In recent years, the games media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates the way in which Kotick has used the threat of defamation to reshape the way in which his own legacy has been documented by the press and whether these changes have been made in good faith, or if they're actually being driven by the media's inability to stand by its reporting in the face of costly legal action.
