@IronMan30 There are always layoffs in any consolidation of this size. Just considering business support functions, which would be duplicated within Microsoft, that will probably be ~10% of the total workforce at activision. Then there are probably some other functions and support teams in network services which could make it as high as 15%. Most of this initial hit won't touch developers, but there will still be layoffs, given the sheer size of activision.
