To be fair, it did also bring in record losses. That acquisition by Microsoft would not have happened at that price point, without all those scandals coming to light. So, maybe Microsoft is actually the tiniest bit inclined to do better.
At the same time, it drives me completely mad how the whole industry seems to have decided that because it's being acquired by Microsoft, we can just roll up the shitstorm and put it away again. I guess, we don't anymore need to boycott until they enact real changes within the company, because Kotick is being let go. I am not on board with this.
The game will probably do fine, but I live in Seattle so I've known others that worked for Microsoft. They're not known for treating their gaming employees that great. The workers could get lucky though and get a good head of that game, who knows.
