It doesn't change my thought the Activision purchase will end up like skype. Activision losses in the last years players. But because of selling optimization, their return per player becomes higher. So they do good, but it's not a long-term game.

Squeeze the money out and move on.

I will take Microsoft over Activision as a gaming company at any time. The gaming division of Microsoft is quite well run and have good policies when it comes to its customers. Like reasonable local pricing etc.

If there is one company that could turn the steaming shit pile that is Activision-Blizzard it's Microsoft.
