I don't. I'm tired of seeing the same bullshit Microsoft doesn't offer, shit other than a gamepass, we need more competition in the field .More diversity lets companies like Blizzard and Activision die due to their inability to be competitive. The whole idea of a free market is to have competition

Microsoft has acquired enough brands and have pushed out very little quality games imo, these companies often stifle indie companies and buy them out because they are just too big to compete. We need to go back to the days when having a monopoly was illegal, and they would break your company up for being too big to fail

But you don't disagree they made crappy stuff in the last years. I'm just saying that seems like that right price: getting acquired by Microsoft and to die as a brand in 10 years or less.

> being too big to fail I don't agree with that. Microsoft is not too big to fail at all. In fact some might claim that without ZeniMax maybe it was on it's path that way. Now less.

Microsoft is deff to big to fail just on windows alone they make more then enough to keep them selfs afloat and that's not even touching their gaming platforms they operate.

I disagree, i get people like to shit on blizz for making expansions/dlc's rather than new IP's etc... but the formula is what consumers want. If they didn't want it their net profitability YOY would be dipping. Its not, which means all metrics are telling acti-blizz that there formula is working.

Gamer bro's like you need to understand you are the minority complaining about a game. The vast majority of consumers disagree with you hence why games like COD always sell more than the prior year.

Microsoft on the other hand hasnt managed to produce shit in the last 7-8 years thats even remotely comparable to acti-blizz with all the AAA studios they bought out. Ill take that fat fuck Bobby Kotick any day over merging into microsoft as MS has proven they only make it worse when they buy out studios.
