The head of the Xbox division confirmed that the company will “there are changes” in Microsoft’s relationship with Activision Blizzard, however he did not specify his intentions.
Phil Spencer’s email comes shortly after The Wall Street Journal’s investigative report adds new details about the dark corners at Activision Blizzard. The article immediately attracted public attention, and many sides asked for CEO Bobby Kotick to resign. At this time, more than 1,000 Activision Blizzard employees have signed the CEO resignation petition.
