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.
At that point I would look into moving the company out of CA, that place will only get worse and end up as a portland 2nd attempt.
I agree. Microsoft's first move should be to move the company in-house in WA, where they have enough influence to push the state government around.
That would be fun watching Blizzard deal with an actual Blizzard. Nothing is designed for snow, so people just abandon their cars.
The reason why Microsoft is in Redmond is the company realized how corrupt the Seattle politicians were. In Redmond, the government is basically MSoft. So you have truth there, but I don't know how far that stretch can go.
