I think people are forgetting what stock options are.
"Mr. Perry, IGT would like to offer you the option to buy our stock 5 years from now at today's price of $38/share"
"Gee thanks IGT, I hope 5 years from now when those options are vested, the stock is worth more than $38/share... 'cause today they're worth $28/share."
It's not like IGT is going to offer me the option to buy Microsoft stock, or like I can do anything with my IGT options before they're vested.
