@xxmavr1kxx: Yes, that article was terribly written. I would just like to point out that it was a salary increase of 20% more than in prior years, not a 20% increase.
"This year, Blizzard top performers received a salary increase that was 20% more than in prior years, and more people got promotions, Taylor added. “Our overall salary investment is consistent with prior years,” she also said."
So if you got 12% increase in pay one year, at a 20% increase, you would get 14.4% increase in pay in year two.
@firedrakez: Why would I need to buy the console if I can just play all those games on a PC? Microsofts cross platform play model is very confusing from a console sales point of view, as in I don't need an Xbox to play Xbox games. If this is the route they are taking then they should just shutter the Xbox department and shift focus to just games.
