Really? I thought it was just poor leadership from the top.

Is this just, lets try and keep the money printer going before the crash hits?

I think so. Basically squeeze what they can, tighten, squeeze some more, find that squeeze zone. Basically until they break that infliction zone. Then hold. Profit. Who cares about the future when their bonuses are today.

That Activision Blizzard merger was 100% only for COD and Diablo. Everything else will be purged.
