Very sad about this decision. Blizzard has shown itself to be entirely incompetent, and seeing how well Microsoft managed the Minecraft IP I was looking forward to seeing what they could have done with the excellent blizzard IP.
No it doesn’t since Microsoft is doing just that with Bethesda. The Minecraft acquisition was at a time when MS had no good will and needed to earn some, plus it’s a lot of children playing that who can’t be bullied into buying another platform. This is not the case with future releases on games that basically every adult who plays games takes part in.
