Seriously: MW2 was rough for more than half a year and each season refresh brings back bugs already fixed. Vanguard is only two years away and could itself only have around two years of serious development time since it used the same engine as MW 2019, while Cold War used Treyarch‘s own stream. Even if Sledgehammer started development right after Vanguard they‘d only have two years of development time, but early rumors of CoD 2023 just being a larger live service update for MW2, instead of a new game point towards CoD 2023 using the same engine as MW2. In this case the major development time would have been what? A year? Besides Blizzard enshittifying their first solid release in years for a few MTX bucks right now, CoD 2023 feels like the next thing to crash and burn like Vanguard. Bobby is driving the whole company into the ground and I feel like the acquisition cannot come fast enough for CoD to have any chance of long term survival.

Yeah, about that …

Economists who want to use the platform to discuss economist topics? Why should public figures hide their identity on all their accounts?

I think it is really funny that with all the consolidation talks in the gaming industry, we hear so little rumors about UbiSoft getting bought. Microsoft is on a buying frenzy, SONY gets nervous, EA and Take2 have many multiples of Ubi’s equity, just to name the obvious players. The gaming industry has just been rated as more valuable than each the publishing, music and movie industries. Still UbiSoft seems to be in such a bad spot we don’t constantly hear publicly about a possible future acquisition.

I created a bot account for this, so all green on that front, will experiment with it, thanks!

Yeah, I let it run by night and saw what I did today. You are totally right, I will probably need to clean up a few things.
