Super mixed opinions about this one. On the one hand, I hate the consolidation, ever approaching monopolies. But on the other hand, Actiblizz management has been so bad for so long, I’m looking forward to them getting out of the way and seeing what can come when people who want to make games get to use their IPs. But also, is there anyone left in blizzard leadership who even cares anymore?
It’s a weird situation this potential merger puts me in - I agree with you in all points. Not quite a done deal though, as the CMA in the UK is still blocking it. Sounds like MS can now extend the initial deal past the July 28 hearing with the CMA.
