Nov 12th 2010 6:25PM (Joystiq)The market spoke. $15 for the map packs was *not* too expensive.
If it was too expensive, it wouldn't have sold gangbusters.
Economics 101 FTW!!
Bobby Kotick on the business of Call of Duty: DLC, Treyarch, Infinity Ward
Nov 12th 2010 6:22PM (Joystiq)I couldn't disagree with you more. This is an *interview* of Kotick. The point of an interview is to get the interviewee to talk at length, so you can get inside their head.
Like it or not, Kotick is, and has been for a decade and a half, a mover-and-shaker in the videogame world. The question I'd ask is why hasn't this kind of interview happened sooner and more often? It's fascinating, and far more interesting that the usual round of cheap photoshops of devil horns onto his head.
As to whether or not he plays games, I'm not sure that's even relevant. Kotick has a long and proven track record of being able to successfully run a huge publisher. Regardless of whether *you* think Activision are a good company or not, their financial success speaks volumes. Kotick is unarguably good at his job, and his job doesn't require him to play games.
