Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.

[The Mad Titan]

Microsoft couldn't buy Sony.
A) would require shareholders to sign off. Tied that with Nintendo and got laughed out of the room
B) would require government approval. Not happening.
C) they just spent over half the cash on their balance sheet for Activision.

*Has the purchasing power.

Sony is actually in shambles themselves





Sony releases statement on Activision-Blizzard-King acquisition


The funny thing about this is, this goes to show you how far in advance Sony locks up exclusivity with these companies.

People like to act like MS out here just buying up stuff and taking it away when sony behind the scenes years in advance has things locked out.

No. It just shows u that there’s contractual agreements that they expect Microsoft to still abide by. Y’all gotta stop this bullshyt like Microsoft was being bullied or some dumb shyt. They’ve had timed exclusives and extra content on their shyt since jump. Do any of y’all nikkas remember the 360 era? Where 3rd party developers were literally butchering the Playstation version of the games or sometimes not even releasing a PlayStation version? Y’all full of shyt.

*thinks of all the key binds and addons I used back in the day*

Yea, WoW on console still sounds awful.

The bloat can be trimmed to FFXIV levels.

Or they can finally do a WoW2 that's console ready. I'll take either one

They made sure to put that “and continued games will be released” part in there


I don’t know about that one Sony

That’s not what it said. It says they hope they continue to abide by the current contracts.

So 15 years ago MS was heavy with the time exclusives and exclusive games a practice that Sony actively still uses but everyone apparently hates? But also champions


Agreements that are in places years ahead of a games release, Sony making these agreements and Sony stans cheering about exclusive content and games now feel some kinda way that MS out right cut that off at the head

Man that statement sounds weak asf

 

[Don Mack]

I don’t play any games from Activision including Call Of Duty so it doesn’t mean anything to me but for the average gamer this is a big deal.

Sony could buy Bandai Namco or Capcom or maybe even Electronic Arts to retaliaye

That’s why this whole shyt is funny.

Sony stans crying about a monopoly or whatever.

This is a reaction from Microsoft.

Sony been throwing their money and influence around since PSX.

Attrition has literally been their business model. Starve everyone else and force users to buy a PlayStation.

Now after 20 years Microsoft is finally all in on gaming and dudes wann cry about it

Sony set the standard, Microsoft just fighting fire with fire.

What publishers has Sony bought since PSX?

Tried to tell the sony stans that.


You don't consistently poke a bear just because it hasn't swung on you yet

Don’t matter.

This is a deflection ass argument.

How much money has Sony spent literally to remove content from other platforms over the years? Lots.

As I said, that’s been their business model since day one.

Microsoft just got more money to throw at it. Gaming was just a side project for them until now. They are going all in.
