Looks like 30 poll voters are bitter and jealous.
Guy has done a great job for the company, investors are happy with him, and he's being rewarded.
I don't mind because Activision is one of the very small handful of big publishers to not rape us this gen with day one DLC, online passes, etc.

No its just that the workers themselves should have seen raises through-out the board not their CEO getting an 800% pay increase. How would you feel after all the hard work you done at your place of work if at the end of the year your pay stayed the same while your CEO got paid more then you could ever make in your life?

Developers typically get bonuses based on sales and other things. We have no idea what anyone else there is paid. Either way, if they don't want their pay to "stay the same" then don't sign the contract.

Seeing the huge fiasco with half of Infinity Ward leaving, including their studio heads (who made Call Of Duty), it wouldn't be far fetched to think there's been issues with how employees are paid by Activision. The CEO getting such a huge pay rise at the same of such events definitely does strike as questionable if not shady.

I saw that as 2 guys getting tired of working in one place and taking their closest people with them. Activision did withhold bonuses from them, but that was because they were talking with EA. The fact that they even had bonuses coming just speaks to my point. It's not as if these guys work for peanuts. They are compensated well and if their game meets criteria they get a bonus, same as any other publisher it seems.
