Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT2| The NeverEnding Acquisition

Right I’m in the same boat, won’t be a gotcha like some of these people think. Nothing will really change for Xbox gamers.

Yea we did not get their crappy games anyway, they can keep them

Is that not why Xbox users want Sony to buy SE though? So that Sony blows money on an acquisition that doesn’t hurt Xbox at all?

Square still makes great AA games for Switch and with how awful Octopath 2 has sold on Playstation I’d think Sony would nip such games in the bud, would be very unfortunate.

I do not see this acquisition happening though so I’m not worried.

Unpopular opinion. i hope MS makes all future ABK games multiplatform and not just CoD. As long as the games come to Game Pass i am good. also doing this would make it more likely that MS can acquire more studios and publishers in the future without much scrutiny.

I think they should be like Bethesda

Some make sense to be multiplat, others exclusive

I think Overwatch, COD and games like those are ok to be multiplat but stuff like Diablo, Spyro and the like should be exclusive same with any new IP even if it is multiplayer.

Some people just like to dismiss everything that destroys their narratives because they’re trolls or miserable people who just have to be right to feel validated. Keep that in mind today, because as I said not too much earlier, you can set a fucking clock to it.

I can’t wait to see the update about how the stock price went up premarket and how it’s a sign that the deal will go through :upside_down_face:

I remember people were discouraged about this. All it takes is one move to change everything.

The up and downs during this whole deal have been wild

Clearly this deal is going to go through now. The CMA is well aware of the public scrutiny around this, and you don’t update the provisional findings in that manner without heading toward passing of the deal. Sure, they still have to address “cloud concerns”, but Microsoft is so far out in front already on that and will do whatever else is necessary there to ensure the passage. This game is over, end of story. And Sony knows it too now.

Stumbled upon this:

Normally I would let it go.

But….
