Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT4| - Dawn of the Final Day, Deal is done!

Pretty likely. Remember, Bethesda officially joined and shortly later after the announcement, roundtable was uploaded.

Cloud being dominated by Amazon and Microsoft is a worry in an industry that has been growing massively year on year and which is already worth over $500bn in revenue a year. Then there’s the worry that AI is only going to boost these numbers and a ton of the investment into AI is from the big three cloud providers.

Consumer segment yes. But overall marektshare is about Amazon 30%, Microsoft 20%, Google 10%.

Uh I guess the way Ubisoft is going to leverage the CLOUD rights to game is through Luna?

Good to see the little guy getting helped out by the CMA’s efforts.

I actually like Luna, it just doesnt have enough content. This would be cool.

Yeah Ubisoft dont have and will never have the capabilities to create its own cloud structure so this makes sense. I thought they would just limit themselves to selling the licenses to other cloud providers.

I was being sarcastic mostly; the concern was about competition and the first company Ubistarts working with is Amazon. (though this isnt for ABK stuff, yet)

They supported Stadia, GeForce Now and Amazon. I’m guessing they’ll allow their games to go wherever possible.

It’s my dad’s and mum in law’s birthday on the 13th too, so there’s no way I’ll be able to jump on all the various celebration podcasts.
