Schafer says Kotick is a total prick
Rock and roll!
His obligation is to his shareholders. Well, he doesn't have to be as much of a dick about it, does he? I think there is a way he can do it without being a total prick. It seems like it would be possible. It's not something he's interested in.
Schafer finds it normal that Kotick has to account for himself to shareholders, but not that he has to act like an asshole.Last year Activision tried to keep Double Fine's Brutal Legend from getting released because after some fighting and contracts getting stopped, EA, who did believe in the project, got their hands on it.
In August finally a deal was made so that the game could still be released in October.
He [Kotick] makes a big deal about not liking games, and I just don't think that attitude is good for games in general. I just don't think we're an industry of widgets.
We can approach it like we approach bars of soap, where you're just trying to make the cheapest bar of soap. He definitely has that that kind of widget-maker attitude. I don't think he's great for the industry, overall. You can't just latch onto something when it's popular and then squeeze the life out of it and then move on to the next one. You have to at some point create something, build something.
Schafer added that Kotick only wants to squeeze the industry for money without thinking about the creative aspect. His hope is that the CEO of Activision will soon leave towards another industry. He suggests the weapons industry would be a good choice.We can approach it like we approach bars of soap, where you're just trying to make the cheapest bar of soap.

Kotick and Activision haven't made themselves very popular after Brutal Legend and the entire Infinity Ward affaire. We, however, don't think Kotick cares about that much: gamers are buying the Call of Duty DLC and sequels and shareholders keep rubbing their hands when thinking about all the money they're getting.
