I remember how much games media was hyped on the activision acquisition. It's probably because Kotick and Blizzard execs are a bunch of bastards but that doesn't make MS execs great. Just less shitty. Also had the feeling like games media at the time saw it as strengthening western games studio employment stability. Things have not gone as hoped for in the last few years
