Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision
Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision
From Call of Duty to Fallout and beyond, Microsoft has swallowed up a lot of popular and successful video game franchises

Wonderful news, I sure did want all those franchises that I loved to be turned to shit before being shelved for eternity.
Blizzard has already been doing that for a while. Also failing with new franchises, not investing in their core games, half assing releases. I hope they actually turn things around for games like Starcraft, Diablo, HotS etc
Blizzard would never have done that if Activision hadn't been allowed to buy them. The new conglomerate will be worse than we anticipate in the same way Activion-Blizzard was.
Why would they be worse? We have a bunch of good games out of Microsoft. I don't see how they could fuck it up
Blizzard had pretty much only made amazing games before Activision bought them. Activision also made a lot of good games back then. People couldn't see how the merger would fick it up back then, yet it still did.
I expect Bethesda to get infected with the worst that Activion-Blizzard has to offer more so than the opposite.
"If there are fewer and fewer games coming out that are more and more exclusive people will just have to buy an Xbox!" --an MBA, probably
Most of those are already shit (Fallout, Diablo, Overwatch, call of duty) or shelved 25+ years ago (Commander Keen, Hexen, Phantasmagoria...). Microsoft's own games are rather good compared to Activision Blizzar or even Bethesda.
