Dubious Quality - The Self-Evaluated Genius Of Bobby Kotick. Thanks nin.
No one seems to be noticing the incredibly obvious analogy here, which is oil. Successful oil companies, even as they pump oil from successful wells, are always conducting research into additional drilling locations, and they drill new wells, even though many of them will turn out to be dry or of almost no commercial use.

They do that because even their highest-producing wells have limited capacity.

Sure, maybe it's not limited right now, but eventually, the oil pumped from a well will start to decline. And there have to be new wells to replace that production.

That's not how Bobby Kotick does business.

What I'm getting at is that people are complaining about Kotick not bringing any new ideas to the table... that's not his problem. All that matters to him is that he finds some guys who are doing work that he can make some money off of and buy out their operation. That's how they get their next revenue stream, and it's not unique to Kotick or Activision.

Ha! im referring to how stupid you are - way to be stupid, dumbass




Go forth, and kill!
