Microsoft looking to buy EA or Valve

[Bawon Samedi]

But MAN!!!!!.... If MS buys Valve oh boy... PC gamers are gonna...

People gotta understand this aint just entertainment or even a hobby for them but a LIFESTYLE... Plus PC gamers already view MS as the devil(literally).

Article mentioned Valve in passing as a "whispered rumor".

Not saying it's impossible but Gabe and by extension Valve stands to gain nothing from MS (or anyone) buying them out. If MS is having an exclusive games issue Valve ain't gonna help, they don't even make games any more. The sole reason to acquire Valve would be Steam....and again, Valve has no reason to sell it. It's basically a license to print money, and Gabe and his core employees are already rich. They been rich since the 90's.

As a gamer,

I'd be disappointed to see the Battlefield series as an exclusive.

As an Xbox Stan, I'd only point my finger at nikkas and be like... See, is this what y'all wanted as a result of this bum ass console wars?

for 1/3rd of their total cash pot

they on a good path now with Fortnite, PUBG, Sea of Thieves.. just gotta keep going down that path

Microsoft makes a couple billion a quarter, how much you think EA is worth?

This move would force you to do what you already wanna do

don't blink...

$10/MONTH FOR ONLINE PLAY

$15/MONTH STEAM+ SUBSCRIPTION

MANDATORY STEAM CONTROLLER PLAY FOR SELECT TITLES

NO MORE WEEKLY DEALS

NO MORE GAMES UNDER $10



WOOOOOOOOOOO

Gamepass and EA access for $15 a month, $150 for both of those and live for a year. Add Netflix or Microsoft equivalent to the bundle for $200 a year...

Spoiler

Woo Woo Woooooo

MS and Valve have a strained relationship to say the least, so I don't see it panning out.

This is a semi hostile takeover not a "hey friend, I'll sell you my company because I like you" type of deal

That's not how ambitious people think but ok. With the money they would get from the sale, that secures bigger generational wealthy situations. Different league of expeditionary...

See. This is a discussion about money. Something you know nothing of.

If you read the fukking article you would see financial information vital to the post I made and you quoted. But you a broke peasant who doesnt understand basic finances as this.

The article states Microsoft has a $120 billion cash pool to buy shyt with. EA market capitalization is $35 billion (roughly 30% of their entire cash pool, or close enough to 1/3rd).

Maybe you’ll learn some basic financing in here and will prosper to lead a better life. Doubt it though.

Do it

fukk em up

 

[duckbutta]

If Valve sells out to microsoft then let Ragnarok commence and end it all...

They DEFINITELY going to charge money just for the steam app...

 

[ORDER_66]

Microsoft buying EA gawdamn... that means all their titles and subsequent EA acquisitions belong to them...

Now it's getting interesting... Msoft should have brought Bioware considering the strength of the first and second mass effect... but Noooooooooo.... it was a wasted opportunity...

Now, I might consider buying an xbox one cause they might have games to play in the future...

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Microsoft should open new studios. I can't say that enough. New studios,new ip. That's how you win the mind share.

What in the name of Foxy Brown kinda math is this?

 

[the_FUTURE]

I doubt it would actually go through but the fukkery would be biblical if it happened.

type of shyt that would make @PS4 go another 4 years in the Acradium.
