      The ratio of sociopaths in leadership positions is much higher than outside it.

      Of all the issues I have with the acquisition, none of them have to do with Microsoft replacing Kotick.

      It can’t be worse. Worse case scenario Activision remains the same cesspool.

      I’m very interested in how anything could be worse. I’m so happy a company bought ActBlizz. Might turn this ship arround just a little bit
