Blizzard President Mike Ybarra out as well.

Ybarra gone is great news. Its sad that 9% of the 22k employees at Activision-Blizzard-King have their roles eliminated because they overlap, but smaller teams tend to be easier to focus during development.

Ideally, anyone in leadership that was put there under Kotick should be investigated and eliminated if needed as well, since nothing Kotick did is trustworthy. And hopefully many of the 1900 employees laid off are.
