The deal closed today. $68.7 Billion Dollars


Maybe we'll get Diablo on Steam now.

I saw something last week saying Diablo IV was coming to steam. Overwatch and MW2 are already on steam. I would expect it (D4) to filter onto game pass within 6 months or so.

It goes live on Steam on October 17th with the launch of season 2. Best part about it is if you already own it on Battle.net you get to pay for it again on Steam.

I hope this helps bring back some creativity on the Blizzard team.

I don't know that it will but hopeful me wants to see them splinter the cash grab games off from the exceptional IP and just get back to releasing excellent games with minimal monetization.

Probably won't happen but, hopeful me still hopes

That's my reaction to this. I have no idea what this will ultimately mean for Activision and more importantly to me the Blizzard side of things. It might not change a thing. But I'm hoping it will lead to improvements in some of the Blizzard IP that I love that has been a big bag of meh for a long time now.

Pretty cool as a guy that's been in the Xbox ecosystem for years. Gamepass is going to be insane. It's already full of games that I want to play but don't have time for.

Yea, I don't have to buy AAA games anymore. We got Starfield, Forza, and soon Cities Skylines II.
