Video Game Addiction is why Bobby Kotick doesn’t play them

If you are the boss in one of the most power video game publishers in the world, you wouldn’t be expected to keep off games, right? But sometimes, your passion for the games can actually come in the way of your playing the game, for fear that you would just be fueling your addiction for the game.  This is exactly what’s the problem with Activision Chief Bobby Kotick.  Kotick had come to DICE 2010 to make a presentation, which was greatly awaited. This is when he made a startling admission that he does not really get to check out the games or even give a go-ahead to the products that make Activision so successful.

It seems there was a time in the 1980s when Bobby used to play so much of Defender as well as Modern Warfare 2 that if he got down to playing the game again, he would be unable to carry out his regular responsibilities. This is one of the main reasons why he keeps away from the game, in the best interests of his work, as well as the fact that he is a single dad of three daughters. Video games may be so alluring, but if you get into addiction, the situation can really be less than acceptable.
