He probably doesn't give a #$%^ about it or about the game, players and employees. Next year he will get another of those bonus
as happened with the lay offs of 800 employees last year.anyway it was just a big win for Bob and what happens to Actiblizz's economy is really disappointing..nice done Bob.

yet nobody complains when actors get paid 100+ million for a couple months work making a movie. And despite the "outrage" will anyone here actually stop playing Act-Blizz games? Cause as long as you do, you support this proving to the shareholders complaints and outrage don't matter cause people will still pay for Act-Blizz games and showing the company they are on the right track.
Bonus occurs on 3/1Blizzard layoffs reported on 3/17I beg anyone posting garbage about the layoffs being due to this bonus to get a grip.
This is sad to hear, give something to the ton of developers who do the heavy lifting: art team, sound team etc.
Well he made a contract which was accepted by Blizz/Activision, and he delivered(one way or the other -leaving out personal comments on the how)Most striking is that this news comes a day after a post made about laying off employees from Blizz.In my opinion the $200 million he gained with this contract clause (if he were human) should'nt be spent on giving him more funds, but rather on keeping employees both involved and employed.So from my end: it is commendable that he dared to put such a clause in his contract, as it was a bulls-eye,and payed off but from a human/society perspective if he should spend this income back into blizz/Activision to stop employees being layed off i would see this investment back into the community/company so it thrives instead of being mowed down.This would given him alot more respect then just the 'hey i scored bigtime off the backs of employees being layed off'.
God that's disgusting. And we're paying for it.
He's making $200M extra, and we're still struggling with bugs from BfA's beta. That's worth criticizing and then some...
His $200 million bonus would have paid each of the 50 Activision e-sports employees that were just fired $40,000/year for the next 100 years! Maybe it's time to quit supporting Activision Blizzard.
