It'd be brutal if he was fired, Lol. Like, before the acquisition was announced, everyone thought it would breeze through, it's a miracle that Sony got as far as they did. Nobody expected regulators to be this tough. Not even Microsoft themselves. So I'd be shocked if he was fired, although he has said a bunch of dumb shit throughout the process, that will only be temporary negative PR.
I'm not a fan of him though, Herman seems like a cool guy but Jim Ryan just screams peak corporate suit, Shawn Layden was a lot better, if Shawn wasn't working for Tencent then I'd have liked to see him take over Activision-Blizzard if they don't split their structure. Jim is a good businessman though so I can't see him being fired no matter what, most of ABK will remain multiplatform either way, Lol.
Some of the drama is funny, sometimes I wish we could have the harmony back, I don't think we'll see Phil/Ryan/Bowser on stage together, Lol, but then it feels like the harmony was contingent on Xbox staying in the dirt, Lol.
