What a shit time to be a gamer. Fuck Microsoft and fuck regulators for allowing this

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.

People still playing their games are mad I called them suckers probably.

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?

Activision waa such a piece of shit, I m actually very excited for this. They shitcanned Bobby too. It can only get better.

This is getting closer and closer to a monopoly. It won't end well

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.

Lmaoooooo that's absurd. Y'all just want to be angry. It's a fantastic time to be a gamer.

RE4, TotK, Hifi rush, street fighter, mk1, Diablo, starfield, armored core, lies of p, bg3, octopath 2, Hogwarts , pikeman, amnesia , like a dragon, fire emblem, age of wonders, assassin's Creed, attic heart, blasphemous 2, company of heroes, darkest dungeon 2, dredge, Forza, immortals of avium , lords of the fallen, total war, Spider-Man in a few days, remnant, survivor, system shock, etc.

I'm sure I missed quite a few good games and that's 23 only.

Of your list, while there are multiple good games, Iā€™m still waiting for the next great game that I can enjoy.

Spiderman, few days. Already covered it for ya šŸ˜œ

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.
