It’s pretty early to say. Also, Microsoft doesn’t exactly have the type of track record with gaming that you would even brag about…
Microsoft acquired Skype on October 2011 for $8.5 billion. Skype was shut down in 2025.
Microsoft acquired Bungie in 2000 and I think the majority of Halo players would agree that the Halo franchise have gone downhill ever since.
Microsoft’s Xbox has been on a downward spiral for literally decades.
Microsoft bought Perfect Dark and cancelled the latest installment which was in development hell for 7 years.
Nothing here shows that if Microsoft bought Blizzard, it would mean that Blizzard would be saved. If anything, it kind of shows the opposite… That IPs that Microsoft buys are going to be going downhill and stagnant since Microsoft always buys them after the IP hits their prime.
