    I’m torn between wanting Activision to get new management and not wanting Microsoft to aquire two major companies and dominate the market

            I think it’s a bit of both. King is a big name in the market, but mobile gaming is just such a massive revenue stream for companies anyways. IIRC, the mobile market accounts for more money than all other gaming markets combined.

                Those aren’t the same customer demographics. The overwhelming majority of mobile phone gamers don’t know the first thing about emulators. Not to mention, other factors like mobile games being designed to tap into addictive triggers in the brain, social engineering, etc.

      I mean when Microsoft purchased Bethesda it made things better than they were at the time and we got access to a lot more older titles. Just look at what Redfall was and then compare it to Starfield. Microsoft didn’t have any hands in Redfall but did in Starfield.

        I don’t think this is really a good comparison since Starfield was in development for years before Microsoft came in. Plus, Redfall was forced by management to shoehorn in a live service model with mtx during its development, butchering what it had been before.

        And, this is just my personal opinion, but I think Starfield is a pretty mediocre game. Besides the ship design, it’s largely the same design that Bethesda has had since Oblivion.
