It's even worse than it sounds as well. This is the email that he then publicly called "tone deaf" while not owning up to writing it himself. The man is a huge sack of shite.

Better to write activision in the subject, else it could be the name of a football player.

We all knew we was the typical corporate parasite but wow, the WSJ article is just something else. The piece of crap actually told an employee he'd kill them. Pure distilled evil, he and the board ghouls that are circling wagons around him already.
Sad thing is he's probably too rich to face any sort of consequences.

Like a lot of these ghouls, a huge amount of their net worth is in stock, but my guess is he started 'exercising his options' the moment the news stories started circling...

He's disgusting and always has been. It's so nakedly stupid that the board is still backing him. All they are doing is tanking the stock at this point

Now he's losing them money with this scandal, lawyer fees and investor confidence. Their stock has nosedived. Maybe now that he is hurting their bottom line they'll do something about it

As long as people continue to give Activision/Blizzard money this won't change. He makes money for 'the shareholders', so f all will actually change except maybe a bit of pocket money as a fine will eventually be paid. As soon as the company doesn't make $$$ though, he might be gone. Ah well, one can only dream.

Seems that some shareholders are pushing for his resignation and of two board members.
