Did you know that Facebook could have potentially acquired World of Warcraft and all of ActiBlizz' games? Yup, we dodged a bullet boys. Just take a moment here to imagine having to log in to WoW, Diablo or Overwatch via Facebook. I almost threw up in my mouth a little.
So I needed to do a video on this. Not only is it potentially the largest MMO-related news.. probably in the last decade, but at the same time this is an MMO that has defined almost half my life.
In an announcement nobody was expecting, Phil Spencer confirmed via a blog post on January 18th on the official Xbox website that Microsoft would be acquiring Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion US dollars.
This could potentially bring about a re-emergence for various different Blizzard titles.
World of Warcraft could have an entirely altered business model. Free to play? Added to the Game Pass? A console version? A more competent team? A larger pool of resources for future content?
Overwatch might... okay, you know what? I actually have no hope for Overwatch 2 at all.
But StarCraft? Diablo? This could spell fantastic news for every intellectual property they have and in my opinion - which I know some of you might not necessarily agree with - is a massive win for us as not only gamers, but also fans of each of those respective properties.
