So when do I expect Crash Bandicoot to hit HOTS or get my unlock for my Spyro mount in WoW?
People getting angry over the fact Kotic will get a Golden Parachute if he leaves is kind of hilarious.I doubt there are many CEO's that can say they bought out a dying company for $500k and increasing it's worth over the years by 10.000%, to sell it over the market value for 69 billion dollars.He is a piece of garbage as a person, but his work in the business deserves respect and in my opinion the severance package is deserved as well.
I strongly suspect that when the deal goes through Microsoft isn't going to do anything right off. That would be reckless. They'll move some key execs, particular higher level HR, to "help" with the new corporate structure. Though it'll be to observe, see where the delays in development are occuring, and then suggest changes, leverage resources where they are needed. If it is indeed needed the primary changes won't be to the low level workers unless there are particular ones that are an issue. Higher level management will be quite heavily under the microscope, and at the highest risk imo.
