If I could only play one star wars game it would always be Lego Star Wars by a country mile.

I've survived about a week in my current run of Project Zomboid, and it's taken me this long to find a hammer so I could start dismantling my furniture and barricading the doors and windows. I found fresh oysters in the zombie apocalypse before I found a hammer.

Guess when they said they were reviewing their business arrangement with Activision, they meant "Here, have some bags of money"

Apparently if he were to leave his job now, with control of the company changing, he'd be due a $290 million golden parachute.

Honestly this is great news. Because I'm pretty sure that'll mean I can circumvent battlenet and just use gamepass to play activision games. And the time is really good since most of the ips they have are on hold or on standby.

This also hopefully will give starcraft and warcraft another chance due to microsoft bringing us age of empires 4.

I mean the man built activision into what it is today. He bought all his stock when activision was undergoing a crisis, took over, and basically made it into todays powerhouse. He even was the guy who bought blizzard and merged the two companies. Like him or hate him. He is basically the symbol of modern activision. Successful, popular, and holds the some of the most valuable IPs in the industry.
