Could you try to be less "I literally can't even right now"?
Who is the monster? Activation for buying someone who screwed one person over or you know... weapon industries, Nestle, pharma etc. etc.?

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Wait what
I missed that, who said KING or Candy Crush brings in 36 billion in revenue?
That number is way, way off
King does around 2 billion of revenue and around 500 million profit from all its games annually
Some people just cannot read financial reports at all
Anyway, the reason KING is so cheap at around 6 billion is because people expect candy crush etc revenues to fall in following years, so unless KING makes a new hit game, they're a dead company
Nothing ActiBlizz has done has convinced me they aren't "morally rotten", but nothing they have done has convinced me they are an above and beyond terrible, awful, EA-level company either.
The fact they bought King has nothing to do with this, that said I am surprised they bought it. I can't imagine why they did.

Love 'em or hate 'em big AAA Publishers are money-making machines. I hate WoW but play Destiny. Same family of games. Difference? Find something you enjoy. Instead of 'X is evil, shun all of it' just play what you like.

Kujako you are on fire this morning. Keep the laughs coming =D
Don't confuse Blizzard with Activision Blizzard. They are not the same entity. As for the acquisition, I think it was a smart move. The mobile space is the way of the future and having a company like King will come in handy for Activision Blizzard. One less competitor at the very least. Caught me slightly by surprise though. Being a former employee of King and knowing the kind of company culture I thought they would never sell out.
I have absoultely no feeling about certain game developers or publishers, one way or the other.
I just buy games I like and play them. Don't care about the companies background.
No one talked about the developers of their NES and SNES games either back in the day. And why would you care?
I really need to go to lunch, totally read this title as Blizzard buying Burger King.

I was hoping they would buy Peggle so we could play that during flight paths. Instead we get candy crush. Ugh
"They will come for us now, all of them" "Let them come, Frostmourne The Banshee Queen hungers."
Look at the direction they have taken WoW, menus and mini-game bullshit. This isn't a surprising buy, it will make them plenty of money and that is what Activision wants, fuck morales.

Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
