On January 19, Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it would spend about $68.7 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard, a well-known game developer. If all goes well, this will be the largest M & a deal Microsoft has made in 46 years. However, some Microsoft employees are worried that scandals such as improper sexual behavior in Activision Blizzard and the company's bad culture will affect Microsoft < p > Activision Blizzard has familiar games such as call of duty and world of Warcraft. If the transaction is successful, Microsoft will further consolidate its strength in the game industry and support the key game pass subscription service with the help of Activision Blizzard's game resources. However, this transaction also worries some players that Microsoft will remove popular games such as "watch pioneer 2" from those competitive game platforms of Sony Playstation, and it seems likely to cause antitrust review all over the world < p > however, the biggest risk may come from the corporate culture of Activision Blizzard and a series of scandals in the company last year. In addition to obtaining a large number of talents and intellectual property rights, what Microsoft wants to acquire is a company with deteriorating reputation in the industry. Some Microsoft employees have expressed their dissatisfaction with the deal within the company < p > just a few hours after the announcement of the transaction, a Microsoft employee said, "I'm very disappointed. We haven't heard from NADELLA how he can ensure that the terrible culture rooted in Activision Blizzard will not breed and spread within Microsoft." "As a female engineer, I personally will never consider working for Blizzard or Activision. I hope we can hear specific measures to ensure that Microsoft does not introduce an unpopular dangerous culture." < p > a Microsoft spokesman said that the two companies would operate independently before the transaction was completed. He mentioned that Satya NADELLA, CEO, responded to investors' statements and said that "it is very important for Activision Blizzard to promote a new cultural commitment." The spokesman added, "we recognize that after the transaction, we still have a lot of work to do in order to continue to build a culture in which everyone does their best." < p > the spokesman said: "Microsoft is committed to achieving inclusiveness, respect and integrity in all areas of the game, both employees and players." < p > Microsoft has nearly 190000 employees, so some people worry that Activision Blizzard culture is difficult to represent all employees. However, these concerns of Microsoft employees were raised directly to CEO NADELLA through an internal forum called "contact CEO". Microsoft described this channel as "allowing employees to ask questions directly to NADELLA and his leadership team and discuss topics related to the whole company" < p > last July, California sued Activision Blizzard, accusing the "Brotherhood" culture and the company of widespread harassment of female employees. Recently, Activision Blizzard employees and investors asked CEO Bobby Kotick to resign on the grounds that Kotick had been informed of allegations of sexual harassment in the company for many years. Activision Blizzard said on Monday that it had fired or dealt with dozens of employees since last July < p > some people also linked the deal to Microsoft's recent problems. Microsoft female employees called on the management to solve problems related to gender discrimination and sexual harassment. At the insistence of shareholders, Microsoft recently hired a law firm to review the company's sexual harassment and gender discrimination policies. Earlier, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and other executives were accused of misconduct < p > "it's hard for women who strive for better working conditions for Microsoft to keep silent," an industry insider said of the reaction of Microsoft employees < p > when Microsoft initially announced the deal, it said that cotick would continue to be the CEO of Activision Blizzard, but it was reported late Tuesday that cotick was expected to leave after the deal was completed < p > "I'm glad I'm not the only one who is upset about this. The official statement this morning stressed that at least most of the management team of Activision Blizzard will remain in office." Another Microsoft employee said, "do we really want to be managed by those who turn a blind eye to workplace abuse, discrimination and inhuman working conditions?" < p > for Microsoft, the message surrounding the deal focused on what the company called its commitment to inclusiveness. "Xbox is committed to integrating inclusiveness into all aspects of the game," said Microsoft's Xbox department NADELLA wrote in an email sent to employees on Monday morning that the company will continue to "create a more diversified and inclusive culture for new colleagues of Activision Blizzard, and ensure that all our employees can do what they like to do, prosper and develop in such a safe and comfortable environment, and do my best." < p > Dan Newman, an analyst at future research, a market research company, expects that none of this will affect the transaction progress. He said that the antitrust debate between the two companies may not be meaningful because regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) pay more attention to other companies such as Amazon or apple. He also expects that considering the potential benefits, Microsoft believes that no matter what challenges the Activision Blizzard culture faces, the deal is worth it < p > "there may be a lot of people who think this is a problem," Newman said. "Microsoft's due diligence process is very thorough. They know what they are doing and what's at stake: after all, there are 400 million users a month." (Chen Chen) < / P > < p >
