Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all

Eighteen months ago, I was an advocate for Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard, because I didn’t think anybody could have done a worse job than Bobby Kotick.
Phil Spencer has proven me wrong. This arsehole tried to shut down Tango Gameworks after they literally shadowdropped a critically acclaimed GOTY contender.
Bizarre Creations had the misfortune of being owned by both of them before being shut down.
It really shows that something is fucked up in businessland that they’re so bad at managing studios, when managing studios is literally all they fucking do.
Same with EA. It’s just a wasteland of dead companies. The list of studios they’ve closed is bigger than the list of ones they still own.
Never underestimate Phil Spencer.

I still kinda want Microsoft to by Activision Blizzard, but not for altruistic reasons.

But Microsoft already bought Activision Blizzard.

Shows how much I care about the output of either company.
