For example since they acquired Bethesda things seem fine and I dont see any problems with any Bethesda anticipated games Microsoft nowadays respects the independence of gaming companies they purchase unless the company is running at a loss in which case they will intervene to fix things So I dont get all these negativity about this development, its much worse on Codex with people really upset and venting.

Bartimaeus Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Good lord, I just got done talking about the AAA gaming industry being a snake eating its own tail, and there we go again... Admittedly, there's no way Microsoft is as bad managerial-wise as Activision, but still. Someone should buy the toxic sludge that is Ubisoft so they can stop making the world's worst AAA games - that'd be doing all of us a favor, at least. Edited January 18, 2022 by Bartimaeus 2 2 1 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

ShadySands Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 My negativity is aimed at things in general and not anything specific. Things can always be worse, hopefully it's not, but it always can be. I'm totally fine with MS taking over a large chunk of gaming and this particular acquisition doesn't affect me at all since I don't play their games. I did like Malc's suggestion though. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

MrBrown Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 With the **** ActiBlizzard is in at the moment and Microsoft's track record with gaming companies, I have a hard time seeing how this could make it worse for them. Or fans of their IPs.
