I'm curious to see how much of it is genuine overlap that gets let go because acquiring them almost doubled the size of their gaming division. Ybarra leaving after saying he'd have to be dragged out a few months ago is probably a bad sign though

Is Diablo 4 even considered a success? I think that would be the only real big success Blizzard has had in years if so.

The merger is too new for some unforeseen catastrophe to have occured. This is almost certainly Microsoft barging in a John Wick costume and locking the doors behind them.

For it to get binned so thoroughly, it must've been an absolute howler from an external perspective...

Edit: Okay I actually clicked on the link. I’m wrong according to that article. Still seems strange to me. I assumed GP deals were strictly publisher based.

Publishing rights and who owns the IP are completely separate things and without us knowing what the original terms of that deal were and how they might carry over in changes of ownership, we just don't know how applies to putting it on Gamepass or anything. That Gamespot article is obviously speculation banged out by some writer just told to get SEO hits from Google searches. That's not definitive but neither is probably anything else we can point to either way.
