DICE 2010: Watch Bobby Kotick Be…Kind of Nice

Posted by raymond padilla on 22 February 2010 9 Comments

You’ve read my notes on Bobby Kotick’s DICE 2010 presentation, now watch it for yourself! See Activision’s lord and master explain why he doesn’t play games anymore, admit that not buying Harmonix was a mistake, and come off as…kind of fun. After you’ve see Kotick live, I want your opinion on his performance. Half the people I spoke to at DICE thought he was being genuine, while the other half thought his whole schtick was staged. What side are you on?

Hey… I recognize that video player!

@N8R Ha! You should. G4 was the official video partner for DICE and the guys/gals did a great job with the content.

thundercracker says:

you run into any of those guys?

@thundercracker I saw Wade, Patrick, Andrew, Neil, and Morgan. I chatted with Sessler for a little bit.

@topic

He did seem genuine and very down to earth. I wonder if someone told him that he comes off the wrong way and this was his opportunity to turn that image around.

thats cool ray, much respect to the sess…everyone else not talking to you still…like you pulled a "ronald mcdonald" scam on them

"cant buy me love" analogy

scratch number 533 off the bucket list

@tokz_21 His reputation is interesting. Gamers hate him. A lot of developers dislike him. Activision shareholders love him. I'm sure some of his rep is deserved and some of it is overblown.
