Unfortunately a lot of the game communities are not budging. I guess I shouldn't have expected more from people that pre-order everything that hits the market.

I don't think Kotick was really in the picture when all their game franchises were being created. The only thing he's good at is acquiring already successful games and companies and then squeezing everything he can out of them before they turn to shit.
What the fuck is wrong with the GOP right now?
How hard is it to not slip a racial slur or try to say that white nationalism isn't racist on national TV?
It's always hilarious watching a group of people getting fucked over and over and still doing nothing about it.
It's also very sad because watching mad redditors is like watching spousal abuse.
I don't care how much he gets as long as he isn't in charge anymore.
The only reason I'm for the merger is that I know how much Microsoft can affect a corporations executive structure. I would hope they are already planning to replace him already, but either way he won't last when he gets tossed into MS' culture.
At least, that is what I'm hopping.
That's a bit of a massive overgeneralization. The list of games studios under MS is pretty large now and a lot of them make great games:
343 Industries The Coalition Compulsion Games Double Fine Productions The Initiative inXile Entertainment Mojang Studios Ninja Theory Obsidian Entertainment Playground Games Rare Turn 10 Studios Undead Labs World's Edge Xbox Game Studios Publishing Bethesda Softworks Alpha Dog Games Arkane Studios id Software MachineGames Roundhouse Studios Tango Gameworks ZeniMax Online Studios
The thing is, MS is usually hands off for a few years after they acquire a company. Game launches can be hit and miss based on how good the individual studios are. I don't think just because they're owned by MS is a good indicator of whether or not they make good games.
I wouldn't expect Activision/Blizzard to change much. They're a huge company. The only good thing would be maybe getting rid of Bobby Kotick

I have mondays off (I work 4 10s). Tuesday night I said fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I'm only one day in... this week is going to suck
Yeah, mini-computers are one thing, but the NUCs were more than that. Having a PCI-E card that you can slot into your computer to literally run a PC inside your PC is super unique and not something anyone else offers.
Sad to see them drop this. I can understand that it's not an in-demand market segment, but it was cool none-the-less
if you walk down the path like 20m there's a sign that tells you where you are
I stopped playing when my whole password caught fire lmao
Gotta gamba
lmao
They installed LEDs in the road lights near me and they had a faulty film cover that turned purple 😆 now they whole highway is light up purple at night!
I think that's the point of the Xbox Game Studios. They purchase a bunch of existing games studios with good talent and let them mostly manage themselves and their own games direction.
MS doesn't want full control anyway because yeah, they aren't great at it. They just want to buy enough companies that they get the money from the good games. Then they'll pull the good talent out of the shitty studios and shut them down.
