Were you hoping for the acquisition to be denied? I’m curious to hear if/why people think this going through will be bad.
When was the last time such an acquisition led to something positive for gamers?
I am all for timed exclusives if that means Microsoft or Sony help funding the game that wouldn’t have the budget otherwise. However I am against acquisitions, be it from Microsoft or from Sony.
Based on what? 4 games? Acti/Blizzard aren’t the publishing powerhouse they once were. They have Warcraft, Diablo, CoD and Hearthstone. Yes, there is also King, but all that is f2p mobile jank.
Apparently King is the money-printing machine that this deal was primarily about, all the Activision/Blizzard games are just a bonus

Honestly that’s only due to people not realizing the value of the Xbox Series Consoles, and the absolute STEAL that is Gamepass Ultimate.
You can’t get a PS5 or Switch for 34.99 a month with 400+ games for free with it. Xbox All Access is 34.99 a month for 2 years and you outright own the Series X, and get 2 years of Gamepass Ultimate. It’s the same cost as a Series X and 2 years of Gamepass Ultimate, but stretched out over 2 years. It’s an absolute STEAL. Especially for PC gamers who want a cheap library expansion, and want a way to easily play a ton of games on their couch.
