Weird timing; the "creative strategist" who was there when Elite got it's kickstart.
Four months later, he resigns. :/
Not tying anything in; it's just that it seems a tad-bit suspicious. |

It seems like a fairly brief and cold farewell announcement on both sides, wonder if something else happened to bring this on.
Regardless, best of luck to him, in my opinion he deserves that much at least after putting up with what must have been nigh-on constant abuse for so long about the series and company he was with. |

| Hmm, didn't Josh Olin leave Treyarch last year? Seems these guys are dropping like flies, can't say I blame them, CoD had its run, it was great four, five years ago, but they've slipped, any talent these guys may have is better used else where. Maybe he'll jump on Respawn and go on to help make another game as fun as CoD, CoD2, CoD3 or even CoD4. Many people seem to forget that the Infinity Ward guys started out at EA and while there made what was probably the best MoH game ever, so there may still be hope for them yet. |

This is literally the single best piece of call of duty related news I've heard in years.
I know it isn't entirely his fault for the demise of the modern warfare series but considering he more or less became the spokesman for the series I'm glad he's gone... Just hearing him talk up/lie about the series and defend this thing and that thing has made my blood boil for the last few years.
I know it's the guys job and I also know it's all about selling your product and making money at the end of the day but this guy has done that on the back of portraying himself as a true gamer, one of us, while at the same time blatantly lying his ass off. I can't believe some people are actually defending him and wishing him luck. Are you serious? If you are you deserve the shitty modern warfare games that we've been delivered since COD4.
The further away this particular "creative strategist" is from the next modern warfare the better it will be for all of us true call of duty fans.
He's exactly the type of person Bill Hicks had in mind when he talked about people that worked in advertising or marketing... No integrity whatsoever. |

| There's gotta be something more to this. Even if you don't like COD, you have to admit that it makes a metric fuckton of money with every release. People don't just walk away from that kind of money without a good reason. I'm sure he'll do fine though, he's too high profile to just fade into the background of gaming history. |

Yes he talked rubbish about how good/innovative the games were but he got paid to do that. All the haters point me in the direction of a creative strategist who slags off their own game? You won't find one, his job was to promote MW and promote it he did. In all honesty he deserves better than working for activision I hope he ends up with his infinity ward buds again |

PLEASE DON'T GO TO RESPAWN!!!
I never liked Robert Bowling, for being the 'Creative Strategist', he knew NOTHING about the product he's trying to present to people. I mean, for Call of Duty it really doesn't matter, but it's irritating to listen to him during press conferences and gameplay streams where he's talking like he's a 12 year old discovering a shooter game for the first time-WAIT A MINUTE...HOLY HELL, ROBERT BOWLING IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY 12 YEAR OLDS ON COD!!! HE'S BEEN SELLING COD TO THE CHILDREN'S MARKET WITHOUT US EVEN KNOWING IT
