Kotick took home $20.2 million in three days.

What do you think he’s going to do, turn money down?

Of course not, and I’m sure he’s worked very hard to get to a point in his career where this kind of opportunity is available to him.

I still feel a bit dirty for having contributed by rushing out to buy MW2 (which I’m loving btw), he just comes across as having no passion for the industry he works in and the products that the company makes. I just get the impression we’re all just a revenue stream to him. I’m sure other folk at his corporate level are the same, he just seems less ashamed of showing it at any opportunity…

Clever boy. The chin(s) suggests that a lot of that money will be spent on doughnuts.
