With how shitty Blizzard has been the past few years, this may be a positive. I'm not saying I trust Microsoft but I certainly don't trust Blizzard to anything outside of Warcraft anymore. They even mess that up every other expansion.

Isn't Kotic out after this is all done?

At the very least, that sounds positive.

[–] MadCybertist@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Yes. He’s gone if this goes through.

He's going to have a golden parachute

[–] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

He stands to make $520 million from the sale to Microsoft. He currenly owns over 4 million shares.

Yes - he had that parachute well before the sale started, so nothing new there.

At the very least, even if the toxic mass of bile continues to exist, it won't ruin the workdays of people working on Activision games.

The one good thing that might come from this is a change in their abusive work environment

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that nothing will change for the better.
