I hope MS kills Blizzard finally.
They need to go.

They should acquire EA next; that's another studio that gives fuck-all to end users.

By fuck you have a short memory.
This is the same Microsoft that people here deride because of their power over features and bloat in their OS.
You can’t be calling them out then praise them for taking over the cloud market and them killing off competition. That’s just being a hypocrite.

The amount of exclusive buyouts on their original Xbox was one reason i never got past owning the first for steel battalion and its exclusive controller.
Thereafter when I dabbled in gaming that I justified as being ‘unique’ I bought the PS2 and 3. That was at the same time owning custom built PCs. This caused one of the biggest ramifications on the PC and I was in it on the forums as well and Peter got it tight for fucking over PC owners and jumping ship with half baked promises.

Nothing even comes good when it’s a monopoly. Been down that road a million times in games. Want to play blah, blah? Buy a…….

Microsoft are manipulative bastards. Their OS is a failure due to people sticking to Win10 and even Win7. They are financially dying on their feet by their standards.

If my memory serves me well, whatever Microsoft acquireswill go down the drain, only to make a comeback 10s of years later with a wishy-washy version of what the game was.

I did not write about cloud market, I did not write about crapbox, I did not write about monopoly. These are a figment of your imagination.

Blizzard should be dead, along with EA. Both of these companies do fuck-all for customers.
If it means Microsoft has to swallow, so be it. Actually, I don't mind who is swallowing, but right now, it seems it will be Microsoft.

Stop pretending to be naïve or delusional
MS aren’t anyone’s ‘friends’. Whatever blizzard has done to you. So what, don’t buy again simple.
The very fact that in the EU it sells the PS at 4-1 over the Xbox says enough about how people view them.

[Csimbi]

I never said I see Microsoft as a 'friend'.
What's with you putting words into somebody else's mouth?
At best, it's a lesser evil than EA and Blizzturd.
