The UK's CMA admitted that competition in the console market wouldn't be endangered by Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Gearbox Entertainment has been purchased by Take-Two from Embracer Group.
Good as it should have been better then Embracer pawning them off to the next company like say Tencent.
It’s good to see at least some of Embracer’s studios escaping its embrace of death. A company the size of Embracer was doomed to fail due to low revenue.
It must suck working as a dev in these companies where the people on top just sell themselves to the highest bidder. The uncertainty felt by all the devs bought by embracer must've been nerve wracking.
The first Borderlands game was good. Second was pretty good but not as good as the first imo. Third game I had no interest in.
Holy crap this pretty much confirms the deal is going through.
Sony better start begging for a deal or they could lose out on COD in a couple of years.
Sony only focusing on CoD with their complaint, a game MS had no intention of making exclusive, pretty much handed them the win.
Will probably see other regulators approving the deal soon after too.
Hopefully this means the deal will go through and i also hope MS makes all Activision games exclusive to Xbox and put all game on Gamepass too. I've gotten used to not buying games anymore and i don't want to start doing it again.
It's also time someone stops Sony's monopoly in the gaming industry and to be honest i would prefer if somehow the CMA/FTC brought in legal measures to force Sony to release all their games either day 1 on PS+ or tell them to allow MS to put Gamepass on PS.
Thankfully this looks like the light at the end of the tunnel so that we don’t have to see ABK Deal in the headlines anymore…. This has been so tiring. I think this thing has driven people, online at least, deeper into their camps of fanboyism. Xbox Fans, please try PS5 - PS Fans, please try Xbox. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Going through was always the most likely outcome, sadly, but anyone thinking Sony were wrong to oppose it are actual morons. At the very least they went from a 3 year deal to a 10 year deal that is worth billions to Sony.
Now to see what floodgates this will open.
