I remember how much games media was hyped on the activision acquisition. It’s probably because Kotick and Blizzard execs are a bunch of bastards but that doesn’t make MS execs great. Just less shitty. Also had the feeling like games media at the time saw it as strengthening western games studio employment stability. Things have not gone as hoped for in the last few years
Well, they still drag around the name Blizzard despite buying it and beating it into a pulp. That still makes me salty everytime I see an article with Activision-Blizzard. Anyone who thinks they can buy reputation is a sociopath.
If a great indie dev gets absorbed then it will cease being great. Mergers by these souls corps are almost always bad for everyone except the execs and shareholders.
