  • I’ll be honest, I was in favor of Microsoft acquiring ActiBlizzKing. I didn’t have faith in the existing leadership and Microsoft has mostly taken a hands off approach with its developers. Since the acquisition, things have been mostly OK, at least on the Blizzard side. The biggest issue I have seen has been increased monetization, especially for WoW and D4. Not game ruining, but concerning.

    For this acquisition, FROM doesn’t appear to have management issues. I also do not like the direction Sony has been taking things, especially with their PC releases. They are also the market leader on Consoles, so I do not see this as required to stay competitive.








  • I think the cost of WoW has been fairly reasonable over the last 20 years. The subscription has stayed the same price of $15 per month the whole time, and if you know you are going to play WoW for the whole year, it is just $13 per month with an annual sub. The only thing that has gone up in price is the expansions which have gone from $40 to $50.

    I think another point that you are missing is that WoW players often spend most of their game time playing WoW, which means they spend less on buying other games.

    It’s not impossible for people to prefer Trump on certain policies while still wanting abortion to be legal.

    It’s why so many red states are trying to get it thru amendment because they know their state will never pass a bill to legalize it.

    These abortion amendments passing have been the only good thing about this election.
