Lol what? They purchased them because all the bad shit that was happening at ActiBlizz drove the price down and when the transaction is complete the ActiBlizz leadership will be shown the door. This is an opportunity for cooler heads to come in an clean house. There is likely a transition period where Kotick is required to stick around and bring new leadership up to speed before he exits, that’s how most purchases of large companies go. The small private company I worked for was purchased by a much larger public company, a contractual part of the purchase was that our original private owners needed to stay on the payroll for two years to transition leadership to the new owners. They were let go 2 years and 1 day after the purchase. It’s completely normal.
