Correct, and we're seeing the consequences of these buyouts occur now with Embracer imploding. Its worse because the console makers expect their first party titles to move consoles, which indies need to get into homes. When they start to fail to move units due to dwindling quality, the house of cards will collapse for them.
We're watching the 1970s video game crash in slower motion, which occurred due to an excess of lower quality, costlier projects.
Activision Blizzard was a special case for me because they were already shit so new ownership might get them back to a neutral. I hate hating a company whose products I used to love so much.
Think about that for more than a half second.
You know ownership results in degradation of better teams.
Why would you think buying a liability will be good for the performing teams? Do you like seeing good teams suffer?
Blizzard should be dissolved. Let the IP die and talent can move onto other teams.
I mean, when you've already given up entirely on those teams, either they improve or remain irrelevant. I'm not holding my breath for them or anything as I've already got enough games in my library to never touch a Blizzard game again while still remaining as entrained as video games can keep me.
