1

Amazon Games continued expanding its games publishing arm in February of this year, owing to the anticipated announcement that it would be taking on western publishing for NCsoft’s Throne & Liberty – but the announcement was set against the backdrop of turmoil at NCsoft, whose western CEO was ousted amid more mass-layoffs.

Meanwhile, chaos around the Microsoft buyout of Activision-Blizzard was still swirling as Bobby Kotick swung by network news channels to insult regulators and whip up xenophobia, ABK’s financial results downplayed Overwatch 2 and WoW Dragonflight, and Mike Ybarra volunteered himself as the next corporate bad guy.

Here’s the whole recap from February of this past year, from our top news stories of the month to our best editorials.
