Anybody who plays games is very happy about this. Activision is the worst of the worst and the Microsoft deal was a chance to cement this problem or make it even worse.

Per the agreement in the deal, when the deal closed Bobby Kotick would be out as CEO and replaced with Phil Spencer who is VERY well respected in the gaming community.
You actually have to make an argument, which you didn't.

The argument for why Microsoft would make things better is that we can look how great Microsoft has been handling similar gaming acquisitions, like Minecraft.

Your "argument" though seems to be repeat back someone else statement while saying "Nuh uhh!".

Do have an actual original thought here, as for why you think Microsoft would make things worse, when the evidence we have shows otherwise?

Or is the extent of your argument "Nuh Uhh!" And "I said the opposite of what you just said!"

Poe's law is difficult. I have no idea whether you actually believe that was the "argument" (nope, not even close) or whether you are trolling. I am going to go with the latter.
No, unhappy about this.

As you say, Activision is the worst of the worst and the MS deal was a chance to change this.

You think Activision is going to ditch the terrible leadership and change on its own? haha

Microsoft has done ok with not bastardizing its acquisitions under the current CEO, no?
