I know I'm evil but this Is a good thing imo.

I'm not sure evil is the word that first comes to mind

[Gamer_Dude]

If true it's a criminal act likely punishable by a prison sentence.

[Double_O_Revan]

Not really. Because it's the employees that are suffering. If this was targeted to executives or the people that were responsible for the harsh conditions within the company, then yea. But the info, possibly of the people that are already suffering, being released online is like rubbing salt int he wound. Going after the evil corporation, I'm ok with. But the poor people that work there because they need their jobs, not so much.

Finally we get to see who gains how much if the Microsoft deal goes through. Probably the most vocal people who have been doing the rounds in the media.

It involved: “sensitive work place documents” The hacker notably gained access to secret docs on December 4th, 2022, and after 2 months, the details have finally emerged.”

There maybe information/communications with MS regarding the deal, their plans, etc.

Hopefully there will be a day 1 patch and 5 dollar Starbucks gift cards to help those affected

And this adds to more reason for mcsft to buy em

[ironmonkey]

your right buy them and do what they did to the rest, put them of the shelf like the rest of their dusty studios

[ActualEngineer]

So far, most of the studios they have bought have gone to good use. Are you blind?

[S2Killinit]

O wonder if we are going to see communications between Kotick and Microsoft!

A lot of the commentors here need a reality check and probably a visit or two to the psychiatrist. The hate you people have for activision is laghable, yet you cry like cry-babies at the same exact time for the company to not be sold to the highest bidder, like their right is to. Then, when you hear about a hack, being clueless, you start to phantasize about these so called "...awful executives..." that will get punished because a handful of employees out of literal thousands, acted in a questionable way with their own free will .... an I do wonder if you vocal bunch are mentally ill or just children irl. I'm not even joking.

As a normal person would do, I went in the article and as soon as I saw "The hacker was able to gain access to personal employee details through a single phishing attack, which caused the prominent data to be compromised." I knew it was a slack hack probably and the """"hacker """" just got access to some chats...
