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

Then clearly you did not follow them enough. I have yet to see the likes of King David, Gaz, Colt, etc. scream at or berate a current/former industry vet live in the way that an entire PlayStation podcast did to David Jaffe all because he didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear.

There is nothing wrong with people having fun with some occasional ribbing. It’s entertainment and gaming is suppose to be fun. As a hockey/Leafs fan, poking fun at friends who like the Habs, Sens, Bruins, etc. is part of the fun of the sport.

However, when you allow fandom to seep into your day-to-day to the point that you risk your profession or become completely disrespectful towards others, that’s the appropriate use of ‘yikes’.

There’s a big difference between trash talking with your friends and selling it to make your brand.

Define risk.

I don’t see any ‘shocking’ motions in the stock market so where is the risk? ATVI shareholder like me sleep like a baby :woman_shrugging:

That money would need to be used to cover the losses on the stock price to keep his investors happy, it will not get to Kotick`s wallet.

The risk of no extension is all on Microsoft. Not ABK. There is no chance MS will pull out. So perhaps the risk is too one sided to sensibly negotiate an extension without some leverage from ABK?

That’s because there is no risk

It’s funny other sites are trying to concoct theories that ABK is going to be bought by the Saudi’s only because no updates on the deal have been made in the last 12 hrs or so. These people are completely insane

Deadline extended to Oct 18 - Bloomberg.

It is all just a ruse to give Bobby time to negotiate with Saudi Arabia.
