minus-squareNOT_RICK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoI’ll be shocked if it doesn’t go through. I stand to benefit from the acquisition as a GP subscriber but I’m definitely worried about corporate consolidation. At least Bobby Kotick will go away
minus-squareRedAggroBest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down4·1 year agoThis is one of the few corporate mergers I think could make things better because Blizzard is just THAT bad. Plus this means the SC themed Halo clone I’ve wanted for the better part of 2 decades could be a thing.
minus-squareNOT_RICK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYeah I think I agree with you on the merger, but I’m of the wait and see mindset more than picking a side. Still waiting on SC Ghost? I remember buying game magazines and being so hyped for it to come out.
