Activision’s controversial CCO will step down ahead of Microsoft’s proposed acquisition, it’s been confirmed.

which “presented a distorted and untrue picture of our company, including factually incorrect, old, and out of context stories”.

Her comments, which formed part of Activision Blizzard’s combative response to the lawsuit, contributed toof working conditions at the company and a loss of faith in its leadership. Later, Townsend drew significant criticism for using her Twitter account to tweet “the problem with whistleblowing” in a message linking to an Atlantic article on the subject.

After being flooded with responses, Townsend reportedly started blocking Activision Blizzard employees on Twitter and later

Man, I'm looking forward to this acquisition, especially since Microsoft said they'd be down to make more Crash and Spyro. Also, we can finally have Activision's teams working on way more than just COD again, finally. Whether it's good or bad, we'll at least have some variety

Im just waiting for the Ps fanboys to cry about and 🤣🤣🤣 not a xbox fan but i just like to see fanbase about console war go nut

Oh come on, people are acting like a pack of mobs over this thing and they wish this guy would get literally burned at the stake because in his company there were a bunch of jackasses which he probably didn't even know personally.Let it go there are 1000 worse things happening...

Once Microsoft buys them, Kotick better be out.

Bobby Kotick next please

Until Kotick is removed, nothing else matters.

GOOD THING OR BAD THING FOR MICROSOFT?

God... I can't wait for them all to just get dropped like a hat. Sad that her and Bobby are still gonna be on the board somehow... I hope they get dropped really soon

Bobby should step down, off the far end of a long dock

Recognize and Stop Hazara Genocide In Afghanistan StopHazaraGenocide

Okay cool can we also get rid of Bobby Kotick? Please and thank you.

Now we just need confirmation of Kotick's firing once the deal goes down.

What does this mean for the deal?

Isn't Bobby the problem tho?

Good maybe they can make a decent game after a few more changes

The butthurt from Sony. Pathetic

Why is Robert still there tho?

Who tf cares about Frances Townsend.

Microsoft cleaning house already… good

It ain't Kotick so who cares lol tf?

Now kick out Bobby

When Bobby?

They ain't gettin rid of Ol Bobby. Ppl gotta realize this Accusation ain't nuttin more than M$ Gettin that EZ MMO Money. That's what it is. Owning everything. Ain't nuttin changin. They like Ol Bobby. This is like if the NFL bought every TV Network.

The whole company should be stripped by Microsoft. ATVI_AB is a thieving company. I shouldn't have had to use my states attorney general for consumer protection against them, but guess what, I did.

This thing with Activision Blizzard, its still all talks, until i see it actually get confirmed for the acquisition. I want it to go through already

It must be getting close to closing

Is this a good or bad sign for future call of duty’s ? Even being acquired from Microsoft. I wonder if there will be a PlayStation competitor in the near future 🤔

Good!

So this is a sign she did something wrong. What she was doing was just hate and she did her job wrong and blocking people too. And so its gonna get Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard more easier.

1 down, 1 to go.

kacex y elgranqenk , estas son muy buenas noticias para todos.

“While Townsend is stepping down, she will act as a senior adviser to the company’s board and chief executive, Bobby Kotick.” Whole lot of nothing.

The amount of horrible people in leadership positions at Activision Blizzard is astonishing! Definitely one of the worst being bobby, hopefully Microsoft will drain that swamp. The lawsuit revealed some horrible workplace conditions & awful harassment occurring at Activision.

Good, I hope all the corrupt a-holes that were supporting Bobby Kotick follow suit, guessing this was one of them!

Dude should’ve been gone a long time ago regardless of acquisition.

Who cares

Bobby has to go when the deal is done. This man is the worst and the fact that he was in the Jeffrey Epstein phone list tells alot about the guy.

Dont really care, i dont work there.

Now have Bobby leave the company

“Microsoft will fix them” Activision slowly fixes itself First unions for Raven QA testers and now this, at this rate Bobby Kotick will leave before Xbox ends up owning them lol.

Activision Blizzard again showing they are committed to covering up sexual harassment.

If Microsoft doesn't get Activision it might go down hill Activision has become lost

Honestly untill Bobby Kotick is completely removed from any affiliation, I just don't care who stays and who doesn't. Untill that happens nothing is 'fixed'.

last year all gamers hated Bobby but now that Activision is going to be acquired by xbox some gamers want him to stay and fuck with employees because they will rather have devs be mistreated than xbox owning them

I didn't know there was another controversial figure in Activision besides Bobby Kotick...

This isn’t the “controversial figure” we were hoping for.

GKJJ

Stepping down to still work for Kotick so she ain’t going anywhere really 😂😂

What is going on with this man 🤦🤦🤦🤦 just make it happen Microsoft!!!

Well, she's being shuffled around. Same company, different position. Still the same person.

I thought this said CEO at first. Goddammit. Still good news, though.

This was said a long time ago this is not news

Apparently from the rumors kotick will remain as ceo even after the deal go through... Dont shoot the messenger

Good.

Looks like a pawn sacrifice as long as Bobby Kotick is still around.

elex_andrew Lmao they are doing whatever they can for this deal.

well that’s not bobby kotick but sure lol

Bobby is not leaving because Phil Spencer is letting him stay and paying him millions 👍 and they call Jim Ryan evil ..

That will look good for the deal. I wonder how much she got🤑

Bobby Kotick next? Microsoft what are you waiting to fire him?

Activision is making the news for everything except getting the deal done.

It does not serve any purpose

elex_andrew Deal is failing

Isn't that a given.!?🤷‍♂️🤔

Good

Microsoft is trying to steal Activision because they want to ruin it

Does this mean? Later Bobby?

W but bobby needs to be gone too
