Summary

Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick claims that the lawsuit opposing the Microsoft-Activision deal was secretly intended to benefit The Embracer Group, which has denied involvement. He argues that the significant drop in Call of Duty sales, reported at 60%, supports his decision to sell Activision Blizzard to Microsoft for $69 billion.
