Bobby Kotick to Leave Activision Blizzard After Microsoft Deal Closure

Bobby Kotick will indeed leave Activision Blizzard after the deal with Microsoft is closed. This information comes from sources at The Wall Street Journal, but there have been no official statements yet.

If the company’s leadership changes, Bobby Kotick, like other directors and top managers at Activision Blizzard, is entitled to payouts. Specifically, Kotick is expected to receive approximately $293 million.

It’s worth noting that all of this is happening against the backdrop of scandals involving “harassment” and “discrimination” at Activision Blizzard, which were reported by employees years later. Due to the scandal, 37 employees were fired from the company, and another 44 were subjected to disciplinary action. Whether Kotick’s potential departure is related to these allegations is unknown. He has been the CEO of Activision since 1991.
