Well, soon we will have a remix of the good old blue screen, hotfixes during gameplay, and Cortana wants you to give help by using your weapons and killing peolpe. 
Sounds good

As a Game Pass PC subscriber, I welcome this news.  It could all go south, because, well, Microsoft, but consider what an absolutely spectacular thing they did resurrecting MS Flight Simulator.  FS2020 is a quantum leap in flight simulator realism.  Everyone thought MS had totally exited the market, and X-Plane became the defacto standard.  X-Plane was good, too, and I even switched to it before MS ditched the FS team.  But when FS2020 hit the market, I think it must have all but killed X-Plane in one massive sucker punch.

Activision?Blizzard couldn't fix their deeply ingrained management issues and the culture they created in their employment atmosphere. Things can only go up from where they are now.

Nah if you look at the markets in general it will soon be pay to play...Meaning the base will be cheap or free and then to level up you will need to spend...One off the wall example of this is Toyota announced their remote start from key fob will be by subscription only...Even Microsoft has been hinting to monthly subscriptions...I personally believe gaming system will go the way of the 8 track tape

I have Never been a supporter of having to buy a game and expansions and then having to pay for subscriptions and having to buy In-game Currency or weapons or attachments and what not to actually play the damn thing and be competitive. 

 

It sucks how these Big companies buy up the smaller companies and completely fuck the shit up and quickly end up Doing away with every thing that the smaller companies did.

Example BF1942 Desert Combat mod was a Mod made by the small Developer group named Trauma Studios. EA Digital Illusions CE bought them out and formed DICE New York. Very Shortly after the release of BF2, DICE New York was closed to "Save Money". In reality the ex Trauma Studios employees that worked there were not happy with EAs decision to not release the Mod Tools which would officially open BF2 up to the ever growing modding community. 1 of the Lead ex Trauma Studios Employees leaked a Partial Mod Tool kit for BF2 and was Quickly Fired. 

 

The BF series hasn't been the same since. BF1942 had Hundreds of Full Game Transforming mods back in the day. I probably had more than 50,000 hours in that game. The Modding community made a few mods for BF2 with the Partial Mod Kit that was leaked but they were severely limited. Desert Conflict and Project Reality were the 2 best mods for BF2. I was a Pre Alpha, Alpha and Beta tester for DCON Desert Conflict.

Me and my 2 brothers did alot of "work" if you can call it work, in the release trailers for DCON. That was fun as heck. A couple of the DCON Devs got jobs with EA and have been working on the BF games since the OG BF Bad Company.

Me and my 2 brothers did most of the flying in the trailer. I wrecked the AC-130 trying to get a road kill on one of my clan mates that was in a Tank near the end lol.
