World bank cashing in on an opportunity to highlight his organisations work!

Yes pun intended.

Great, this is high on expectations list, hopefully it will be great

@skritch:

it will be like Netflix, build a dominant market position and increase the monthly fee each year. They are not investing this to not make less money.

Content quality will drop over time without a sales model somewhere in this

@ghostspartan:

Yeah it’s certainly interesting. I would have bought Square, Konami and take two before Activision Blizzard. I also wonder how big a pull king is in all this. I’m guessing their monthly revenues add quite a bit. The user base must be enormous.

@stotty_4:

Is WoW still relevant though? I’ve no clue tbh.

I think this is just as disruptive for steam and Epic games stores though.

I expected MS to push their own store and gamepass with this.

Wow, how out of touch is he?

I mean both are big, but twitch and you tube dwarf them now

I honestly don’t get the deal. It seems a lot of money for a company with little new in the way of IP.

I’ve not played CoD since Cold War, but I’m guessing a lot of the revenue is coming from CoD .

@videogameninja:

Hmmm it’s an interesting one, and I thought the same, but then probably Satya will want some quick returns on investment.

If this doesn’t sell Xboxes or game passes then it’sa lot of money to throw away.

This isn’t a reason for me to buy an Xbox for example. Haven’t played CoD since Cold War

@pmanden: for sure not, this is just the announcement

Candy crush I think you meant 😂
