It’s truly tragic and sad to helplessly watch the whole industry be consolidated by massive company’s. And now we are seeing the results as games have in general become so much less innovative and safe than historically.

I would usually agree with you, but in this specific case, ABK is such a shit company with awesome IPs that I’m just happy they’re being acquired by somebody else than Tencent.

I don't know if I would agree that Activision-Blizzard is the example to hold up for innovation and risk-taking in game development.
