Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator
slazer2au@lemmy.world 9 months agoHope it doesn’t. MS has a history of anticonsumer practices that goes all the way back to the 90s.
No matter what they say to the regulator MS will stop releasing any ABK existing IP onto Sony and Nintendo consoles.
Even though it will not directly effect me as a PC gamer it is still a bad thing for the industry as a whole.

MS is one of the last hope to safe some of the classic Blizzard titles as the state of Activision Blizzard as it is simply can’t get any worse.

Why? As in, why are they “the last hope”? What can they do that ActiBlizzKing cannot?

Literally anything.
There is currently a handful of devs doing the occational balance patch for SC2 otherwise the game is complelty dead from the developer side. On the MS side, AoE2 and other even older games are doing so much better.

… that game came out 13 years ago and was supported with expansions for 6 years
