I believe that's a good and a bad thing. I mean, Microsoft can't run this as bad as current Activition's boss are doing it. We may see a gain in the respect Activision gives to it's players. I think Microsoft is better than Sony to manage exclusivity and there is less hypocrisy.
On the other side ... that's a fucking big chunk of the gaming industry that goes to one player. If Microsoft wants to shit on every playstation players from now on, they will be able to do it and that's not good.
I don't think that'll help Microsoft sell more console than Sony anytime soon. Most players already chose their system and the ecosystem of back catalog and all makes switching from one to another a losing situation.
I'm with you on this. We've got the interesting people. The BS ones are too lazy. It's too much work for them to come here and shit on everyone (for now).
