Watch Blizz fire Kotick and become heroes. If there's any hope for the future of the company, it just got a lot better imo.

Ah ok, maybe for a limited time? If I'm not mistaken MS was politically correct in their opinion on Blizz/Act recent issues, but did soft condemn them publicly. I mean there's definitely going to be changes, I have no doubt about that.

They won't clean house immediately, they'll do their own internal review before beginning any overhaul. There will be an overhaul; Microsoft didn't do this just to let them continue business-as-usual. I take this as pretty good news, at least in the medium-term. Likely won't result in any short-term changes.

That's just a signature away from not mattering, as things can change when Microsoft owns the company. Originally Posted by JDL49

There are a few existing threads on this in the appropriate subforum already, and this isn't the correct place for this discussion. Closing this.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
