In the interest of truth, because that's the most important thing here instead of catchy ragebait tweets, those numbers aren't close to what they are trying to present.

Ol' Bobby's entire package was "in awards tied to a 2016 goal of doubling the company's market capitalisation, and its shares soared last year amid the coronavirus pandemic." As in, they gave him a shit ton of bonuses and award money for how much he kept breaking expecations for shareholder value.

His "salary" was around 1.5 million and then was cut to around 900k after he got that package, probably because he knew he didn't need the money.

But in terms of on-paper salary (which we are using only for the Nintendo CEO) they are almost equal. And I highly doubt the Nintendo CEO recieves literally no bonuses or stock value each year on top of his salary, which would be important for the comparison being made here. But I also don't think its anywhere near close to Bobby's overall either, so the point still does stand.

Kotick is a piece of shit, but things like that "bonus package" is how big businesses work across the board. You meet goals, increase shareholder value, and you get giant bonuses on top of your meager (for appearances) salary. That's why boards of directors and public trading is such a cancer, because it devolves businesses into caring only about them with the product as just a theme.
