Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is not interested in being acquired despite the likes of Xbox and PlayStation actively seeking out studios to purchase.
Nah, nobody is going to cry if the C-suite of Blizzard gets sacked. There absolutely should be more layoffs, in order to fully eradicate the bro culture that enabled Kotick to be as rotten as he was.
ActiBlizz has some fat to trim. People will only be upset if the cuts focus on current developers, which seems very unlikely.
With the state that Activision Blizzard was in before the acquisition, the company being gutted was one of the reasons I supported the acquisition. Sucks for the low level employees that will be caught in the fire, but the leadership absolutely needs to go for multiple reasons.

Everyone is so happy now that Activision is part of Microsoft. That’s going to change the moment Microsoft starts the layoffs. And they will happen.
I only warned you all for the past two years while this deal was allowed to go through.

You warned us and we didn’t listen and we failed to stop the transaction from happening. We are a bunch of fools.
