My default stance is that consolidation is bad, but Blizzard can't get much worse right now.

From my experience the whole reason Blizzard has gotten bad is because they wanted to be an attractive sale.

Businesses often get really terrible before a sale or IPO.

Edit: corrected dictation typo, "Business is."

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if it comes to Game Pass. Even as a PC user, I like subscribing to this every so often just to play random new games for a month.

So Blizzard has no plans currently. Doesn't mean plans won't be made the minute after the merger goes through.

Yes, Msoft will make gamepass available but also won't do major exclusives like ps.

I doubt. It'll be more free on game pass full price on ps.

Monopolies are generally bad but Microsoft does seem to be doing a decent enough job with all the other studios they have scooped up. If we can get Bobby Kotick out of the picture seems like a win to me.

The review process is bullshit. If you're perfectly happy in your job and you're doing amazing, they fire you for not getting promoted.

Also Redfall was kinda a disaster. I believe the only games that have really paid off have been Hellblade and Hi-Fi Rush.
