire games development budget
Activision: Guys, games are so expensive to make. Pwease buy our micwotwansactions. PWEEEEEEAAAASE Also Activision: *Gives CFO a 15 million dollar signing bonus*
I think the guy should have got 20 million, at the rate Activision CFOs are dropping I give the guy 2 weeks before he's out of a job. He'll need that 20 mil to hold him over while he finds new employment and will have to hold off on buying that third yacht.
LordCrawlMask No. These guys at the top are scammers and help each other get a new job as long as you are in the IN group and don't piss on their money making scheme.
See that why Bungie did it - they hoped people with forget they are the same as AV/B and blame all the shit they pulled off with Destiny 2 on AV/B.... Bungie quiting is a publicity stun.... Bungie was the one that made all the bad decisions with Destiny 2, AV/B had no say as per their contract. In fact there was a huge scandal when we discovered that it was BUNGIE that demanded AV/B change their contract, to INCLUDE microtransactions in Destiny 2.... Bungie also fired or made some of their best and most experienced people quit. This is not the same Bungie as before Destiny 1... And Bungie quitting? They are just hoping people would forget the shit they pulled of, and blame it on AV/B.....
This thing about Activision is getting crazy. But you know what worries me... Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Isn't this a From Software game published by Activision? What craziness will happen to that game if Activision wants to monetize everything.
Posturing, so much posturing. Display of monetary strength. This guy's first decision was possibily the cancellation of Heroes of the Storm Esports because they knew about the former CFO ahead of time and had to stabilize the situation before he left. So this guy stood up 'fired and cancelled' a bunch of stuff and this is his reward.
Meanwhile late nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata cut 50% of his pay when nintendo wasn't going so good so noone loses their job. Shame on you Activision, shame on you
How unfair is this world? People are getting salaries cut, stopped (as in government shutdown) and some don't even have jobs. Meanwhile, a company gives 1 *ONE* man 15 mil.
That's standard corporate culture, also, they are not giving him 15m, more like 5 (this a lot) and extra 10 if you make company extremely profitable. while performance based stipulations might sound reasonable when you think about larger picture it normally means going super lean (pay cuts and lay offs) and nickel and diming the consumers (more predatory business practices). It's not Activision Blizzard specific problem but general thing. It is very rare that company would restructure itself in a more consumer friendly way. More often than not, they break up , the most profitable parts are gobbled up by some other company, rebranded to remove all associated negatives and to gain more good will. Oh well.
You guys know the Vader Fan Film from Star Wars Theory? It got claimed and monetized by Disney They even threaten SWT to give him a copyright strike with potential of shutting his channel down if he doesn't accept Disney's claim I want to share this with you in hopes of reaching a wider audience and bringing attention to this
What do you mean there wasn't any news yesterday? I heard this story about Activision's CEO bonus yesterday from Yong Yea... But I still had to come back here for the memes.
Publishers, big publishers, seem to become more and more like state-run companies. Their work quality plummets, while managements pays themselves obscene bonuses and instead of improving quality, simply stuffs more and more moneygrabbing into games to meet financial expectations, while quality continuously degrade.
That is exactly right, they are being requested to open up their financial records to determine if any1 actually perpetrated fraud, it actually makes sense whether or not any1 actually did, even if they did it may be difficult to prove due to the fact that EA and Activision both have been shareholders/shares and market value for a while now (but so has a lot of the global market this past year).

go buy other products like Wilkinson instead (unless they are just as SJW driven as Gillette )
the relevance is outstanding.
Activision should've given him 15 million red dots
Would be 30millions dollars
This should have a Gaymen Laming seal of approval and more likes. Ty.
Red dot is not currency but exercise of domination. E.g. to show reviewers whos boss.

Hi, DEFINITELY REAL BUNGIE
Yeet, while the yeeting is good.
That's ill bait, mate. But I'll give it a pass. Just be a little more impactful next time, thanks! Cheers
And iwata cut his pay 50% when nintendo underperformed.
Also good to note he did this to ensure no one lost their job...
Satoru Iwata is a saint
Doesn't the US have laws that would punish them for doing that? So that nobody can complain as to why they don't do it?
