Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.

[Fctftl]

what are you babbling about. 3 years for 120 is a great steal if I keep this Larry X.

Do you have a VPN?

Honestly,

I'd have been ecstatic if-instead of buying blizzard/Activision - Msft purchased the smaller developers who make games like Dying Light and Insurgency Sandstorm.

This would’ve been crazy. It’s all about the games end of the day.

 

[spliz]

stop being disingenuous bruh.

King of it. Lol

 

[old pig]

So GamePass is a good bargain now? I swear you Sony boys were just shytting on gamepass

dude literally said in this very thread that outside of halo infinite there’s nothing on GP lol

This is crazy, but 68 billion is nuts. Hope it works out, but i dont know. This is a huge risk

Goodnight for who?

Nobody buys a PlayStation to play COD or over watch so this will do very little to Sony.

CoD is consistently one of the best selling games on PlayStation here in America.

They spend mils advertising it lol

Not a permanent one, 3 years for 120? Only a jackass would turn that down.

Apple makes the most sense to me.
I worry that Apple would want too big of a chunk for their partnership though.

Sony products merging with Apple's ecosystem is interesting to me. Apple is also prepping for the metaverse, Sony has the tech, the devs and they already make high quality hardware (which aligns with Apple).

Sony has a lot of IP also that Apple would then be able to leverage for their Apple+ streaming service, the camera division/aspect as well... there's a lot of things that fit if Apple wanted to go that route, and that's not even getting into specifically gaming either.

Won't happen cuz Microsoft could offer more money only way that happens is if take two feels like some people in here do about how Microsoft is moving

Right...at this point, Sony can only buy the developers that MS allows them to buy

 

[Negro Caesar]

Sony already tried this with PS Now. It failed.

I do think MS will do a much better job with it, but people still like their physical consoles.

If cod is a exclusive, I can see a large number of ps fans getting a Xbox. Maybe a series S to fill that cod void they will have.

that's not what I said.

there's nothing that interests ME right now. Didn't say you or others. Just like theres a lot of cats who don't care for other shyt.

This would be the only way for Sony to survive long term

This isn't true. Sony is only bigger *right now* because their cuts from those 3rd parties are factored into their overall gaming revenue. Losing that is what will change the landscape. MS is not an underdog. They have never been an underdog.

Damn. Truthfully I didn't consider the loss of revenue from AB games so you are definitely correct. Now I'm curious how big a chunk of Sony's revenue that is.

if it's not available on PS, absolutely. But if it's still gonna be on there, they won't leave.
