The bar to be an improvement is so obscenely low that it’s almost impossible for Microsoft not to be better.

I’m generally pro-Xbox but don’t consider myself a fanboy. I think the acquisition will be good for both brands.

I do worry about what they’ll do with the Blizzard IPs, but at this point I’m worried about Blizzard regardless.

Blizzard destroyed warcraft 3, quite possibly the greatest game ever made, with their “reforged” bullshit and I can never forgive them for that. I swore them off afterward. I am ashamed to say that I caved and bought Diablo 4 and was reminded what a shit company they are because they somehow managed to suck all the fun out of that too.
