    The worst bit is, it seems like the CMA will negotiate with them. This might be well and truly over.

      I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t go through. I stand to benefit from the acquisition as a GP subscriber but I’m definitely worried about corporate consolidation. At least Bobby Kotick will go away

        This is one of the few corporate mergers I think could make things better because Blizzard is just THAT bad.

        Plus this means the SC themed Halo clone I’ve wanted for the better part of 2 decades could be a thing.

          Yeah I think I agree with you on the merger, but I’m of the wait and see mindset more than picking a side.

          Still waiting on SC Ghost? I remember buying game magazines and being so hyped for it to come out.

            Yeah, I’m a tiny bit optimistic, but only time will tell how this ends up going. Also Activision really is such a fucked up state right now, that if they end up making it even worse, so what? I really only see two options: eather it will be better or continue be shit like they now are.
