minus-squareSaneless@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down10·1 year agoMy other stance is that Activision is so shitty to its workers and customers, let’s give someone else a try
minus-squarest3ph3n@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up15·1 year agoI just want to see Bobby Fucking Kotick gone.
minus-squareSaneless@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoYeah he’s a real piece of shit. That alone is a good reason
minus-squareBlack AOC@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI don’t care who wins. I just need Kotick to lose.
minus-squareSatouKazuma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoSee, I agree with this angle, but at the same time it kind of feels like a Pyrrhic victory.
minus-squareTheGod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down7·1 year agoMicrosoft doesnt have a bad track record in gaming and doesn’t have greedy approaches. They like to dump money without forcing profits. It is a win for gamers
minus-squareSaneless@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down8·1 year agoEh, depending on where you’re at, not so much is lost
minus-squareCaptainEffort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down2·1 year agoFurther consolidation is a major loss

minus-squareSaneless@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoSo far there’s nothing that says this is a loss for anyone other than Sony not able to do exclusive COD things or keep COD off Game pass
