"No more Kotick" would be a pretty fucking big benefit.

That's one way to put it. Obviously, Microsoft is going to save this sinking ship. So they may have to kick out ABK's board after the sale happens.

For real, MS aren't just buying a studio, they are buying franchises and IP. There is going to be a major restructuring and it will be interesting to see what they start to put out in the years following.

Not happy with him getting a huge payout from this deal, but fuck that dude, he needs to leave, now.

The safe space for the alt-right, that Blizzard has been, is about to have a big shake up. I’m excited to see the fallout in the next few years.

Not if they decide to go whine about it in the streets, or across Reddit.

They don’t have much success in the streets now that we know to watch for their Uhaul rentals and they already whine on Reddit.

The stink of a nerd cluster in a hot uhaul would be unbearable. Ass-rot and broken dreams sounds hard to wash out.
