If I were a company I would pay billions to have the MS lawyer team, the thing the managed to pull of is a miracle and a case that will be study for ages.

Trailer kinda made me cringe but it’s hard to make this purchase feel like a non corporate move.
Bethesda trailer still comfortably undefeated, it just felt natural with that one.
Can’t wait for the gamepass drops

MW3 is going to give them huge bank. Just in time.

i’m upset at the blizzard portion because VV is ‘trapped’ there. there’s no better dev for the THPS franchise other than VV. I’m sure the series is already on Phil’s ‘which ABK IPs we should revive’ list along with Guitar Hero and Spyro.

It’s final, holy shittttt. Beyond hyped I don’t have to buy cod anymore ! Besides MW3 hehe.
Xbox is safe now, no longer need to worry about the platform we love going under.

So glad they were able to complete this deal. Adds so much to Microsoft’s gaming division. Mobile gets a massive boost but so do console/PC/cloud and most importantly for me gamepass

It seems the GamePass drop might be slower than Zenimax (“months”).

Monumental year for Xbox. If only Redfall had hit, it would be a year of wall to wall bangers. 
Amazing, Xbox is setup to be one of the major pillars in all of gaming and can no longer be ignored or derided by media and fanboys that only want a one console world where Sony is the only option.
Regardless of what you will see for these entities Media and Fanboys this is a great thing for gaming and gamers.
Sony is a complete asshat company that goes out of it’s way to nickle and dime it’s userbase and push horribly anti consumer policies and features on them and for some stupid reason these lemmings love that.
With Xbox you have a stable choice of a gaming eco system that is actually wanting to earn your trust and money instead of just blindly fleecing you cause you are a loyal Sony fanboy and won’t complain.
Also a big FU to all the Sony oriented forums out their trying to pretend to be General gaming forums, you can drop the mask now.

Tony Hawk footage was quite prominent in the welcome video just posted, maybe that’s a hint of what’s to come?

It’s funny to see forum randos dooming about the “downfall of the industry” when actual ABK employees are really happy about the merger.

This is as big a day as when SEGA exited hardware. The landscape of gaming has shifted forever, and only time well tell if it is a success. But I cannot stop myself from being excited.
