From ERA:



Yeah, dude, the writing was on the wall. This was never going through, the bots deluded themselves.
We told them and got banned as a result.

"Detached from reality" is such a perfect way to put it. It's not just on Era either - we see it in Lulu making subtle threats against the UK and all the warriors and "journalists" on Twitter who are still trying to blame Sony for this outcome and/or vilifying the UK and the CMA. It's like they're lost in their own little echo chambers and can't see how ridiculously they come across.

She has no place in ABK anymore. All current leadership goes with the failed deal.

I don't think all leadership will go, but there's more than likely certain political forces that will want her to be fired, and Bobby will not bail her out.

In a year where Donald Trump is getting prosecuted, now MS+ABK deal looking dire, there is still hope for humanity.

Looks like there's consequences even if you're 'connected', and rule of law applies to all, even the mega corporations.

I never understood the idea that things couldn't be fixed over there without being bought by Microsoft. The work environment needs to be massively improved without a doubt, but imo that can be done without lining Kotick and Lu Lu's pockets and giving Xbox an unfair advantage.

There's nothing to understand. The employees at ABK have been working towards unionization and better treatment for quite some time now. Despite being stonewalled by Kotick and Lulu and other execs, they've made progress and will continue to do so. The idea that MS is needed in this scenario is the same kind of rhetoric as they need to acquire ABK to "compete" - complete, disingenuous bullshit.

Lulu cheng is what happens when immature people get promoted and no one is around to keep them in check. Who thought it would be a good idea to let her be a loose cannon on twitter? Super unprofessional.

The only time MS didn't union bust was during this acquisition. Also
