Kotick is still in charge whilst the acquisition is complete. He'll stand to make around $380m on the deal.
I imagine he'll be told to fuck off the minute it's complete.
The note from Phil Spencer on the acquisition contained a lot on culture / inclusion etc. Can't imagine they haven't thought long and hard about turning that part of AB around.

I'm not across all the smoke that's come Kotick's way for the frat boy/sexist/racist culture he fostered/protected at Activision, but it rubs me the wrong way, he's gonna get such a big payout for basically enabling and overseeing really bad management at his company.

MS is all talk no action. Phil himself has a history of following and promoting toxic communities. There was a whole bunch of surrounding story for this but essentially MS did nothing while still promoting a very abusive "content creator" who ran a community https://www.fanbyte.com/news/xbox-brazil-fires-host-because-she-received-too-much-harassment/

Wonder if Microsoft is going to settle the multiple lawsuits against them, or actually make some lasting changes in the culture over there. Seems alot of money for a developer whose reputation is as low as there's is, despite the quality of the IP they've produced.
