January 18, 20223 yr I wonder if they will throw any games onto Game pass like they did with Bethesda.
January 18, 20223 yr Just read this, and I was trying to explain to my girlfriend (who isn't a gamer and knows nothing about them) just how HUGE this news was to the gaming landscape. I couldn't really come up with a good analogy. Maybe when Star Wars, Fox, and Marvel were bought out by Disney? I don't mind Microsoft, and I subscribe to GamePass, so I think this can work out to my favor. Especially since Activision has been so toxic recently. Edited January 18, 20223 yr by MillerEP

Makes you wonder if the timing of all the allegations and airing of dirty laundry was deliberate.

Tell her it's like when Activision bought Blizzard.
January 18, 20223 yr I just hope one day Blizzard makes fun games again. Even their "remaster" games have sucked and those were based on amazing games.
January 22, 20223 yr I'm stoked. I love Blizzard games, and I primarily use Game Pass now. Hopefully they do it right
January 24, 20223 yr https://www.pcgamer.com/phil-spencer-wants-to-bring-back-the-activision-blizzard-games-he-loved-as-a-kid/ Nothing but good news, he actually mentions some Sierra games!
January 25, 20223 yr I loved Sierra games. All the Quest games are some of my all-time favorites. Would love a remastered Quest for Glory series. Hard to imagine and I don't recall how... but at one point I even received a Sierra magazine?

January 31, 20223 yr https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2022/01/31/sony-buys-bungie-destiny-playstation/9287566002/ Sony is now buying Bungie
January 31, 20223 yr Which companies are Apple and Google going to buy? Apple get EA? Google get Ubisoft?
