A bombshell for the video game industry. Microsoft has just announced the purchase of Activision Blizzard for about 70 billion dollars. Although the transaction has not yet been carried out, what is known is that Bobby Kotick, CEO of the distributor, will keep his job despite the company’s recent controversies.
As a Microsoft spokesperson responded to IGN, “Bobby will run Activision Blizzard as he has for the last 30 years. Together Bobby and Phil (Xbox) will work to ensure the transition to this exciting new combined company. Activision Blizzard business will report to Phil after closing.”
The CEO of Activision Blizzard himself has been part of the company’s controversies. He has been accused of ignoring the company’s culture of sexual harassment and abuse and withholding information about it. Regarding this, Microsoft has not said anything directly. Despite this, Phil Spencer indirectly referred to the subject, assuring that “We look forward to extending our culture of proactive inclusion to the great teams at Activision Blizzard.”
for now It is not known what Kotick’s role will be once Phil Spencer becomes CEO, or if you will have a position within the company when the deal closes.
