Key facts of Microsoft Acquistion of Activision/Blizzard

I know articles state that Bliz will continue as-is until the deal is finished around the summer of '23. I hope they don’t cease development of OW2 or maintenance of OW1 in the interim, whether by dev-choice or under corporate direction. Pushing a few updates between now and then, even if they are regular experimental patches, would probably help the community stay afloat and keep hope alive. At least it would for me.

The only concrete evidence we have about the future of current titles is that the official announcement on news.xbox.com stated.

Upon close, we will offer as many Activision Blizzard games as we can within Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, both new titles and games from Activision Blizzard’s incredible catalog.

Depends on the game and the companies involved.

We are already at the lowest of low. Good riddance to the current blizz team, worst case scenario this game stays exactly how they been keeping it

Thank you for this write up, it helps a lot. I guess we will just have to wait and see what consequences this results in.

Accounts will most likely be migrated to Microsoft. We all know Microsoft wants to bring customers on their platforms, to promote more of their services.

yeah, the services Soshana Zuboff pointed out. Im so excited already.
