So the only woman to leave lately has been the lawyer who could not keep her mouth shut. We see all these men leaving management level positions, does this indicate a level of misogyny that runs rampant thru the upper levels of Acti/Blizzard. If so just leaving the company will not shield them from being dragged into court and held accountable if they are guilty of misconduct.

according to people blizzard is dying since how many years now?
these kinda doomsayer talk is kinda boring

neither blizzard nor acti will die because of the fact they still make a b load of money and provide work thats the reason neither the marked nor the state will drop them

the prime factor is the marked after all sh*t acti blizz has gone through all the fails and fails they still make enought money so that they make profit money is the key in this buisness money buys them all

      Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2 might soon make a comeback in China, thanks to Blizzard reportedly teaming up again with NetEase.
      The news comes from Core Esports, which suggests Blizzard's game services could be back by the end of March or the beginning of April.
      After 14 years of partnership, Blizzard and NetEase hit a rough patch in 2022, leading to failed negotiations. Consequently, when the licensing agreement concluded on January 23, 2023, Blizzard's game services were suspended across mainland China.
      For more details, you can check out the article in Chinese or find an English translation by Amy Chen on esports.gg.

      According to WSJ, Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard, has floated the idea of buying TikTok to potential partners.
      Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has reportedly shown interest in purchasing TikTok, as legislation in the U.S. threatens to ban or force the sale of the popular app over national security concerns.
      Kotick is said to be seeking partners for the potential acquisition, discussing the opportunity with notable figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The move comes amid growing scrutiny over TikTok's data privacy practices and its ties to China, with U.S. lawmakers pushing for decisive action.
