What? They're already doing that? Cool. I think you mean Chinese companies will pull away talent by backing new studios set up by people leaving. I expect we see a few early next year.

TwinIon Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What a scumbag. By far the best part of the MS acquisition will be finally getting rid of Kotick.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 California Lawyer Quits Over Allegation Newsom Meddled in Activision Case (Bloomberg) Quote A top lawyer for the state of California has resigned, accusing the governor's office of interfering with a discrimination lawsuit against Activision Blizzard Inc. Melanie Proctor, the assistant chief counsel for California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, said in an email to staff Tuesday night that she was resigning to protest the fact that her boss at the agency, Chief Counsel Janette Wipper, had been abruptly fired by the governor. Both lawyers had already stepped down from the Activision lawsuit earlier this month without explanation. A representative for the two attorneys confirmed that Proctor had resigned and Wipper was fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
