Holy shit that sucks. Good thing the Indi-games scene is doing so well. I don’t really need the AAA publishers anymore.

The good that can come from this (imo) is that unlike Activision, Microsoft discounts their games on Steam according to their age while Activision (historically) has been very stingy on sales of old Call of Duty games.
To my knowledge, there are zero Blizzard games on Steam. Microsoft has been open to putting new games on Steam (starting with the Halo: Master Chief Collection).
So if MS follows it’s current practices with Activision/Blizzard games, it could be a good thing for gamers.
