I have heard similar things. As long as the bang for the buck is there, I am all in.
Series X (or S if you have it) + Xbox Gold (1 or more years) + $1 Game pass ultimate for new subs converts it into a year (or up to 3 years max) of Games Pass Ultimate is the best value in gaming.I also managed to snag something that is almost as difficult to get as a 30 series Nvidia gfx Card, an Xbox Series X and it will be here in time for Christmas
Offline installs, cloud gaming, new games, indies,... its been a bit overwhelming actually.

Sickening. All those employees who marched demanding an overhaul to workplace culture will get termination notices instead. That Kotick is sticking around makes the optics look even worse.Welcoming the Incredible Teams and Legendary Franchises of Activision Blizzard to Microsoft Gaming - Xbox Wire

No they wont, MS wont terminate a ton of people for that, also Kotick is pretty much only around until the deal is final then he will likely be gone, Phil Spencer today was made head of Microsoft Gaming and everyone at AB will report to him the same as all the other studios will/already do.

It's a good move for Xbox and fans of Activision games. I'd put them right behind EA as far as bad developers. I would have rather they buy SEGA as the only real game from this I care about is Diablo.

My problem with that would be sega has a lot more content that would be too edgy for Nintendo. I know they've gotten better with letting edgier stuff on their systems, but I don't see them making it. Can you imagine a Yakuza or condemned or heck even a golden axe done by Nintendo. I would like sega under Xbox studios because I think they would actually use the wealth of IPs they have.

That's true. But I'm a sega fanboy, and all those classic IPs, skies, space harrier, wonderboy, shining, phantasy star... Sitting collecting dust upsets me. So I'd take them exclusive on xbox rather than buried at sega.

Ehh, just because Microsoft would have those IPs doesnt necessarily mean new games would come out of them.

That is also true. But It can't be Worse than what sega has done, which is almost nothing. So I'd take that chance. Xbox has always wanted to get some credibility in Japan. So I just can't see them ignoring the classic sega franchises.
Well, Nintendo ‘bought’ Bayonetta for the Switch so I don’t see them having an issue with them. The question is would other publishers and devs want it on the Switch or whatever is following the Switch.

That's why Xbox is the most logical choice. They want some relevancy in the Japanese market for one. They obviously have the cash so it wouldn't be a financial risk to tap into the back catalog of games. It would be great for gamepass as well. I really just can't see any studios outside of Xbox taking a chance on releasing their classic IPs. Sega has nearly killed its name recognition, especially with its classics. You would have to be willing to take a loss in order to rebuild the brand and start making money. And Microsoft can afford to do that. Heck, if you can't revive any of the games, there is a whole back catalog of games to release on compilations that people are willing to spend on.
