Activision CEO Bobby Kotick will remain on the Board of Directors at the video publisher for at least another year thanks to approval from shareholders. Kotick has been in charge of Activision since the 90s, giving him a long tenure at the Call of Duty publisher. He’s famously stated that he doesn’t play his own games (but also gone back on that by once saying he played Skylanders with his children) and has drawn ire from gamers for years due to decisions made by the company. Some of that comes from how Call of Duty has been utilized by Activision, how it has put once great developers on the support team for the shooter franchise, and let beloved properties like Tony Hawk fade away. Of course, the most notable point of criticism came last year when the company was hit with numerous lawsuits and investigations regarding misconduct within Activision and how it was all being poorly handled.
