We're back to cover the last month of Activision-Blizzard-King news as the ABK board continue to ignore striking workers from Raven Software. Months of striking and requests for negotiation continue to go unaknowledged from leadership as workers opt to unionize. We talk about ABK's strategy for deflating the union's momentum and how QA workers are holding strong in the face of major obstacles.
The major announcement of Microsoft purchasing the company offers hope for potential reshuffling of ABK's executive leadership, but some worry that change may not be coming at all. We talk about how the blockbuster deal may affect Overwatch 2's development and the broad future of the franchise. We elaborate on what Franchise owners are likely feeling with the current state of uncertainty aroud the season's launch and where things might go from here.
We talk about the ramifications of the purchase on Overwatch and Overwatch League.
