I can't blame him. I imagine the abuse towards him on Twitter sky-rocketed once the deranking and god mode hacks started and I'm sure he's good on the money situation. And all the people blaming him directly for every problem in the game must get old.
With the amount of money Activision cashed in on Call Of Duty and with Robert Bowling having taken part in the success of several COD games, he will have no problem finding a job. No idea why he resigned though. Probably due to constant verbal abuse/immature criticism from 15 year old boys or the recent development of the modded lobbies/derank lobbies on the 360. Who knows :think:
