Kotick's 'Skepticism, Pessimism, and Fear' become custom classes at Modern Warfare 2 event

This week Bobby Kotick established himself as the Bond villain of the video game world with his remarks about "[taking] all the fun out of making video games," and encouraging a corporate culture of "skepticism, pessimism, and fear."

Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward seems to have received the message loud and clear, though its own manifestation of that culture may not be what Kotick had in mind as he ranted. NeoGAFfer Full Recovery noticed custom class names called "Skepticism," "Pessimism, and "Fear" on the projector during this week's Modern Warfare 2 event. We went back to our own photos from the event, and there it is!

We're glad to see that the developers of the potential "best selling title of all time" aren't afraid of Kotick. Or at least that they're unafraid enough to sneak a furtive joke or two. It's still probably all "yes, sir," and deep bowing when Kotick makes an appearance in the office.
