I think the OP is just annoyed his specific complaint isn't being addressed (not saying it shouldn't be).

I applaud this action.

First reason is that AAA games are all made by a few big players and this just consolidates it even more. Microsoft owns a bunch of games, gaming devices, gaming operating systems, etc. This is a good thing to stop.

Second reason is that the CEO of Activision Blizzard deserves much worse than a golden parachute from Microsoft.

Upon RTFA, I find this to be a sensationalized story:

"Raven has almost 40 testers, according to the staff letter. The studio informed a dozen people on Friday that their contracts will be terminated in late January. A few were promoted to full-time positions. Others were told they will not find out their job statuses until this week."

Some people were promoted, some people were cut, some people are still in limbo. All in all, sounds like a standard reorganization?

Title/summary makes it sound like only cuts happened.

Pretty such those fantasies, tunnels and self-driving cars, have produced some pretty valid and useful tech.

If those fantasies now include a robot that seamlessly fits into the background of my life, then I wouldn't bet against him being able to deliver more than vaporware. I'm not saying his ultimate goal will definitely succeed, but even a marginal failure would be some crazy cool tech.

"Problem not solved, do you have any idea how hard it would be to keep track of 50 states and what time they are in? This means that if you had a meeting, you would have to look up their location first or keep track of it in your head. Most people would be opposed to that idea."

So your client base is only within your state/timezone.

Try having co-workers and clients all over the world. It's pretty much already "let States decide ... and publish". Read States as other countries.

I vote UTC all over. We will be in space eventually anyway.

What are we going to do? Sweep space with arbitrary timezones changing as the world rotates?

Eventually the species will forget why we even have 24 hours in a day.
