This is how gaming dies, with thunderous applause.
I'm 50/50 on this one. I hate the idea of monopolies eating up everything, but man has Acti-Blizz-King been overall shit lately. With the odd exception to the current WoW expac which is fantastic. Candy crush is their biggest bread winner, and you can see those shitty "features" leaking into their other IPs. Not to mention the terrible sexual problems @ Blizzard.
I hope they clean house on worthless execs and upper management, then leave them be to make games.
