Madness. This bit is a shame, though:
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick will retain his role, and he and his team will maintain their focus on driving efforts to further strengthen the Santa Monica, California, company’s culture and accelerate business growth.

Bobby heads a company teeming with sexists and awash in lawsuits over sexual misconduct. Bill was discovered to be besties with a convicted pedophile and flew on the Lolita Express multiple times. Birds of a feather, eh?
