Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
I agree that people are being extremely over dramatic and emotional about the showcase. It's a combination of people overhyping it in their minds, as well as opportunistic fanboys of other platforms feeding into a narrative. The show was underwhelming, but not the death of Playstation that some were saying it was. People just aren't listening to logic atm.

Haha, sure Jan. Been working well for you until now. Each new court date gets them into more shit.
That means shit. The deal required us, uk and europe approval. Without any of those, there's no deal.
ABK is preparing to pull the plug on the deal.

It’s dead and they know it.
Also, they’re preparing to keep Kotick on the job.
Let the meltdown begin.

I think that CMA will be more prepared next time. What else they've could done with provided documents for just 1 day? Anyway, scummy tactic by MS. Seeing in the movies.
This fluff piece timing is pretty telling, don’t you all think?ABK is preparing to pull the plug on the deal.

Absolutely. It's damning for Microsoft's chances. He's there to instill confidence in a company that to some will soon be deemed unacquirable. Same reason we have Comcast being floated as a potential suitor - to calm the shareholders.
Honestly the best case would be if Comast would buy Activision Blizzard. Sony would stop worrying about it. But I doubt that thou. ActiBlizz has more than half the value of Comcast. Comcast is $169B and ABK about $68B…
Maybe a merger would be possible.

Why does ABK needs to be bought by anyone?
Comcast is an Internet provider and probably the biggest around North America. If they do, every gamer would win. No fear of losing some critical franchise. But as I pointed out, I doubt it. Comcast can’t afford something big like ABK. Maybe a merger but that’s it.
I think comcast wants to merge with either EA or Activision
Anyone but Microsoft. Let the Saudis buy them and execute journalists who give bad scores. Whatever. Just don't let Microsoft's grubby hands get ahold of any more gaming franchises.
