Microsoft buying Activision blizzard for 68.7 billion

[famicommander]

Well it sounds like they're going to continue making games for Playstation, Xbox, and PC so I'm not sure how that's different from Destiny and Destiny 2.

Microsoft buys Activision who will continue making games for Playstation, Sony buys Bungie who will continue making games for Xbox and Windows. So who really cares?

Just change boss at the top , game wise I think they still control their creative and maybe just have a deal to do a exclusive down the road . Everybody is a potential customers .

Sony buying Bungie for $3.6 billion

They overpaid. Bungie literally has 1 game.

too bad bungie can't touch Halo....

Bungie has 1 game with a shrinking playerbase. Sony is paying Minecraft money for a game with no mobile presence.

I think it's a wise purchase and money well spent in the long run. The end game is where it's at. Sony has to bring in some more studios.for when videogame armageddon takes place

My guess is they have a new IP in development and close to release.

I think ir they have them make games for psvr2 they could be an asset

Thats exactly what they need to do for their D2 playerbase - delay their minor, empty DLC's even more so by splitting their workforce to other flights of fancy.

Console Wars, Streaming Wars and now... Shopping Wars. This franchise really hit rock bottom.

I truly loved Destiny 1 but I jumped ship on Destiny 2 even before the first DLC came out. It just did nothing for me.

Yes agreed.

I would love to see something worth $3.6B coming from Bungie.

Did they make up the money they paid for Rare?

How much is cock blocking Nintendo worth?

 

[SignOfGoob]

…nothing, I’m pretty sure. It doesn’t pay dividends anyway. Besides, Nintendo seems to be doing just fine without them.

I suspect we'll see some Blizzard IPs become Xbox/PC Exclusives.

New York Times still made the biggest scoop purchase of the last month.
