One good thing to come of this (hopefully) is the chance to clear the C Suite people from AKB. I hope all of the AKB employees get what they deserve, which is a new set of higher ups that aren't sexist dickbags.
That's true, tolerating sexual assault is one of the few things dangerous to them.
Why do you assume the higher-ups will be gone? Bethesda's C level seems unchanged
Bethesda's C level doesn't threaten to seriously damage Microsoft's image. ActiBlizz's C level tolerated and encouraged sexual assault.
Encouraged may not be the right word, but they allegedly knew and not only didn't not care, but tried to hide issues from the board of directors. Plus the CEO literally threatened to kill his assistant.

I would say willfully and deliberately turning a blind eye and making sure there are no negative consequences, letting him get what he wants from it is encouragement
Those c suite folks are about to make mega bank. This liquidity event will let them cash out all their stock options. I have experienced it.
That's literally the only reason I'm supportive of this. Super mega corporate mergers are usually bad for consumers, but those fuckwits are so much worse.
Exactly what I'm hoping for.
What's that K for?
King, who makes candy crush and other mobile games
I thought King was a subsidiary, rather than part of the parent company's name. Has that changed?
