    I personally just feel indifferent to the merger. Definitely won’t say Microsoft has been the most guilty of game exclusivity, considering Sony have been pushing timed exclusivity on PlayStation. Nintendo doesn’t have take that scrutiny only because their main catalouge are 1st party games.

    That said, it sucks that the only way to make someone as repulsively negligent to workers as Kotick depart is by letting him have a golden parachute to another company. Also, I just don’t trust Microsoft to handle ABK that well. So far their strategy has been to just scoop up studios and expect them to make smash hits without really helping them innovate. It’s that kind of attitude that left Rare a mere shadow of its former self.
