Microsoft – Episode 375

In this episode, I talked about Microsoft and its intended acquisition of Activision Blizzard King. One country is cool with it, while others are still investigating. Various news sites wrote their own opinions about how the acquisition might go. There’s also a letter from Bobby Kotick about this. In addition, I talked about Diablo Immortal’s Season 4 and the “orb debt” problem. I also pointed you towards content from the Diablo community mostly about Diablo Season 27.
