Not a fan of market consolidation. It's bad for the consumer at the end of the day.
But if I were to look for a silver lining: 1 More quality Gamepass content and 2 Maybe MS can save Blizzard from itself.
I look forward to 5-10 years from now when the people who were kids now start pointing to this acquisition as the negative "turning point" for Blizzard because they liked Overwatch 2.
omg it can't POSSIBLY get worse for Overwatch... can it? ABK execs have treated that product worse than breast milk stored in the company fridge.
Now releasing Overwatch 3, exclusively on GamePass! New features (...Actually no new features because we cancelled them all after discontinuing Overwatch 2)!
Overwatch 3 is just removing one of the supports to make it 4v4
I don't think the kids are that dumb
