Microsoft, the company that hasn’t put out a decent game in years and who’s only saving grace this generation has been buying out studios and making their games exclusive, can’t run things as badly as Activision? That microsoft?
I hope you are using a PC running Linux to say that.
You do know that the people running Activision aren't the ones developping the game ? Microsoft won't be doing anything more than running the business. To be more specific, I was hoping there would be less lootbox and shit like that.
Also, I don't know if it is the fanboyism speaking for you but taste in games in quite subjective.
Yeah I haven’t used windows outside of work in years.
The other person had a great comment that counterpointed mine pretty effectively, I haven’t had time to respond properly though, as it is a long comment. Microsoft has a checkered past when it comes to publishing games. In some periods they micromanage their dev teams heavily, In others they basically throw a blank check at the devs and tell them to make a game. While we’re in a period with blank checks, Microsoft’s history is such that it’s nearly inevitable they will interfere again.
Also, I have all of the consoles. The Xbox is a great machine, but as it is it’s basically just a high def 360 for me. I can’t think of a single exclusive they’ve put out for Xbox Series other than Forza that was complete, functional, and well received, though there may be one or two I’m unaware of.
You make some points here. I don't advocate 100% for Microsoft, I just thought it might do some good to Activision.
You as well gave me some things to think about, cheers!
