Oh no... Corporate suite talk! Doomed I say! Doomed!

Oh well. I speak for all gamers when I say that Bobby leaving improves AKB by leaps and bounds.

@Heil68: OMG! One company bought another, and now the purchased company is losing it's C-level executives.

This never happens!

Except... pretty much every time one company buys another. Seriously, bro. You should talk to someone.

Lulu wanted her bag. Good for her.

The sad part of the announcement is this:

"... no changes to the structure of how the studios and business units are run".

Funny how cows over-scrutinize Xbox right when they should be trying to get their own house in order.

So everyone wants Kotick gone, and yet somehow this means the death of Xbox.

C'mon Heil up your trolling game, this is even worse than daredevils stuff and that's saying something.

I wanted Kotick to leave prior the purchase, not after, that way he wouldn't get the bonus for the sale, now he's just retiring with more money.

When I saw the name Lulu, I thought it was the actual GS username @Lulu_Lulu for a second cause he come to SW all the damn time back in the old days.

Anyhow, bye bye Bobby Kotick. Enjoy that long retirement before the Feds come find you.

PlayStation loses their CEO, cancels games, flip flops on GAAS, has 1 first party game in 2023, more remakes than new games, hikes prices all round but its actually Xbox that’s in the spotlight because a toxic head of a studio retires from his position as planned?

You Xbox fannies are struggling with the well-established fact that MS is leaving gaming and consoles. Sony fannies said so, making it true.😏

No. It's where people that have a fucking clue remember that Kotick was and is a disgusting leader that created an absolute shit culture to the point that major shareholders wanted to oust him. He was left in-place until the deal closed and the new owners took over. That's it, that's all.

SW is full of brain dead people.

Laugh while you can. Within 3 years from now, your brand will be disolved like Mixer, and guess what? I will remind you that.

California’s Civil Rights Department doesn’t seem to think so.

https://www.polygon.com/24006044/activision-blizzard-discrimination-lawsuit-settlement

“No court or any independent investigation has substantiated any allegations that there has been systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard,” the text of the agreement reads. The settlement also clears Activision Blizzard’s board of directors andCEO Bobby Kotickof acting “improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct.”

This is the correct, serious response. For anyone that was wondering how to react to this.

Pretty much the only reason Kotick remained was because the board was stacked with friends and yes-men.

How are cows pretending this is an "L"? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

The executives have been fairly toxic. A change was needed.

As for the structure, it's just too early to make any real changes. They need to see how it operates from the inside first and look at the issues. But they'll probably treat them like Zenimax and keep them semi independent.

You won't see any real changes at ABK for a couple of years I predict.

I anticipate alot of restructuring from both sony and Microsoft this coming year. The leak from the insomniac hack shows Sony's looking to cut 50 to 75 people from insomniac and close a studio to re-allocate resources.
