| AkimboCurly said: You're right. There's a lot more to miss from the Bethesda acquisition than this one. I say that as a primarily xbox/PC player whose only modern PS console is a base PS4. I think that's mostly because Activision has left many of its beloved franchises unused. Crash has no active delopment and Spyro neither. One thing which does excite me about this purchase is the liberation of Call of Duty, which despite the gem in the rough of Modern Warfare (2019) has been in my opinion in decline in terms of quality and sales since Black Ops 2 (2012). I know there's a lot of derision towards it, but I consider most entries before 2012 to be amongst the greatest games of that generation. And, like it or not, the FPS genre is now split between BR and fantasy arenas. BF2042 is a flop. I think some smarter management, a grittier story could get that series on its feet again. Also the big bonus for all platforms, even Playstation, is that Bungie is liberated from Activision. |
For the market and Sony it is possible that Activision is a bigger loss if they go exclusive, but for most gamers on this forum Zenimax is likely much heavier loss.
For me considering the big western publishers Activision, EA, T2 and Ubi I would only miss Ubi more likely, T2 have good games but not much on my particular taste, now EA and Activision in general doesn't even register for me.
