This purchase is about the “meta-verse”, this purchase is about the cloud-gaming future. Honestly, COD is a drop in the bucket as far Microsoft’s long term plans. COD, sans Warfare, will be a console/PC exclusive. I doubt COD will be released on an annual basis anymore.
If they cull the woke, this will be good for games and gamers. If not, then not.
My question is why the f this step towards monopoly„,..
Was Activision broke ..
Was their an fund shortage in operations in activision..
The owners of the activision is like they had no intrest in running the business more .…
Everything owned by only those handfull of companies is dangerous…
10 years from now, we look back and laugh at how we used to spend £500 almost every year to upgrade consoles. Cloud gaming is literally a game changer.
This must stop now, Microsoft is trying to monopolize gaming and the Government has to stop Microsoft now. They went after Google and Apple , They must put a stop to this. This is absurd. They can not beat Playstation so they buy all these gaming companies to deprive Playstation of these games to try and hurt playstation sales.
“Welcome to the Xbox family… We’re all adopted because our dad is sterile.”
If it was easy to get rid of Bobby the share holder and others in the company would have gotten it done by now but its not that simple and Microsoft isn’t about to tell him they will fire him day one or else he would have never gone along with the sale. So they play the PR game by not saying anything bad about him at the same time don’t defend him. When they “officially” take over they he will be gone with a severance package. Is it fair, no but its the only way to get rid of him.
If Microsoft buys TakeTwo I will sell my soul and never buy a playstation again.
Yup, just look what happened to Mojang, not good.
lol rejoicing with an old trash devs? they can’t still create good games
We’re experiencing overpowering signals. The mobile data service will shut off if this is operator 1.
Boy, if i was Sony this would be really scary.. pretty sure the PS brand products are the main bread winners now.
Finally we’ll be able to see a Bill Gates NPC in World of Warcraft.
Can’t wait to play more cods from gamepass!
Microsoft buys something = the world becomes a bit darker = less Mac compatibility in perspective (aka racism)
Microsoft still has 60 billion budget to acquire more studios for this year, so ps shares will fall again.
God that beard is absolutely horrific.
pheww.. good thing i have a pc and ps4 lol i don’t really have anything to worry about tbh
Breaking news Nintendo buys SEGA, Capcom, and Ubisoft…………Not really but could you imagine if that actually happened next week?
Is this why Activision filed a copyright claim against a video I made last night of my playthrough of Skylanders Swap Force? A game that’s 8 years old!!
At that purchase price, it makes a lot of sense that the core interest of MS in this acquisition of Activision Blizzard is to support its effort to conquer the metaverse. That’s beyond the gaming market. Otherwise, probably not so much.
All I want is good servers on Call of Duty! and make them great again.
lol. If it were Sony who bought Activision, there’d not even be a discussion about whether they’d be locked to PS, everyone would know that such would be the case. But with Microsoft, “The smart money says that these games are just too big to be on just Xbox and PC and XCloud.”. So, if Sony buys, the games aren’t too big to be locked to a single platform; but if Microsoft buys, the games are too big to be kept to three platforms?
The logical pretzels are delicious.
They’re gonna end up buying Ubisoft
If sony was smart they would make A competitor to cod
with activision under microsoft just opens up microsoft to buy more companies. in the future microsoft just has to buy 12 companies that put microsoft in danger. so a close buyout never happens again talking about ibm and apple came close to a buyout of microsoft in the past
Hmmm, I gotta dig up my 2000 shares and figure out how to exchange them for Microsoft.
Cloud gaming is not the future, lol.
buy take two, gta becomes xbox exclusive, game over for sony?
I hope this means we will get a new starcraft or warcraft rts? I feel like act bliz didn’t care to make any new rts games so maybe Microsoft will push it now that they jus released aoe 4
Excellent update
Blizzard sold out to Activision then Activision fed upon the soul of Blizzard until it was a withered husk then Activision sold out to Microsoft lol
lol why would Microsoft pay 70 billion to keep releasing those games on PlayStation? They were already coming to Xbox anyway.
As long as MS puts WOW on my XBOX, nothing matters. Let’s Go Satya — Let’s GO!
Microsoft please buy konami they not making games anymore really and i miss good yugioh games and castlevania etc alot people does
I felt sad when I learned Spiderman games were exclusive on PS!😅
I hope to be able to see new Hexen games
I have a legit question, will we see warcraft elements in skyrim?
I really want microsoft to buy sony so they can beat playstation
68 billion.….jesus
Cmon bill, you done terrorized the whole world already. Can you atleast fix WC3 custom games before your funding of mengele 2.0 kills everyone one earth?
Microsoft needs some more first parties to their list. Microsoft had a trash list of games for a long time compared to sony. Buying big game companies and making exclusive content from those said companies, like sony. This convinces people to buy the xbox more. You see, the xbox is are great consoles but their content is mostly not exclusive and probs the exclusive ones are trash. Sony has good games, spiderman, ratchet and clank so on and so forth.
I hope it means all developers lose their jobs, they have driven the game into the ground and are too outdated and but hurt to stay. GET RID OF THEM!!!. It needs to go ftp as well with a huge pay store
esports are dying as they should
Ubisoft..please
Bruh blizzard don’t need no changes
