@soulmuncher666: Its not pathetic. Its just good business and that is how you grow a company and beat your competitor....if you don't understand that then you should not be making stupid blanket comments.
As a businessman myself I congratulate MS for this acquisition. What people don't realize that in any business...in order to grow you can't do it yourself unless you have the vision, investment, capex and are willing to take the enormous risk of losing it all.
By acquiring Activision/Blizzard, MS has minimised risk by not having to worry about the vision and core competencies of the company and can just leave it as is. All MS has to do is make sure the right management is in place and that the employees are leading fulfilling roles. It will lead to the Xbox not only having a much more diversified gaming ip portfolio but will also raise its valuation.
This is the businessman in me saying this (also cause I invested lol). The gamer in me is starting see monopolistic tendencies happening where great IPs are being controlled by one company which essentially means that you have to buy their hardware (then again i own all the consoles so don't really care much but for those who have to budget their gaming it can be a pain in the ass).
and of course they get rid of all the brown actors....seriously america is a pathetic country when it comes to representing diversity in film...and they call themselves woke....what a huge hypocracy.
Meh who cares…it’s just fanboy numbers…idiots who are too poor and/or lazy to get a job that can help buy all consoles…this crap is just pandering to idiots who are like yay I bought a console most people like.
