    That’s… not a good thing, right? I mean it usually is, but Blizzard being the toxic cesspool we now know it already was before the merger, wouldn’t it make more sense to just replace the entire c suite with Microsoft people?

      Activision*

      And also yes. Actiblizz needs fixing, bad. That the acquisition might provoke some changes in that direction was the sole reason to be a little happy about it.

      I’m on your side. Mainly because I was also really hoping for some sort of revival of Heroes of the Storm :P. Seriously, Blizzard is not the same company I thought I loved growing up.

      However, I did watch someone on YouTube that talked about working Gears of War and execs of MS were less than helpful.

      I think it’s Laura Fryer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69gs773bZRI

      It has been many years ago though. Blzzard and Activision definitely could use a change of leadership in my opinion.
