Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT3| - Sony bends the knee!

Closure on Monday? How so?

The ticker ATVI which is Activision is going away. It will be inside MSFT which is Microsoft. Basically, Monday is a guaranteed if not earlier like say the weekend.

Time was your ally…but now it has abandoned you.

Interestingly enough…isn’t July 18th exactly 18 months to the day since the deal was announced. How precise.

ATVI is not going away or will be delisted on Monday according to the news and NASDAQ itself.

ATVI will not be part of the NASDAQ-100 index on Monday any more. Which is already a big deal and hints to bigger things.

Where da first batch drop at

When I first got internet back in like 07, I used Gamefaqs so much for my FF runs, good times

The forum section was just nonstop console wars on both the ps3/360 areas though, it was just carnage

I hope they got roundtable ready on Monday but more importantly, the welcome to the family trailer.

Was he part of the Bethesda roundtable too? I don’t remember him being there.

I appreciate the kind words. I enjoy making these kinds of videos, but you’re quite right, it can get time consuming. If I can secure investment for XboxEra while I’m out at Gamescom, then it’ll get me one step closer to being able to move to content creation full time - alongside other members of the team too.

In the near term, everyone’s support - from folks on this forum, to our YouTube members and our Patreon supporters mean so much. You all make this possible, and in some way, I like to think of all of you as a part of this team.

You’re helping build the kind of outlet and resource that I hope you want to have exist.

I don’t remember him being at the round table but he was a part of that interview with Pete, Todd and Phil that happened very quickly after the acquisition got finalised

I’m sure he was involved in some capacity.

His official job title is Senior Director Corporate Communications

He wasn’t there but likely behind the scene. That and maybe the next roundtable will be more involved since it’s no more Covid code in place to prevent them from putting more effort in person.

It’s normally a prelude to a delisting or the stock will not have any more trading volume.

It has been awesome to see this community grow and the review videos and group videos are awesome.

This site to me has passed teamxbox as the best xbox oriented site and forums ever for Xbox.

So glad to have a place to go where I know I wont be trolled for enjoying xbox.

In my opinion people should feel confident about call of duty’s chances of going to Gamepass for the simple reason that even MLB the Show was day1 Gamepass. PlayStation didn’t see the Gamepass threat in past contracts therefore hasn’t started excluding Gamepass in contracts until very recently. I would even say the same about backwards compatible Spider-Man games, Sony probably never excluded those in its Spider-Man contract with Disney so we could be seeing Activision’s Spider-Man soon on Xbox. This idea that PlayStation creates water tight, 4-d chess style contracts is false. Exhibit A: MLB the Show Day1 Gamepass.
