Microsoft will most likely become a destination employer for a lot of devs out there

And all of this while they still have contractors and a hiring freeze...

The contractor situation, idk when that will ever be resolved since that policy runs through the core MS as a whole. 

Hopefully the hiring freeze will end by the time the deal closes. Why bother making your company as desirable to work at as possible and not be able to do anything about it lol

Don't think the hiring freeze affected Zenimax since they're technically treated as a separate entity, I'm speculating there but when Xbox's hiring plummeted to near 0, Zenimax still had hundreds of jobs available and I know in many ways, Zenimax is a separate entity, so Activision-Blizzard will likely be the same.

There's stuff like, Zenimax's HR being different to Microsoft's and their employee benefits being different because they're under Zenimax and not Microsoft, it's weird. But then it seems like Zenimax is being made to abide by Microsoft's union contract too so, Lol. I don't know, I just know the hiring freeze didn't touch Zenimax at all, Lol.
