But do they need the games to be good? Activions sucks balls, but why would microsoft make the games good again and remove all the shit with microtransactions etc.?
I haven’t played it but I have read that Diablo 4 has been mostly well received. I guess there’s been a fiasco about one of the updates to it, but that’s not something unique to Blizzard and theoretically could be fixed in another update, no?
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.
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 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.
Why would they do that? CoD is a better investment. This is MS. Not some fan boy.
They need more games for their pass.

If the games are good and non-exploitative it would in theory drive up Game Pass subscriptions.
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?

Literally anything.
