And what you said was completely wrong. One hundred percent, unaltered, amazingly wrong, like most of the posts in this thread.

The Prime Minister doesn’t agree? If he and the other higher ups get mad enough at the CMA the Regulator is as good as disbanded as a legitimate Regulator.

If the UK Government dislikes it’s Regulator(which as shown by the Prime Minister seems to be the case) then it can strip the Regulator of power and since it owns the Regulator’s properties it can order the staff(who are now out of a job) out of said properties on pain of arrest for non-compliance(of course if such a thing happened it would mean the Regulatory Staff just committed sedation against the Government due to thinking they are above the Government rather than a mere branch that can be pruned)!

Once upon a time, blizzard was independent. Game was good. Times were happy. Then they got acquired by a larger company. Now we have this current blizzard.

The track record isn’t good for that sort of thing improving things.

To be fair, we have to look at WHO is doing the acquisitions, Activision was known for broken products and bad conduct even before buying out Blizzard. Microsoft like any business has its bad practices, but nothing like the Activision rep they built up over several failed games, and many of the products Microsoft purchases do improve eventually
 Minecraft is just one example.

God youre dumb

And why do 2 american companies need the approval of foreign govts to do their private deal? They will just do it anyways.

Name 1 feature in WOW that you dislike that you think came from Bobby.

Alot of WOW players overestimate WOW value compared to the other ABK games.

Everything that you hate in current WOW comes from WOW devs, deep down you know this, but you just want a scapegoat that is safe to blame.

There are laws and regulations against large companies merging. Rarely, if ever, does such an ‘acquisition’ end well for the company being absorbed for parts, the people who were customers, or the larger industry the absorbed company was part of. I can’t think of a good reason why a company like Microsoft is allowed to buy another relatively large company that was a competitor.

lol “name 1 feature”

um


all the terrible stuff that happened and was swept under the rug while he has been in charge.

also the terrible monetization that they pushed on everything 
 but mostly the first thing.

Countries that are bought.

Name it then, and prove to me that it was from Bobby Kotick and not Blizzard developers themselves.

Yep.

Spiderman! which plays like the other ones. Also pc ported. Sony likes money
wise choice there.

Last of us
famed for nerd rage you actually don’t need to play the game. The rage rants for weeks pieced together the story no console buy required.

Well that and most pc their zombie games for fun mods with RE series. Which are very eeo. Some make the men eye candy too. The RE Mod community usually covers all the bases lol.

GT
loved this series in the past. Not enough at $500 for console (if you can find one) to play now it when I have an xbox x, a switch, and even a steam deck.

See that steam deck gives me my steam libary anywhere. One of my more fun wth buys.

Many not even 100% supported games work jsut fine with some easy adjustments. Its allowed me to do the impossible. I’ve played a decent chunk of my steam backlog finally.
