Microsoft continues to subscribe to the notion of taking everything so that Sony has nothing, then. In this instance if they really want the company that puts out the same shit every year and is being seriously investigated for being assholes, who are we to stop them?
What's worse is that slimy snake of Bobby Kotick will still remain as CEO while reporting Phil Spencer moving forward

Let's see if Microsoft will be able to bring some real change to the Esports side of Activision Blizzard
Losing Spyro is sad for Sony. But the Call of Duty games going exclusive to Microsoft at this stage ...really not much of a blow. Just too many games coming out each year. Least now Microsoft has something different than Gears of War and Halo to pump out yearly. lol

“ Well hell just froze over. Because CM Punk is back in the WWE.” - Jcogginsa.
“You can take the boy outta the mom’s basement, but you can’t take the mom’s basement outta the boy!” - LA Knight.
"Revel in What You Are." Bray Wyatt.
However he probably will be gone when the ink dries. So there's hope and the management tree doesn't appear in any shape or form.

Ok....almost yearly now. From 2013 to 2019 the company put out these games for X-Box 360 and X-Box One.
2013 - Gears of War : Judgement
2015- Gears of War : Ultimate Edition (remaster of 1st game for X-Box One)
2016 - Gears of War 4
2019- Gears of War 5
They have seemed to slow down on that series as they plan the next Gears game for now.
Halo is MORE INSANE. This is the last 12 years....
2009 - Halo 3 : ODST
2009 - Halo Wars
2010 - Halo Reach
2011- Halo Combat Evolved (Remake of 1st Halo Game on 10th anniversary)
2012- Halo 4
2014 - Halo the Master Chief Collection
2015 - Halo 5 : Guardians
2017- Halo Wars 2
2021 - Halo Infinite
That is a lot of games from Halo. Ok you can see Gears wasn't ran so much but its like in a decade period X-Box was pumping out Halo games like Call of Duty.

As much as I usually dislike consolidation of game studios, activision was already one of if not the worse companies in the industry so I have a hard time seeing how it could really get worse. Blizzard is basically in late stage decay at this point and hasn't actually released anything worth while in years.
I feel a way about overwatch and I do enjoy CoD from time to time but not enough to switch over to the green…
Given what happened to Rare post-Microsoft acquisition, I will tend to agree.

My personal therory is Microsoft will keep buying up studios until they are really the only game in town. Then they are going to triple or quadruple the price of Gamepass, and there will be nothing to stop them.
