The title should be changed, it's Activision Blizzard not Blizzard CEO.
- mikestew 3y agoMake it fit within 80 chars, and I'll see if I can still edit the title. But your suggestion won't fit, and I'm too lazy to have another go.
- Macha 3y agoThis is not just a pedantic argument, Blizzard CEO on its own will lead to a significant number of people assuming a different person, Mike Ybarra, Blizzard's President.

- nozzlegear 3y agoAgreed, I thought it was Ybarra who had made these statements based on the headline “Blizzard CEO”, not Kotick.
- falcolas 3y agoMaking a distinction between "Activision" and "Blizzard" is a distraction. It's "Activision Blizzard". Has been legally for 15 years, and in practice for at least 5 years now. It doesn't matter if it's Ybarra or Kotik speaking now - they're playing by the same book on the same field.
- Macha 3y ago> It's "Activision Blizzard". Has been legally for 15 years, and in practice for at least 5 years now. So call it Activision Blizzard? The difference between Ybarra and Kotick speaking is both one of recency and personal culpability (Ybarra was hired as the cleanup lead, so a reversal on the stance that it happened would be notable in its own right), and of abuses that have gone in other non-Blizzard Activision studios (I seem to recall some controversies about Raven software also?).
- falcolas 3y agoI'm fine with that. My beef is with trying to take Blizzard out of it entirely.
