And I thought buying out Bethesda was big. Microsoft really waving around wads of cash to get all the big name studios that aren't already first-party. Kinda worrying to see this much consolidation in the industry.

Feel like this is probably good for like, SC3 or whatever. Good for Blizzard games in general? Wonder how much lock in it leads to. And feel like it means that Bobby Kotick is finally kicked but that he gets like a billion dollars to leave which doesn't seem great.

I guess its good for blizzards future? I wonder what it means for distribution platforms. is bnet gonna get merged into microsofts platform at some point?

If we get SC3, I predict it will be centered heavily around the co-op missions that SC2 pioneered. It's monetizable and playable with friends, which adds a strong social element and relieves the pressure from players feeling like 1v1 ladder is the real way to play.

I'll probably be very wrong if it does get announced, but that's just my hunch from gazing at the tea leaves of the gaming industry. Also, it's a bit funny how gamers are laser focused on the ramifications for MS vs Sony, exclusivity and big name brands while Wall Street and the press is being sold this as a metaverse investment and to look at the money printing from mobile gaming like Candy Crush.

Activision was doing barely anything with their IPs bar say a bit of Diablo and Call of Duty.

ActiBliz was just a CoD Machine, so this deal kinda makes it better for more games from other series, i mean, Tony Hawk and Crash developers were made cod studios, they had like literally 6 developers doing ONLY COD.

It's the revenue of Warzone and King that probably drove the price up... I mean, i can't see the state of Diablo, StarCraft, Warcraft, Tony Hawk, Spyro and Crash being the reason for it to cost 70bn.

So id say this a good move for Blizzard, although RTS games are kinda dead so :/

It's hard to imagine sc3 being a high priority for them but I think wer almost as far away now from the WoL release as WoL was from brood war.

Hopefully theyl start production on it in the next few years just because "hey we have this historically popular property, shouldn't we do something with it?"
