You are not alone.
From the Kotick interview, and you guys know I defend him when he is right (once or twice a decade), but he sounds like an idiot sometimes. They ask him what he thinks the next 5 years will bring for Activision and his answer is, "...who could have imagined five years ago you could be wearing a headset, talking and playing over the internet..." Um, well in 2002 I was playing on my XB, wearing a headset talking and playing over the internet, so in 2005 I probably could have imagined it, since I had already been doing it for 3 years.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileKotick also says some really dickish things about EA. I guess when you are a CEO of a company you have to have this mythos about your competitors being the "enemy", but man, it's just diminishes the speaker when they are so vociferous in their opinions of their competitor.
