Come for the lost DK game, stay for the awful Studio politics of Bobby Kotick

The tonal whiplash going from Shigeru Miyamoto being worried about Donkey Kong getting rope burn on his feet from grinding on vines in a game prototype to all of the evil things going on at Activision under Bobby Kotick's watch is pretty insane.

You know a video is a banger, when the story about a rejected DK pitch inexplicably features Bush-era war criminals by the end

Amazing how the longer the video goes on, the more evil Activision gets.

This video just reminds me how underrated Vicarious Visions were even before the Crash and Tony Hawk remakes. They were never making the biggest games but you could tell they always gave 100% on every project, even if it was something as silly as Shrek 2 on GBA. You can tell the Bala brothers cared about the company and their quality of work until the very end.

It’s so disheartening to hear <b>just how</b> averse to risk Activision is. They will not do ANYTHING creative or challenging anymore because they only care about profit.

The irony that Activision was originally founded due to Atari employees walking out for being mistreated, and then ended up doing far, far worse.

I hate so much that Kotick simply "resigned" and there was no consequences for his actions, he simply went to his mansion to relax and enjoy his Billions of dollars

I knew Bobby Kotick was evil, but I didn't realize how far this went until today.

The worst part of the Activision Blizzard sale is Bobby Kotick getting away with a huge golden umbrella.

This video is the new Roblox_Oof.mp3. Started as a simple premise about Donkey Kong, ended as a hitpiece about everything wrong with Activision.
