Hi there Newgrounds. This thread is just for fun, I don't expect any real discussion to come of it, but feel free to elaborate/respond/etc.
Basically, what company mergers or acquisitions got on your nerves, made you worried, etc.?
I remember back in '09, I was in my senior year of highschool when Activision Blizzard became a thing. I liked both companies respectively, but hated the idea of them merging. We were playing a stock market game too. It made me worry that the old Blizzard titles I grew up with would be bastardized in an attempt to please a writhing market. I wasn't wrong.
Another one is Square Enix. Just IMO, the entire FF series went to shit after Squeenix was born.
P.S. - doesn't have to be game companies. These are just the two that were most relevant to my life.
