What the holy monopoly is this. Basically the three worst major game developing companies have now joined forces. Activision, Blizzard, and now Ubisoft. Holy shit. Yea guess who isn't playing any more titles put out by them, big yikes.

Almost makes you miss the days when EA was the world's worst company.

They were always there lurking in the background making shitty titles, they just weren't in the light like the are now.

I'm confused. Why would this be the thing that stops you playing games by these companies? Especially considering Activision Blizzard might stop being so shitty when the people at the top leave after the acquisition. I'm not saying you shouldn't avoid games based on ethics, I just think this deal is a weird one to be the deal-breaker for you.

Never really liked titles from Activision or ubisoft to begin with and thats just my opinion, just enjoyed the odd blizzard game and that's been a rocky road as of late. I'm just not a fan of monopolies really, and if I can avoid shoveling money into the beast then I will. But as time goes on it will be harder and harder to navigate this because I'm sure there I'll be some games put out by companies owned by Microsoft because their reach is so big I'm starting to get more into indie games as well party because of this in part.

Fair enough. I do agree with you on the indie front. Hades and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite games of all time. Remnant 2 has knocked it out of the park. And there are so many interesting smaller games coming from indie studios these days.
