To everyone whose been pestering me for years about why we didn't allow Moon Studios to get acquired by a big publisher…
That's why.
I've lived through the 90s and saw what happened when smaller studios got acquired by EA.
Never again 🤣😂 https://t.co/BHXm37PC2M

Yup. Money comes with strings. Look at how many studios EA and Microsoft have killed. Don’t make a deal with the devil.
Also because any publisher would want him removed as CEO as part of the acquisition
Is this mf using a laughing emoji as a reaction to news of studios being shut down? Those are people losing their jobs.Â
I think his point above that is well taken. But suggesting any of that is funny is childish.Â
Why use the laugh emoji?? Your statement is far more impactful without it.
Shit like this is why I didn’t get all the Xbox people who were so aggressively defending Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard. They manage their studios like shit and always have. Xbox users were already able to play everything Activision released because they’re 3rd-party. What did they think they’d be gaining from having Microsoft gobble up another chunk of the industry?
