“The culture of our organization is my number one priority,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a conference call yesterday. “It’s critical for Activision Blizzard to drive forward on its” commitments to improve its workplace culture. Activision Blizzard, the company behind games including Call of Duty and Candy Crush, is currently being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Last July, the state of California sued the company stating, “Defendants have also fostered a pervasive ‘frat boy’ workplace culture that continues to thrive,” while “breeding a ground for harassment and discrimination against women....

When discussing the event with GamesBeat, Activision’s CEO Eric Hirshberg touched on the ambition, care, and attention to detail that went into the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, and stated how the company wanted to give the community the game as a huge gift by pairing it with Infinite Warfare. Instead of offering up physical items with the upcoming collector’s editions like with past Call of Duty games, Activision desired changing the formula a bit by allowing the forthcoming futuristic shooter to come with an entirely separate game, with Hirshberg calling it the company’s “biggest bonus content ever....

The title, named simply Ghostbusters, will feature a new cast of characters that have never been seen before, rather than using either of the two teams from the movies.

The gameplay looks to be that of a third-person action RPG with local co-op play aspects....

Nobody has ever accused Activision of being humble, and the publisher certainly feels its place in the industry is deserved. But when your property reigns supreme in the shooter genre as CoD does, every newcomer is almost forced to address the giant brand in one way or another.

Just message me.” Within minutes, the post was removed, according to VICE....

Stefano Pioli’s men traveled to Turin heavily-burdened. In fact, this has so far been the worst start to a season in 78 years for AC Milan. They had managed to lose seven times in their first 11 matches, prior to the Turin derby. Moreover, AC Milan has only kept three clean sheets as their defense was often tormented by the opponent’s attack, whether that was Lecce or Inter Milan....

The Serie A side replaced Paris Saint-Germain-bound Leonardo with Paolo Maldini in the technical director role last week and Zvonimir Boban was named chief football officer.

He has been tasked with overseeing all technical and sporting operations at San Siro and will report directly to Maldini....

While the 19-year-old Donnarumma could not be blamed for Medhi Benatia’s opener in the final, his mistakes led to the ensuing goals from Douglas Costa and Benatia. Then Kalinic headed a corner into his own net. After the final whistle, Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci and Juventus counterpart Gianluigi Buffon attempted to console Donnarumma. “We have to accept it and realize we made our own errors,” Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso said....

AC Milan hosts struggling Napoli with the two teams just three points apart near the top of the table. Given Inter’s current form, we could be looking back on this game as a title elimination contest. A draw wouldn’t serve much for either. Milan (2nd, 39 points) seems to have turned things around after a pair of November losses, although a disappointing draw to 14th-placed Udinese last time out has complicated its title bid....
