BREAKING: The WSJ reports that Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard, the troubled publisher behind Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, which has been facing crisis over the last year following numerous reports of sexual misconduct and discrimination. A seismic gaming deal— Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) January 18, 2022
Really though, Blizzard makes nothing worth playing. Objectively speaking, big buyouts are bad, but anyone affected by this needs to play better games.
C'mon man, Activision Blizzard published Sekiro, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch, THPS Remake, Diablo, etc. Sure there's a lot of slop but there's also some good games in there
The good games on that list were only published by them, though, not developed. I can't imagine Blizzard vs Microsoft as publisher would make a huge difference? Could be wrong.
I really enjoyed Overwatch and Diablo, but I take your point, and I agree that I don't think that Blizzard vs Microsoft makes a huge difference in games they solely publish, e.g., Sekiro
Blizzard does not exist. It's Activision now. Literally none of the people who made Blizzard important or special still work there, and all the ex-employees willing to speak on it say Blizzard is dead, hasn't been around for years now.
Indie games are the only worthwhile ones!

That company is gone though, the workers are all gone and they intentionally publish broken shit

Indie games are almost ethical!
