3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The point is this is one sale of many.

Yes, hypothetically the CEO could influence the date an announcement is made for their own personal gain, but it’s not worth it and there will be many more sell events in the future.

Long run, trying to scheme an announcement to gain more at 1/100 sales isn’t worth it.

CEO John Riccitiello shifted 2000 shares last week on 6th September, … part of a trend over the past year where the exec has sold more than 50,000 shares in total and bought none.

This is a drop in his equity bucket and any gains this article implies are due to “insider trading” will disappear in subsequent events.
