Huge W imo. Hard to get worse than ol Bobby. But we'll have to see what happens.
Sad day for competition in gaming. Consolidation happening in gaming will lead to everything being exclusive based on what cloud service you will choose to subscribe to.
I never see myself going cloud gaming anything to be honest so that is not a fear from me. Consolidation wise we will see how it plays out.
Same thing applies to non cloud gaming. They bought more than just a few Blizzard games and COD, people just don't know because nobody talks about. A list of IPs they bought: https://onemoregame.ph/activision-blizzard-ips-studios-microsoft/
For AAA games, maybe. Indies will keep on ticking as usual.
