Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard may go ahead in the United States, as Judge Corley sees no danger of harming competition.
I know people dislike mergers for good reason but in all honesty I’ve been wanting this to just go through just so I can know whether they boot Kotick out. If they don’t… boo.
I don’t have any interest in CoD anymore. There are a few IPs I’d like to see explored though that Activision has been sitting on and ignoring. And some that Activision “might” own that they’ve been too lazy to check but still threaten to litigate if it turns out that they do own (No One Lives Forever).
Pretty shit news.
I kinda want to play a Microsoft flight sim/WoW mashup
