    People keep thinking this is bad for Activision. Activision wants this. That should tell you all you need to know.

    Bobby Kotick might quit after the buyout because he’s a power-hungry wannabe-murderer, but there’s zero chance he doesn’t get hundreds of millions in payout no matter what happens. He’s happy about the buyout.

    This isn’t going to affect much of how Activision develops games, except 0 of them will be on Sony hardware going forward, unless they actually honor that deal for Call of Duty, but that’s it. All this does is ensure consumers have less choice.

      This isn’t bad for Activision or Microsoft. It’s bad for everybody else.
