Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator - Lemmy.world

That’s great news, hope this goes through, soon.

Hope 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?

StarCraft 3 and warcraft 4 hopefully.

Maybe a non shit diablo game.

They would just contract Blizzard to make that, so if they were able to do it they would have done so already.
Since when was that a thing that Blizzard does?
