Lest anyone continue on these accusations of greed, let me make on thing clear. There's a huge difference between the buzz word form of greed to mean exceedingly profitable and trying to cheat employees out of contractual, obligatory compensation. If this is true, Activision is batshit insane, and in some serious trouble too.


Oh I see what you mean. I suppose it just seems "greedy" because one party is gaining something at another party's expense. If it's true, the employees are really getting taken advantage of

How much is Blizzard worth? Maybe all Blizzard fans can pay some money into a mutual fund and with that money we buy 51% of Blizzard shares. Then WE own the company. What's better than a company owned by their very own customers? And for all the Fox News Fans: yeah, that's socialism. :p

Edit: Just found information stating that the approximate value of the Vivendi branch containing Blizzard was $8.1 billion at the time of the merger. Even 51% of that might be a bit more then we could afford.


Umm,

Can you not make this into a childish swipe? Fox News has NOTHING to do with this, so please don't insult other members like that.

Right now I can picture Neil Cavuto just face palming himself over such a comment.

Let me guess, you want a private group (think for a second about your statement and you will see the big hole you put into it) to run a company? Hmm doesn't not seem like socialism (I"m not even going to deal with the rest of it).



First of all, I did not intend to seriously offend anyone. Sorry if you felt offended. It was meant as a joke. We good?

FYI, there is a huge difference between owning a company and running it. If you buy stocks, you own part of the company. The CEO, despite his or her own perception of the situation, is a well paid employee unless he or her also holds shares of the company.

So basically who owns the company is entitled to tell the CEO what to do and fire him or her in case of noncompliance. AGAIN, not running the company but telling the CEO when to do stuff differently. That means, as long as the CEO does a good job, the owners can lean back. As soon as the CEO starts pulling off shit, like blackmailing employees, you tell them to stop it or GTFO. Sounds good to me.
