minus-squareSabata11792@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 years agoWith 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.
minus-squareMadison_rogue@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoIsn’t Kotic out after this is all done? At the very least, that sounds positive.
minus-squareMadCybertist@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoYes. He’s gone if this goes through.
minus-squarephi1997@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHe’s going to have a golden parachute
minus-squareKatana314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYes - 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.
minus-squareMadison_rogue@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHe stands to make $520 million from the sale to Microsoft. He currenly owns over 4 million shares.
minus-squareparrot-party@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHe was going to get it no matter what. There really was no path where Kotic got fucked
minus-squareTwilightVulpine@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoThe one good thing that might come from this is a change in their abusive work environment
minus-squareRaji_Lev@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI’m just going to go ahead and assume that nothing will change for the better.
