If Bobby Kotick gets the boot, I'm all for it. I do hope it will bring a culture change at Activision-Blizzard but I'm not holding my breath.

Again, I don't see how bring culture change is sound reasoning for cultural change at Activision.

• Fixing a problem by allowing another problem is not progress. 

Starting new studios with big budgets backed by the biggest wallet in the world (MS) and poaching those developers from the clutch of Activision sounds like a better plan for everyone, and this is just a quick example of how you solve a problem for workers. Many better examples out there for sure. 

Well if they did that they wouldn't have all the IPs that come with Activision-Blizzard. That's a big part of why they went for this transaction.
