I'll echo those who said that this is a worrisome trend in general but perhaps a good thing in this particular case. I don't think it's going to have much effect on me personally, in that I haven't really been playing too many Activision Blizzard games anyway. The only one I've played in the last few years is Overwatch, and I've mostly walked away from that due to general dissatisfaction with its direction. Frankly, the best news that could come out of this from my perspective would be if they scrapped Overwatch 2 entirely and started over from scratch. Not that I'm expecting that, but it would be very welcome news to me since I think the entire franchise is headed in the wrong direction and has been for some time.

As for Activision Blizzard's biggest brands, I really couldn't care less what happens to World of Warcraft or Call of Duty.
