THPS, Hearthstone, Sekiro, Crash, Spyro, StarCraft….

Hell just think of what they could bring back if they wanted to…GUITAR HERO, DJ Hero, Pitfall, TENCHU.

Remember when Sony securing Spider-Man DLC for Avengers was a huge power move that was going to doom Microsoft?

in a perfect world …

i’m not that optimistic. And i think the fruits of this aquisition will take a bit longer to manifest than the smaller studios or Zenimax.

Kotick was always going to make out like a bandit no matter what happened…that’s garbage from Jason, ugh. He should know better…

It sucks that Bobby gets even more money. But what did they expect to happen? Bobby getting ridiculously richer was always the end state.

Looks like MSFT will have about 10% revenue of the games industry after closing this deal, not even close to a monopoly issue.

They’re mad that Xbox helped jettison him? Makes sense.

You need to go through the 7 stages of grief. Once you emerge then you will realize this move changed everything. Europe is now Xbox land.

I wouldn’t go that far, but certainly it will help immensely.

As CRAZY as this news is, Activison the last few years has solely just been COD, to the point where all of their developers abandoned anything creative to become the COD machine.

I personally don’t care for COD but hopefully this means Microsoft can right that ship from its abusive management and give the developers their creative freedom back!

Plus maybe now we can get a big Marvel game on Xbox, Beenox and Treyach have Spider-Man experience, maybe Disney can give them another superhero to make a game of.

:joy:

Activision plus Bethesda. Yeah PlayStation is now firmly behind Xbox. It’s just a matter of acceptance of how the landscape just changed. Some will need time to adapt.

I guess he talked to one person who said “man it sucks he gets paid to leave instead of facing consequences”, and Jason turned that into “FURY AT MICROSOFT”. :smile:

it will be both. I assume Sony will keep the FIFA partnerships with an Iron Grip, so you will have Sony=Fifa, Xbox=COD

Like I know MS is really powerful but they’re not powerful enough to change law and order lol

Like do they want MS to spank Kotic’s ass publicly or something

Xbox has a fucking stranglehold on the FPS and RPG market. Still hasn’t processed!
