Not defending kotick but, isn't that what a big corp CEO's job is? Make money for the shareholders, at any cost? I hate what he's done. But I don't see a point in bashing him for doing exactly what your typical scum big corp CEO does.

No. It's not generally the CEOs job to cover up rapes and sexual assaults. There's a line and Kotick crossed it. Whatever money he made wasn't worth the shit he did. If you participate in covering up for rapists you are not serving your shareholders, you're destroying the reputation of the company as soon as what you have been doing gets out. Which is exactly what happened and led directly to Microsoft taking the company over.

Short term profit is great, but if I was a shareholder I'd rather get a Bezos or Murdoch making sustainable scummy decisions rather than a Kotick or Musk damaging the company's long term reputation and haemorrhaging skilled workers in the process. I believe Kotick is lacking as an 'ideal' scum big corp CEO, as do his workers and Microsoft.
