Activision Blizzard employees have been reacting online to Microsoft's announcement to buy a Call of Duty publisher for $68.7 billion.
So far, the public response from activision Blizzard's current employees has been generally positive, with content producer Devon Newbury saying, "I've always dreamed of working at Xbox, and now my dream has come true." ”
This sentiment was similarly expressed by product executives/senior producers, esports/partners @BlakeEsports in Call of Duty: Mobile, who used the Fast & Furious gif to sum up his feelings: "My family has become bigger!" ”
David Vonderhaar, design director at Treyarch Studios, probably reacted the same as most people when they found out they were about to become Microsoft employees: "Maybe I can finally get an Xbox Series X?" ”
Interestingly, after leaving Microsoft to join Activision Blizzard in 2019, Mike Ybarra, who was a vice president of Microsoft, used only a smile expression... I don't know how complicated this benevolent brother's heart is now.
