Bobby Kotick Lands New Role at Bungie After Departure
Alright, so listen up, y’all. There’s this fella, Bobby Kotick, yeah, that’s the name. Heard he was a big shot over at that Activision Blizzard place, you know, the one with all them shootin’ games and whatnots. Been there forever, they say, like 32 years or somethin’. That’s a long time, even for a stubborn ol’ mule like me.
Anyways, they’re tellin’ me he’s done there now. Steppin’ down, packin’ his bags, movin’ on, you get the picture. Guess he got tired of bossin’ folks around or maybe they got tired of him. Who knows? These big city types, they do things different than us country folk. We stick to our land, our chickens, and our biscuits.
But here’s the kicker, see. Now they’re sayin’ this Bobby fella is gonna join up with Bungie. Yeah, Bungie, the folks who made that Halo game. My grandson, he plays that game all the time, shootin’ aliens and whatnot. Loud as a rooster in the mornin’, that boy is.
So, what’s Bobby gonna do at Bungie? Well, I ain’t exactly sure. Probably somethin’ important, seein’ as he was such a big deal at that other place. Maybe he’ll be tellin’ them what kinda games to make, or how to make ’em better. Maybe he’ll just be sittin’ in a big office, countin’ his money. Again, who knows? Them rich folks got ways we don’t understand. I reckon it’s like askin’ a chicken how to fix a tractor, just don’t make no sense.
They’re sayin’ he helped sell that Activision Blizzard company to Microsoft. Microsoft, you know, the computer people. Bill Gates, that fella. Heard he’s got more money than all the farmers in this county put together. Anyways, Bobby helped ’em buy it, and now he’s movin’ on. That’s what I heard down at the market anyways, old Maggie told me she heard it on her boy’s talking box.
- He was CEO for a long time. That’s what they call the top dog at a company.
- He worked at Activision Blizzard. They make video games.
- Now he’s goin’ to Bungie. They make video games too.
- Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. That’s a big deal, I guess.
This all happened in December, they say. Right around Christmas time. While we was all busy bakin’ pies and singin’ carols, Bobby was makin’ deals and changin’ jobs. Different worlds, I tell ya, different worlds. Makes you wonder if them city folk even know what a good ol’ country Christmas is like. Bet they ain’t never had a proper squirrel stew.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. Bobby Kotick, big shot at Activision, now goin’ to Bungie. What it all means, I ain’t got a clue. But I reckon it’s important to somebody, somewhere. Maybe them gamers, them young folks who like to shoot things up on their TV screens. Me? I’ll stick to my garden and my chickens. That’s a world I understand. And my soap operas. Lord, those young girls get into so much trouble. Always got a fella chasing them and yelling too much.
Maybe this Bobby fella will make Bungie better, or maybe he’ll mess it up. Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, life goes on. The sun still rises, the chickens still lay eggs, and I still got bills to pay. So, I ain’t gonna worry too much about Bobby and his fancy new job. I got my own problems to deal with. Like that leaky roof on the barn and that darn squirrel that keeps eatin’ my tomatoes. Them tomatoes are just so plump and juicy this year too, it’s a crying shame. Maybe I’ll get one of them fancy traps they sell over at the general store. That might fix the problem. That or maybe some buckshot from my Pa’s old gun. Ha! That’ll teach that squirrel to mess with an old woman.
Anyhow, that’s the story of that fella joining Bungie or whatever. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go check my hen house before those foxes get to them again.
