I miss Rare.
Microsoft won’t mess with the Blizzard cash cow.
Activision Blizzard harmed themselves way before Microsoft acquired it. Starfield was a piece of crap lol…
It’s Arkane Austin specifically. The ones who made Prey and redfall, not the ones who made dishonoured.
Acquired game studios always end up as empty skin suits worn by their parent company. This is how it has always functioned in the industry.
would not blame microsoft for the trash bethesda and activision blizzard produces lol…
Really? Starfield got “predominantly Negative” reviews?
Activision blizzard is kinda dying even without help from Microsoft
Tango is the only surprise. Arkane Austin haven’t made a good game in over a dalecade and the studio was a mess.
activision/blizzard is already faded
Rare is fine, its far from dead. They didn’t realese new game in long time, but SoT keeps them alive
I’m kind of happy to see the gaming industry getting fucked from time to time. I just want normal games that aren’t riddled with battle passes, microtransactions and tons of DLC.
joke’s on them, Blizzard is already a dead company
AB was a shit dumbster on fire LONG ago, anything Microsoft does to it will be an improvement, even killing that shit off completely will be a blessing.
Just a few days ago I read about Redfalls players waiting on DLC promised on the $100 they spent on a special edition of the game. And now Arkane gong bust, what’s gonna happen? Lawsuit incoming? M$ really going to refund everyone?
I am 95% sure it’s going to be utterly impossible for Microsoft to damage Activision. For some reason, every year people buy the utter drivel that comes from Activision, be it COD or Overwatch 5. I genuinely will never understand the mindset because half the people that buy it go on to hate on it and never play it again after a week so WHY DO YOU KEEP FUCKING BUYING IT????
I will be mightly impressed (and overjoyed) if Microsoft kill Activision.
Microsoft was hands off with both those games but ok.
Blizzard shoulve been dead, buried, and spat on years ago. Wouldn’t be mad about that one.
Blizzard has been dying the last 10-15 years.
It’s been really sad watching one of my favorite game companies fall this hard.
The difference is that Activision Blizzard was already rotting before getting acquired by Microsoft…
I haven’t touched any game after the horror scene Starfield. Big disappointment. Lost total interest in gaming. I’m afraid TES6 will also be a disappointment.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if they benched them at this point
I’m sure starfield was fine, but talk about too little too late. If that has come out anywhere near fallout 3 or 4 I would have probably played 100+ hours, but it came out 6 months ago. From what I’ve been told it wasn’t a huge advancement from the fallout series.
Yeah, Blizzard Activision was thriving before nasty old Phil Spencer came along
All of those corporation were already shit.
Maybe not rare but it was mediocre at that point.
Rare is doing great. Maybe they aren’t releasing the games people wished for, but they are not dying.
Yeah, big diff in a company with giant titles vs actual small indie companies with maybe two games ever.
One you buy to acquire the talent and distribute them to other projects. The other you buy to figure out how to multiply their existing revenue streams and drain the existing customer base dry.
Anyone thinking Blizzard is dying or anywhere close to it is just delusional beyond hope.
blizzard wasnt exactly doing well when they were bought up, unlike some of the others
Current blizzard needs to be put down.
There is nothing left of the genius studio that made Diablo 2 and Brood War.
What happened to 343..
I’m out of the loop ig
Im hyped about ms buying ea… imagine ea being closed
Activision Blizzard was absolutely rotten to the core long before Microsoft every thought of buying them.
That’s meme that only sonyboy can do it
Well, 343 was never good neither was Arkane. The rest, yeah Microsoft gave them the American art design toll and they all didn’t make it out!
The meme doesn’t even make sense XD
Coalition and 343 were built from the ground up by Ms, Coalition has become a tech powerhouse that has helped shape the console and UE5. And Rare it’s the most wealthy it’s has ever been
Starfield received predominantly negative reviews? Holy crap your standards must be high
Blizzard has been dead for a long time.
Activision/blizzard is a studio, publisher, whatever, that I would be thrilled to see shut down. It would be sad to see the end of the Diablo series but that is the only thing that I really give a shit about anymore from them and they are such a shitty toxic corporation that I think its worth the trade off
People acting like hifi rush was game of the year or something lol. The game didn’t sell well, even with the release on Playstation. redfall was one of the biggest flops in history don’t get why people are surprised they closed those studios.
The problem is that Activision blizzard is not the pretty flower by itself
While I do agree, Starfield and Redfall were in development before they were acquired by Microsoft. Microsoft had nothing to do with them. Starfield is due to Bethesda never letting the Gamebryo engine die, and Redfall is due to employee turnover and just hating working on the project.
Now Tango? That’s the one I’m pissed about.
I’m still just mad they cancelled Halo Splitscreen
Wait what happened to Tango Gameworks!? D:
Their Ghostwire: Tokyo was absolutely amazing!
