There's no way they can make even half their money back on this purchase. They got swept up by the COVID tech bump and thought that it would just keep on going up and up, but spoiler, it won't.
okay
>>722551485Yes, Activision shouldn't have been allowed to fuse with Blizzard.
>>722552619>Blacktivision
>>722551485Who gives a fuck. The snoynyggers got humbled, bigly.
We'll see after WoW gets ported to xbox and is added on the xbox pass
>>722551485Ok but imagine of they bought Activision 15 years ago...
>>722552619>alt universe Blizzard where their games were gritty and gothic instead of gay and pozzed.It's not fair.
>>722554550Anon, that shit wasn't caused by Activision...
Bungie was probably worse.
>>722551485Bungie was somehow a worse purchase.
>>722551485When AMD bought ATi, they condemned the entire gaming industry to be under Intel and Nvidia and we still haven't recovered. Probably never will.
>>722551485They fucked themselves over, kek.No one wants games from either company anymore.
It depends, wow became better under microsoft's leadership.But their other games were abandoned.
>>722555040at least they still got Candy Crush lmao
Sony shutting down Japan Studios and then buying Destiny devs for FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
>>722555454That is a very, very, very bad purchase; but it's only 4 billion, not 75 billion.
>>7225556374 billion for Sony is like 70 billion for Microsaars.
>>722555693You might find that Microsaar goes into free fall soon if they can't do something about the rumors that Sony have muscled them out of the console business.
>>722555637They make 280 billions within a year so that's nothing to them.
>>722555851If it's nothing then why are they desperately restructuring their game pass in an effort to make it turn a profit?
>>722551485EA bioware was worse.
>>722555932Just like sony, microsoft can be losing money from gaming and still be profitable.Nintendo is the only one who is entirely invested in gaming.
>>722556079They'll only tolerate it for so long though. While Microsoft is primarily an operating system business (and that will maintain them forever), I don't see why they would keep throwing good money after bad with their games division. It's obvious they've lost the console war, they have no fresh ideas and they can only rely on their old IP's for so long.
>>722556353They already axed some studios but I think they will keep wow and cod.
