The investment group CtW has spoken out against the terms of Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick s contract extension, arguing that a number of other unaddressed provisions more than make up for any pay lost in Kotick s recent 50 percent salary reduction and urging shareholders to vote against the package.
Kotick himself regularly earns in the millions from his role as Activision Blizzard s CEO, earnings that often veer into controversy when, for example, the company opts to lay off hundreds of developers during years of record earnings.
Even outside of the game industry, Kotick s pay, its relation to median salaries at Activision Blizzard, and shareholder opposition for his pay packages have landed him on lists like As You Sow s Most Overpaid CEOs multiple times.

Ubisoft will transition to a hybrid work system after the pandemic
Assassin s Creed maker Ubisoft intends to implement more flexible working arrangements post-pandemic.
In an email published by the company, the recently appointed chief people officer Anika Grant said the majority of Ubisoft staff will be given the opportunity to balance home and office work via a hybrid system.
The company said its new framework is based on learnings from the past year and feedback from employees, and indicated it s willing to refine its current approach using a test and learn strategy. In the future we will embrace a hybrid and tailored approach to work arrangements. This means many of you will be able to balance in-office work with work from home, explained Grant, who indicated the company is keen to avoid a one-size-fits-all system.
