I really don't get the logic in replacing Bobby at all. Split Activision and Blizzard apart, they're big boys who can manage themselves. What is the point in having someone being paid a ridiculous amount of money only to report to Phil after receiving reports from Mike and Rob, instead of just having Mike and Rob report directly to Phil. Would love to see Sarah Bond as Co-CEO of Microsoft Gaming though |
I get the feeling that ABK will keep operating separately just like Zenimax is now, while the role may seem redundant with the need to report to Spencer, the role as the head of ABK probably requires a person 100% dedicated to it as there are only so many hours in a week and I don't think managing close to 50 studios can rely on a single person that would be less than 1hours/week lol. Xbox may give overarching directives but there still is the need for someone to make the day-to-day decision autonomously and with confidence from Xbox.
But you have a point maybe ABK will be dissolved in A B And K and have their respective leader take that role, however, Given ABK controversy over the past few years I see value in appointing someone like Sarah if only in a transition period to put those to rest and protect/enhance assets value.
