Jim Ryan Retires, Connie Booth leaving after 34 years, Layoffs at Sony, Multiplayer games Cancelled

With the recent restructure, I wonder if the ultimate plan is to split ABK once Bobby is out and have Matt Booty oversee all divisions (XGS, Zenimax, Activision, Blizzard, and King), giving each their own president that reports to Booty?

Right now, excluding Bobby Kotick, you have Jamie Leder at Zenimax, Mike Ybarra at Blizzard and Tjodolf Sommestad at King. Booty could continue running XGS or they could find someone else.

In this scenario, I could see Connie Booth or someone like her running Activision.
