Blizzard's Activision to make significant

  • To offer a thousand-foot view but Bobby Kotick WoTLK Gold is already obscenely wealthy having a net worth of $870 million. This is an amount of wealth that is difficult to wrap one's mind around. It's enough to go on for hundreds of lifetimes without working another day, and that's before you take into account how investments and interest could generate all the cash that you'll ever require to live comfortably. The substantial payout that awaits Kotick upon the conclusion of this deal isn't expected to make his life significantly easier than it currently be. In accordance with SEC documents, he'd certainly receive a large payout upwards of $260 million once he quit the business, regardless of whether an acquisition took place or it had not. It's really a matter of the rich becoming wealthier. His growth in riches is disconcerting as it is a matter of principle not in the sense of practicality.

    However the acquisition could be the best chance for Blizzard's Activision to make significant and meaningful improvements to workplace conditions as well as studio environment. Microsoft is a huge company with standardized structures that eliminate workplace harassment. we have not heard reason to believe its leadership has not allowed for abuses similar to the ones at Activision Blizzard in severity or scale. In general, Microsoft is generally a great place to workin, definitely relative to the company it recently acquired. Having that culture in place and having it on an upper level of the organization power pyramid should help eliminate bad actors and set clearer expectations of behaviour.

    "[Kotick's pay] is hard to swallow for many. As practical WOW WoTLK Classic Gold matters it's essential to focus on positive actions which will improve working conditions for the employees and the part we can play in making sure that this takes place."
