This stands to reason. There's probably a ton of infrastructure headed to Azure teams, like the entire Battle.net infrastructure or what it's called today.
I'm guessing only key executives and key creatives get to stay, while everyone else will be replaced by Microsoft alumni.
"Key Executives" seems like an oxymoron
Oh, they are.
Blizzard net code plus unsure paas? That's gonna end well.
They run all of Gamepass as well as all of Sony's PS+ on Azure, I think they'll be fine.
Azure is just architecture, like AWS.
