Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard 🎮

One 'little' hope for RTS games?

I read today about Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard. I was surprised initially, maybe due to the deal amount of $68.7 billion(!!) But leaving the deal amount aside and after a bit of thinking. It made complete sense for Microsoft to go for this bold move!

Adding hit games like Activision Blizzard games to Xbox/PC library is a big win for Microsoft for the current years and their strategic aspirations towards the Metaverse.

Speaking of strategy.

I wish Microsoft would think about publishing new versions in the Real-time strategy genre that Activision Blizzard built then abandoned, like StarCraft 2 and WarCraft (The RTS version).

Out of this deal. I wish for StarCraft 3, and I'm good! 😄
