minus-squareMrTulip@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·1 year agoMy default stance is that consolidation is bad, but Blizzard can’t get much worse right now.
minus-squaresharpiemarker@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIt can’t get much worse than “do you guys not have phones?”
minus-squareMacaque@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoFrom my experience the whole reason Blizzard has gotten bad is because they wanted to be an attractive sale. Businesses often get really terrible before a sale or IPO. Edit: corrected dictation typo, “Business is.”

minus-squareTurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoI have an Xbox, and subscribe to game pass, so this is a win for me
minus-squareNightSicarius 🇦🇺@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah, it’ll be interesting to see if it comes to Game Pass. Even as a PC user, I like subscribing to this every so often just to play random new games for a month.

minus-squareNightSicarius 🇦🇺@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·1 year agoSo Blizzard has no plans currently. Doesn’t mean plans won’t be made the minute after the merger goes through.
minus-squareLUHG@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYes, Msoft will make gamepass available but also won’t do major exclusives like ps.
minus-squaremarmo7ade@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoLike Starfield right? Starfield is exclusive to xbox and PC.
minus-squareLUHG@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI doubt. It’ll be more free on game pass full price on ps.
