      Activision already ruined blizzard and is/was a shit company. Anyone buying their games still is a sucker who loves being ripped off. Nothing of value was lost here.

        IDKY you’re getting down votes. It’s true. Nothing they’ve done for a while now is worth the time or money.

      The regulators fought it in court. Blame the judge.

        So it’s the judge biased or corrupt? Or maybe it’s the garbage laws and politicians?

          What monopoly? M$ revenue + Nintendo revenue = Sony Gaming revenue

          If anything, playing field just got level, as M$ post merger will be about the same size Sony is.

            Great example, because that’s a play station exclusive, so unless you have that specific console, you’re fucked thanks to corporate greed

              PC will get it in a year or two. You can play everything (including emulating a switch) on PC.
