Some of the names being thrown around as possible acquisitions by Microsoft are, frankly, astounding, even unthinkable. But the fact that they are doing the rounds is instructive. The most recent one we heard (from a reliable source close to Microsoft) was, in fact, Electronic Arts. We also heard a whisper about Valve and about Korean outfit PUBG Corp., which Microsoft last year signed to a timed exclusive for its hit survival shooter, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Wouldn't EA dying of Microsoft Acquisition Syndrome be a net good for the world, maybe force an org chart shuffle at MS, and basically only hurt people who willingly subjected themselves to working at EA? Valve I'd appreciate MS waiting until a few more GOG Connect events happen, and PUBG wouldn't really mean anything yet, but EA's well into 'do it you cowards' territory.

I see absolutely zero downsides to an ms acquisition of ea. - ea gets shut down - the ms guy gets promoted to another division to ruin something else - gamers go nuts - xbox continues to be irrelevant

HRC is still the organization that was willing to throw away all trans protections in ENDA to pass a rump version that was basically LG only, despite every other lgbtq rights org being against that. Their metrics probably do not account for the diversity of workplace experiences in the btq part of the acronym.

This. It is more likely that EA just states in their written policies about certain lgbtq rights, but there is nothing actually stating they have to enforce or follow them.
