Bobby Kotick Hits The Cover Of Forbes, Does Not Worry
Published: January 01, 0001
Activision boss Bobby “What, Me Worry?” Kotick is hot stuff right now, and in Bobby’s world, it doesn’t get much hotter than appearing on the cover of Forbes, wielding a plastic guitar like a battleaxe.
Backing up that cover pic is, of course, a lengthy article on the man. Profiling the rise and rise of the corporate rock [[link]] star, Forbes writer Peter C. Beller does a fine job of telling Kotick’s story. How Activision [[link]] is his baby, how it’s rolling in cash, how Viacom were going to have to [[link]] wrest control of that baby from his cold, clammy dead hands.
But then we get to this bit.
EA also teamed with MTV to sell Rock Band, a shameless knockoff of Guitar Hero that added drums, bass and a microphone to the world of make-believe rock stars.
Probably shouldn’t believe every line Activision PR feeds you there, Pete.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
I enjoy the daily missions and rewards system. It gives me extra motivation to play regularly and allows me to earn more coins and bonus items, which enhances the overall gaming experience.
