Looking forward to reading the "Why Activision smells and Sony can have them" article by Jez Corden at the end of July.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
we already got - '' why m$ don't need Activision''
"Why Phil Spencer spending $3B+ to pretend he was interested in acquiring ABK was actually a genius move"
in the event the deal passes:
"Xbox just killed PlayStation and that is a good thing"

I managed to beat the game already xD. Such a good game, currently doing a second run on FF mode
You go after all the monsters on the board? I thought some of them were just plain hard to find. Where is the minotaur boss? I found a different boss in the area it says to look for minotaur?
Martha's rest area correct?
I also had a bit of trouble finding one of the monsters on the board and ended up killing a few that I happened upon before the one I needed.
Anyone think a boss-rush mode might be cool in this?
Even if the deals passes, Sony is not obligated to sign a deal with Microsoft afterwards. Sony’s contracts with Activision Blizzard last only until 2023. I would laugh if Sony refuse to sign a new deal with Activision Blizzard afterwards and letting Call of Duty to rott.
It’s not impossible after this disastrous E-Mail of Matt Booty leaked, with the clear intent to put Somy out of Business. If Sony would decide to do so, the franchise Call of Duty would die within few years. There are better IPs in the works, see for example XDefiant.

That's close to my take too. With Sony cutting COD out, the playerbase would be devestated and that is better than allowing people to slowly find out that Microsoft owns the franchise and it's free on Xbox and PC gamepass and they get exclusive stuff....
The best approach is to hit ABK / MSFT hard now, take the bit of pain and promote other games to people, maybe put a big shooter in PSPlus or generally for free to people.
For the hunts I just used a guide, since some monsters are only fightable when you complete certain side quests
This worries me… Sony let’s themselves easily fooled, they believe this nonsense.
This E-Mail (2019) from Matt Booty (putting Sony out of Business) was after all true.
2019 MS went on a buying spree and acquiring multiple Multi-platform studios.
2020 they tried to buy Square Enix and got rejected. In the same year they acquired Bethesda.
In 2022 Microsoft also announced Activision Blizzard deal. They also went after Sega!
Bloody hell what was Sony doing? They are sleeping. They didn’t realise that Microsoft wanted to murder them. That Sony execs are really slow pokes. It’s worrying…
That writer has an extremely biased way of presenting things. I also seriously doubt Playstation would take this lying down if it goes through, shit just doesn't happen super quickly.
With the full extent of Microsofts attempts to consume the entire industry laid bare, I wonder if more people on here will come to see things more from our perspective?
That Sony need to go big and make some major acquisitions... From, TakeTwo or Capcom along with Square. Some combination of those.
