Is he really an excellent CEO if he allowed his company to sexually harass female employees to the point of committing suicide, covered it up rather than punishing those responsible, and then further bungled the well-deserved PR disaster so his company's good name and legacy would be forever destroyed?

That's your idea of an "excellent" CEO?

Warcraft 3 Reforged
WoW: Shadowlands
Overwatch 2... actually, this one made money
Even Diablo 4 came out at least 6 months too early.
Rampant sexual abuse destroying workplaces.

If we're talking about Blizzard, he's made some serious mistakes as CEO. Even got kicked out of China because he got too greedy. Activision and King seem to be doing well, as someone with surface level knowledge.

Probably hard to deny yeah. As much as I dislike the guy.

He doesn't need to specifically make the money. He needs to make the right decisions, acquisitions, business models, hire the right people etc. for that money to be made.

At least he doesn't try to take sole credit for COD like a lot of other CEO's in his position do. I can at least give him that even though he is overall a ghoul.

If you're gonna make a claim like "he made Activision a lot of money" then yes, I would say he specifically needed to have made the money for that claim to be valid.

That's not really how being a CEO of a company works?

The decisions and strategies he has made throughout being the CEO has made Activision and its shareholders a lot of money yes. More than any other third party video game publisher as far as I remember.

Most CEOs are terrible people.

It's a proven fact that psychopaths and sociopaths tend to do extremely well in the business world due to its extremely cutthroat nature. Terrible people who are perfectly happy to screw over other people on their way up tend to rise to the top.

He bought out a publisher that was facing bankruptcy and turned it into the most valuable and dominant third party publisher in the industry by buying out the correct developers and banking on the right franchises.

So overall yeah.

Oh wow, I completely forgot I made this topic >_>

I posted the OP in a rush and went back to work.

Anyway, most of what I wanted to say has already been said by @megamanfreakXD and @Punished_Blinx

No, that's Kotick being a terrible human being.

I remember when he got a $200 million contract bonus around the same time he laid of 190 employees. This was while Activision was making record profits during the pandemic, too - there's plenty of money for the boss and the company, but fuck those 190 people specifically.

He's only an exceptional CEO if you buy into capitalist propaganda that the acquisition of wealth exists independtly of morality.

Hence

Because as the entire history of capitalism has shown us, it does.
