Tales of the Aggronaut
Microsoft letting Kotick go first thing proves how absolutely terrible he is. Microsoft won’t even keep him. #actiblizz #Kotick

So the #Microsoft/#Activision buyout finally went through.

I'm in two minds.
On one hand: more industry consolidation = #monopoly = bad thing.

On the other hand, #actiblizz has been particularly the worst with a culture of sex-pesting that led to at least one actual death. I don't think microsoft will put up with that shit (bad PR), and next. year Kottick is gone.

I may actually be able to end my boycott ! I wonder if #WoW is good again ?

Whenever Microsoft wins, we all lose... #FTC #ActiBlizz

@massivelyop #actiblizz and bobby kotic continue to lie about fostering an environment of terrible abuse in direct contradiction to their own offical admissions of fostering an environment terrible abuse.

And they pay no US taxes yet get a US tax refund.
