A lot of people want this deal to go through so they get CoD and Diablo. While that is an enticing proposition but am not fond of Microsoft just gobbling up large studios just because their first party games aren't up to snuff.

The least controversial opinion here is big companies need to stop with acquisitions.

I believe I hold the 2nd least controversial opinion of, mergers suck and all but I really want to like ABK games again, and I sure don't see them fixing shit on their own. I think their games and company would improve under Microsoft.

..but at this point? Fucking end this charade. It's obvious too many forces are against it, no matter how much I wanted it to work out.

It does feel a little like there will be only three mega corporations left that develop games, at this rate. A monopoly is never good.

Is that what triple A stands for? The three asshole corporations developing the non-indie games?

Is that a given? Redfall (I know it's Bethesda) didn't exactly blew everyone's socks off.
