Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.

[spliz]

Congrats to Microsoft but I won't miss COD on PS anyway cause I barely play COD so COD damn fell off anyway.

All of them franchises fell off if u wanna be real. We gonna see what Microsoft does with them in the future.

Only a matter of time til Nintendo takes their head out their ass and want in on that game pass money pot….and they already got the setup since they close as hell with Microsoft nowadays, if this rumor is true they even let Microsoft get this goldeneye remake thats supposed to be dropping

Don’t be surprised if we see a gamepass app on switch in a year or two

Activision Sexual Misconduct Fallout Prompted Microsoft to Pursue Deal

Activision Blizzard Facebook Acquisition Was Considered Before Microsoft - PlayStation LifeStyle

They were trying to sell. If Microsoft didn’t buy them, someone else would have.

imagine if Facebook or google got them

IMO, This is way worse than Disney doing what they did.

Spoiler

I wanna know where were all these monopolist when Microsoft and Nintendo came together to allow cross platform gaming and Sony basically said no and even later when they conceded added in all these financial stipulations as a poison pill so most companies wouldn't do it.

Where were all of them when Sony got Square Enix to pull what has been a tent pole franchise for generations in Final Fantasy off Xbox? That's fair but the threat of Microsoft maybe taking Call of Duty off the market? The government needs to step in.

Where were they when Sony posted more gaming revenue than Microsoft and Nintendo combined? Where were they when Sony smacked up indie developers and those developers went on the internet to cry about their poor treatment?

I guess all of Sony's bad behavior gets a pass because it's organically grown right? Can we please stop trying to call Microsoft a monopoly because they consumed a few companies and still will be the #3 player in the market? Can we stop calling them a monopoly when they're clearly not all the while ignoring a larger company in the space that uses it's market dominance to get it's way on just about everything virtually unchecked?

It's all so disingenuous. Most people here don't care about there being a gaming monopoly. They were cheering for Microsoft to leave the space. They sat silent as Sony used their overwhelming dominance in the space to their own ends. Let's be real here it's not what but who controls shyt they care about.

In my eyes if Microsoft can become a more legit competitor to Sony and keep them honest I'm all for that. The market leader needs a strong competitor not a weak one. You tell me between Sony and Microsoft since Phil Spencer took over Microsoft who's been at the forefront of pro-consumer behavior for the most part and who's been riddled in anti-consumer fiasco after fiasco.

Sony gets god levels of appreciation for their ridiculous ps2 catalog but it was a bunch of snake ass shyt they was pulling in them days

Money-hatting games off other platforms was a common occurrence and wasn’t even necessary most of the time since they had a bulk of the player base but did it anyway. Sony played the game of business just like all the other publishers did…they hyped up a damn DVD player to get Sega out the paint completely…basically robbed namco at one point….and all this gained them good will

They always (un)fashionably late so I feel they will jump on the current wave of what’s going on eventually

Even Japan starting to get on this streaming wave.

Nah bro. Nintendo don’t give a fukk. They not even fixing their own broken online system. U still gotta use a fukking cell phone to chat bruh. On top of the fact they rolled out the N64 online shyt and still ain’t even bother to fix that. They don’t give a fukk about nothing bro. Lol

Yea that’s fukked up



Nintendo fans just be accepting any ole thing to get some new Zelda

 

[Rekkapryde]

Sony didn't do that because they couldn't, if they could have they would have.

You're 100% assuming. We're going by 100% undocumented FACTS. Woulda Coulda vs what actually has happened over 2 plus decades. BIG difference.

This is what it takes to make it in this space. Sony came in because Nintendo fumbled the ball and gave them an opportunity but this just isn't a space where an up and comer can enter and have any real success. If an opportunity isn't presented you have to create one. We've seen many companies fall in console gaming. If Xbox didn't have Microsoft's backing of funds it would have been gone along time ago. So let's stop bemoaning them from doing what's necessary to stay relevant.

So when they went to Sega to work with them and Sega agreed and then turned around and shytted on them it was cool right? When the PlayStation came out and Sega was doing commercials throwing PlayStations out of the window n shyt like that it was cool right? Sega fukked their OWN self. By the time Dreamcast dropped they were flimsy as fukk from all of the wasted money, bad decision making, and in fighting. Then they fukked up by putting the console out without any copyright protection allowing for burned games to just run on the system without modding and didn’t try to fix it until the end of 2000 with a different revision. They didn’t have the money to keep up so of COURSE when Sony pops thru and flex they muscle with a new console that can also play dvd’s it was wraps. Sony was still eating off the PS1 thru the N64 and Dreamcast era. I don’t wanna hear that bullshyt blaming Sony for Sega’s decade worth of fukk ups.

Now Sega was far from perfect we all know



But Sony had no problem pulling a scar on mufasa on they ass either

But that’s how it is in business

Sony spends billions on keeping games and content off Xbox.

If they could, they would just buy the games outright
