Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[Fenton]

I went back to read pages before 816..

People were talking about waiting to play call of duty all for free. Lmao. They didn't give a shit about the people who were supposedly suffering working at Activision Blizzard or ousting Bobby Kotick.

Full fucking masks off.

@thicc_girls_are_teh_best Yup that fucker requested a self ban. Able to talk shit to Sony fans but can't bear to get shit flung back by us.

Another pussy EZmode said that he'll sign out of the forum if the deal gets blocked. All weak ass shit clowns.

They don't give a shit about playing games. They have jobs and can buy the games they want, doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. The real reason is they wanted to see the PS brand weakened. COD marketing goes to Xbox. Multiplatform games in development will get cancelled and become Xbox exclusives. Future big games will skip PS.

Benji is fine, he's pretty level, guys, he panders to everyone. There's no need to hate him.

 

[Bryank75]

Ezmode said that, but never he must fight for his megacorp also the 186 hall of fame

Ahhhh reading those posts is like pure ecstasy!

Jezz crying about how this ABK deal stopped a bunch of moves by MS makes it all even better.

Stupid SE sold their western divisions at a time MS wasn't willing to buy them (and likely Sony as well), that explains the ridiculous low value.

Agreed.

Why?
Vigilante Joker, vixolus, Gay Bowser, Trup1aya and Agent Icebeezy are literally the five best members on Resetera.

 

[Impulse]

To be entirely fair, that was basically everyone's take at that point.

There's a lot of info asymmetry when it comes to things like this, especially with the redactions etc.

 

[Swift_Star]

Oh, Benji, you were so far off lmao

 

[FatKaz]

Yeah i saw quite a few people claim this very prematurley right after the console SLC was removed.

Even chris dring who is normally level headed.



And tom warren of course the MS lapdog



The post mortem is fun.

These fanboys are hurt

 

[Cool hand luke]

Sony is clearly going to have to sign a deal with Microsoft over Call of Duty n--*sobbing begins*

In other great news even Reeee's rats are coming around to the reality. No new acquisitions of any consequence for Microsoft in the gaming space:




Gaming is saved!!

And, hilariously, it means Sony can still make publisher acquisitions because they don't have a foothold in cloud gaming.

This why news organizations should invite the CMA to an interview instead of (1)a host that is out of his depth and does not have a fucking clue what the topic is about and (2,)to get some actual facts and not the usual dribble scare mongering that the guest is doing.

Frustrated clown Jizz Corden threatening Sony

Why Sony could live to regret getting the Xbox Activision Blizzard deal blocked

Some regulators seem convinced Sony is in peril.

One thing about this whole acquisition process that I noticed is it really emboldened some of the most ridiculous influencers, "journalists", and fanboys. Some are undoubtedly paid to astroturf, some are just dumb, and some are both (like Jez here), but as the Ls keep piling up for MS - I hope we start to hear less and less from these fools.

Vixolus is one of the most level headed Xbox fans over there. Anyone who has a dog as their AV has to be a good person. (I'm a dog fanboy )

The shit ones are Bobloblaw, T0kenAussie, TigerFish , Redrum, EZmode and Sullivan.

Makes me wonder why Windows Central hasn't fired Jez. Gotta hire someone more professional instead of this baby.

Never heard of that channel or the absolute scrotum looking guy that keeps licking microsofts balls live on the program...

'Microsoft have been in the UK for 40 years'.... What the fuck does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Do they get a license to kill for being in the UK for so long? I mean, they have NO arguments that make any sense against the CMA. That is the long and short of it. They are just complaining aimlessly.

Listen to him gasp loudly in between sentences. He sounds so scared about the future of his favourite plastic box/megacorp.

It almost sounds like a grown man crying.



Mummy!!! *sobs* Sony is... *sobs* trying to take ALL MY TOYS *sobs* AWAY FROM MEEE!! *sobs* WHAAAAAAAAAA

People have started paying attention to why the deal was blocked (eg. those contracts where they kept all the in-game transaction fees) and Brad Smith made an ass of himself, and by extension, MS to the entire world. Time for some damage control - let's get back to blaming Sony for everything. It may not convince everyone, but the hardcore XBox fanboys will eat it up. That's how I see it. MS has been using Sony as a scapegoat for the entirety of this acquisition process, why change it up now?

Cope!
