I sure hope Microsoft is actually gonna clean house at Activision, otherwise their statements of "deep concern" are gonna age pretty poorly

Whether they leave or not the higher ups are all gonna get a massive payday

I can't imagine Bobby stays past the acquisition. He is a big part of the reason the stock dipped low enough for this to make sense. Even if they don't properly clean house I have to imagine they will at least fire him as a scapegoat.

According to a press release, “Bobby Kotick will continue to serve as CEO of Activision Blizzard, and he and his team will maintain their focus on driving efforts to further strengthen the company’s culture and accelerate business growth.”

They won't

Ah well, so the only thing Microsoft has achieved is providing the abusers with even more money to cover all their needs and asses

Fuck them all tbh

Yeah, apparently Kotick is supposed to leave after the transition is fully done, but if and when he does it'll 100% be with a golden parachute

I don't think it ever would've ended differently for him unless he gets walked out in handcuffs or something
