You'd be forgiven for thinking that the above headline is taking a liberty or two with a comment from Activision boss Bobby Kotick. Nope. Those words are straight out of the man's mouth.

Think he knows people outside the room will be reading this kind of stuff? Course he does. He just doesn't care.
