Is Bobby Kotick the ultimate villian? The sale basically fell into MS's lap because of his misconduct and Those stories and their lawsuits along with the negative fiscal outlook all spelled a scenario where the board could wanted to remove Kotick from leadership, a scenario in which he'd wind up with nothing, so its very easy to draw the conclusion that Kotick sought a buyer in Nov. 2021 purely out of self-preservation/self-interest. However, ATVI is just not in that position anymore though - the bigger law suits have been settled or dropped, D4/OW2 launched and are bringing in revenue, and CoD is still trucking along. And on top of all that, they just got the right to $3b, for free.
