The Morning After: Pressure on Activision Blizzard CEO to resign grows

We reported on employees calling for Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick's resignation earlier this week in TMA, but pressure continues to mount. Alongside more than 800 Activision Blizzard employees and contractors that have signed a petition calling for CEO Bobby Kotick to be removed, there have been responses from both the head of PlayStation, Jim Ryan, and Microsoft's Phil Spencer. In a memo obtained by Bloomberg, Spencer reportedly said he and other leaders at Xbox are "disturbed and deeply troubled by the horrific events and actions" that reportedly took place at Activision Blizzard and that Microsoft was "evaluating all aspects" of their relationship with the game publisher. Bloomberg sources claim Apple is now shifting its attention to a fully self-driving car, not just a more conventional vehicle with semi-autonomous features. New project leader Kevin Lynch wants the very first model to drive itself, according to sources.
