Microsoft has done nothing to help Blizzard with their issues. I guess the saying you scratch my back, I scratch yours doesn’t exist in this part of the internet.
UK and Australia are the only hold outs left blocking the deal.
I’m sure this is just a matter of haggling a reasonable bribe set of regulations with the local politicians and nothing more.
First off, they reactivated the old cod Xbox 360 servers, so even if their old games, it helps them immensely, by keeping the popularity of the series on going. (Not quality mind you)
Second, they haven’t even gotten Activision-Blizzard yet. Even if they did, they can’t bang things out , it’s like trying to squeeze 15+ years of having Rare into 1 month.
First and foremost, the clutter that is the community. Bots is the biggest. That needs to go. Second, the behavior. It’s obvious the constant whining hasn’t ended. That needs to go. Third, the flagging system. It gets abused by both sides of the community as a tool to silence a narrative that is being pushed onto both parties. That’s a result of the toxicity that we all face. Hopefully, Microsoft will fix these three primary issues. Then, they can move on to the real work. Fixing the workforce in the offices. Weed out anyone that will oppose the worker’s union and allow compensation to the affected party. Bam. Problem solved and everyone is happy.
what? why should they help blizzard with when they are a separate company - you might as well ask what has Google done to help Blizzard with their issues.
For microsoft to help…they’d have to be contracted as consultants.
If bobby axed lots of jobs support related a ways back, I don’t think he’d pay their consult fees.
They aren’t cheap. Company I worked for paid for consult on a massive migration. Its a pretty penny for that service. Quite a few pretty pennies really.
Cool consultant though. We paid for them, we picked their brain to get all we could while we had him around.
The truest crime is that thet STILL HAVEN’T MADE VIVA PINATA 3 come on guys what’s the hold up-
I take at least a tiny bit of solace in the fact that Trouble in Paradise is backwards compatible on everything (and playable on PC with certain questionable workarounds).
