Activision already ruined blizzard and is/was a shit company. Anyone buying their games still is a sucker who loves being ripped off. Nothing of value was lost here.
I don’t know, maybe I should be angry or something. But Activision/Blizzard have been pretty shitty for a while now. This will just be more of the same and more of me continueing to not buying their games.
I grew up on Blizzard and Activision games, but the good feelings and nostalgia wore off when they started treating beloved franchises like DLC piggy banks.
“more choices” per the new CEO. Speech has absolutely been neutered by corporations in the last 30 years. Literally the opposite. “Product enhancements” announced by an airline, everyone starts looking for what is worse.
Looking forward to see how this will improve the quality of Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard-EA-Ubisoft’s games and those of the competito- oh, never mind. None left.

Activision waa such a piece of shit, I m actually very excited for this. They shitcanned Bobby too. It can only get better.
This is getting closer and closer to a monopoly. It won’t end well
What monopoly? M$ revenue + Nintendo revenue = Sony Gaming revenue
If anything, playing field just got level, as M$ post merger will be about the same size Sony is.
