Microsoft Could Straight Up Buy Sony, By the Way

[Grand Conde]

Your version is half the story, it’s like starting mid story. When the controversy popped off Microsoft was the first company to take a shot at activision over it. But that was as business move because afterwards they inquired about buying them. The HNIP (pervert) was like fukk no, the investors was like “well how much you offering” and it snowballed from there. So the hnip was like fukk this let me see if Facebook wants to buy us. They wasn’t interested in making that big a move right now, So the hnip had to go along with the hostile takeover that was only possible because of the controversy that Xbox was wise enough to capitalize off of.

That’s the whole story…well, mostly whole

Wouldn't this be illegal because of the Sherman Antitrust Act?

Didn't Microsoft got in a lil trouble a while back for monopolizing operating systems with windows? Anybody cheering on conglomerates merging together is delusional

Yes, Activision were looking to sell, Kotick was trying to sell to Facebook first.

Yup. Phil did NOT want that to happen. Which is good for gaming as a whole imo.

Thats not what happened though. Microsoft approached Kotick first, and then Kotick went and shopped it to Facebook and another tech company to see if he could get a better deal. When that didn’t happen (probably because their company is literally financial poison right now) he went back to microsoft.

If anything microsoft planted to seed of acquisition in their heads. EA was also part of who Kotick approached for a buy out/merger

Bottom line it’s better for Microsoft to have bought it than any of the other companies. It’s better for gaming in general. If it had to happen. This was the best way.

Naw it would have been dope if another game company merged with them, rather than a platform holder

Keep believing that bullshyt “lesser of evils” that a 2 trillion dollar company is spoon feeding you
