Have you seen the court ruling against Activision? They have to report all board members to CA authorities and every new major hire has to come with a detailed explanation of why they didn't choose a woman, that, if it isn't good enough, CA can override and fine them.
I don't know how much was struck down for being unconstitutional since then, though.
This takeover needs to go through, there's far too much data in enemy hands if it doesn't.
The data is in enemy hands regardless. I would love to see Microsoft get saddled with the bloated, worthless mess that is AB.
Microsoft will strip out Overwatch and Call of Duty IPs and let the rest die, most likely.
If that's all Activision has, then yes let MS get saddled with bloated crud. As the only company doing well in the stock market these days, thanks to their krakenesque tentacles in many different revenue streams.
Will they do the same with Warcraft? I'd consider that a mercy kill.
