The acquisition has resulted in next to nothing other than some joint advertising. This really just makes you look like you have no idea how corporate company structure works.

The first fullscreen ad on Xbox is definitely a negative change in the industry and Microsoft knew exactly what they bought and are responsible now for everything, including the later revealed pricing for the upcoming WoW expansion. No amount of downvoting by Xbox fanboys will ever change that.

My guy, I’ve never even owned an Xbox

I agree that it’s a negative change. I’ve never said otherwise.

I don’t agree that Microsoft is responsible. This would have happened with or without the Microsoft acquisition. This was a decision made long before the Microsoft buyout, and Microsoft executives would have no say over any of it. The coroporate structures are almost certainly entirely separate still. They’re functioning as effectively separate companies with a close working relationship, while answering to the same ceo.
