One good thing to come of this (hopefully) is the chance to clear the C Suite people from AKB. I hope all of the AKB employees get what they deserve, which is a new set of higher ups that aren't sexist dickbags.

That's true, tolerating sexual assault is one of the few things dangerous to them.

Why do you assume the higher-ups will be gone? Bethesda's C level seems unchanged

Bethesda's C level doesn't threaten to seriously damage Microsoft's image. ActiBlizz's C level tolerated and encouraged sexual assault.

Those c suite folks are about to make mega bank. This liquidity event will let them cash out all their stock options. I have experienced it.

That's literally the only reason I'm supportive of this. Super mega corporate mergers are usually bad for consumers, but those fuckwits are so much worse.

What's that K for?

King, who makes candy crush and other mobile games

I thought King was a subsidiary, rather than part of the parent company's name. Has that changed?
