Comment on CD Projekt Is Not Interested in Being Acquired
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 months agoThis is how any corporate ownership happens. Success is expected and exploited to cover the non successful units. Rather than retool bad units or invest in changes in them, they will squeeze the successful units as much as they can to power the rest of the business.
I have seen it personally in the travel industry. My spouse is seeing it in the food industry.
No one should be happy that Microsoft and others are buying up the game studios.

Activision Blizzard was a special case for me because they were already shit so new ownership might get them back to a neutral. I hate hating a company whose products I used to love so much.

Think about that for more than a half second.
You know ownership results in degradation of better teams.
Why would you think buying a liability will be good for the performing teams? Do you like seeing good teams suffer?
Blizzard should be dissolved. Let the IP die and talent can move onto other teams.

I mean, when you’ve already given up entirely on those teams, either they improve or remain irrelevant. I’m not holding my breath for them or anything as I’ve already got enough games in my library to never touch a Blizzard game again while still remaining as entrained as video games can keep me.
