Let me have 700$ out of that
$700 or $700,000?

Good for him. The company is doing great so it's leadership should be compensated for it.
Even though I don't really hate Activision, Koticks face just gives me the creeps...that joker style smile and dead eyes..brrrr

I don't understand why he makes any money? What is he doing that benefits the developers that his company nurtures or the consumers that buys their games?

He calls the shots? And some of those shots just so happen to be huge, Call of Duty and Skylanders.
That would be an illegal amount of money

Wasn't he asked to be the Chairman of Coca Cola or something? He knows how to turn on the profits.
Edit: Oh, he is actually a board member. wow.

Just a mesely 700$ thats all
Are you joking? He is CEO of the most successful videogame publisher/development houses in the world.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say he's probably responsible for helping to run an incredibly large video game publisher that makes a lot of money.

I hate to say it but other companies, not just in gaming, need to go to a seminar with him. He just "gets it".
Moneyball was fan-fucking-tastic.

Not surprising, he runs a very profitable company.

Activision seems to be the only well-managed videogame company these days (looking at you Square Enix and Capcom). Not that I like their games, but gotta acknowledge the fact.

Why in the world are you on GAF? Go get yourself an island and chill with some champagne.

Damn no wonder he and his ilk view secondhand games as the ultimate evil. Poor guy makes barely enough money a year to live off of. Hell if I were that close to poverty I'd resent those even higher up the poverty scale enjoying the results of my hard work without paying me fair dues.

they basically seem like the only publisher regularly extracting large sums of money out of this (console?) biz anymore.
too be fair, having the baseline of recurring revenue of WoW helps a ton with that, versus a company like EA.
You could also argue as I have COD is basically the WoW of consoles, although I think it's much more susceptible to losing it's grip than the former.
