Microsoft Bought Activision And That's Terrible (The Jimquisition)

The saga is over and the misery begins! Microsoft just bought Activision in the biggest buyout in game industry history. I am disgusted. Let's discuss why it's horrid!

Very minor comment: Paying for online services hasn't been normalised on all platforms, yet. PC is still free.

I’ve never liked Scrooge McDuck, even when he was voiced by David Tennant.

Hey Steph, not sure if anyone else brought this up, but you mentioned looking at Stray Souls trailers at the beginning of the video. A couple of months ago it came up that the creator of the game Artur Laczkowski had been liking both transphobic and racist tweets. I figured a head's up was in order if someone hadn't given one already. Source: https://twitter.com/bobvids/status/1668268035478528000

oh, that's a bummer, the game looked kind of fun, oh well, plenty of other games to play that aren't being made by bigots

It was clear when Microsoft bought Obsidian that, from that point on, their games would be exclusive to Microsoft's platforms. Did you notice how Obsidian's previous games often supported Mac and Linux, but now they're Windows-exclusives for some reason? You'd expect *more* platform support with Microsoft's infinite money, but I guess games are too expensive to make 🤷‍♀️
