IDK, they’ve done a pretty good job with Age of Empires, and Minecraft is still incredibly popular, and perhaps more popular since Microsoft bought them (IIRC, crossplay was added when Bedrock was released). I’ve heard they’re pretty hands off with the studios the buy, so if games suck, blame the studio. Activision Blizzard was already going downhill from a respecting the player standpoint before Microsoft bought them, and 343 really was never as good as OG Bungie.
If we’re comparing to Disney, that honor goes to EA. They’re the kings of dumbing games down and manipulating players into paying a ton for mediocre content.

I remember being so excited for fable 3 only to find it was not at all like 1 or 2.
