The cuts primarily affect Activision Blizzard employees.

    Why is it funny to see 1900 people lose their jobs? You can hate the corporations and those at the top, but I’d wager the vast majority of those laid off are just normal people trying to make a living.

        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.
