    It’s funny to see 1900 people lose their jobs because they stayed instead of protesting the merger. If they’re working at Microsoft/Activision/Blizzard, I promise you they don’t have any real problems in life. Many of us told people that as soon as the merger went through they were going to axe a large portion of the staff, and we got “oh no that doesn’t happen!”.

    So this, just like every merger before it, was a stupid idea to let pass, and I’m glad people are suffering for it, because maybe a little introspection will do them well.

    But hey, can’t really expect that much out of America, so oh well.

      Protest the merger? There’s nothing they can do.

      And after that do you expect them all to up and leave? Every single one? I don’t know what world you live in.

      If they had, the merger would have still happened. That’s an awful opinion and you should be embarrassed but I expect instead you’ll double down.

        The FTC nearly blocked the merger without any protest from the employees. You don’t know shit.
