Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Resigns
After 32 Years, Kotick's Reign Comes to an End
Resignation Follows Microsoft Acquisition
Bobby Kotick, the longtime CEO of Activision Blizzard, the video game giant behind popular franchises like "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft," has announced his resignation from the company.
Kotick's departure comes after the completion of Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, a deal that has been marred by controversy and allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct within the company.
In an email to employees, Kotick said that his resignation will take effect on December 29, 2023. He did not provide specific reasons for his decision, but hinted that it was related to the Microsoft acquisition.
"As we enter a new chapter in our company's history, it is time for a new leader to step forward to guide Activision Blizzard into the future," Kotick wrote.
Kotick's resignation marks the end of an era for Activision Blizzard. He has been at the helm of the company for over three decades, and has been responsible for its growth into one of the largest and most successful video game companies in the world.
