That's disgusting I had no idea they did that the scumbags so they bought Nokia to rebrand it as windows phone & then when it was a complete failure they just brushed it under the metaphorical carpet
Guess I wasn't paying attention... They buy a very well know respected brand in mobile & decide to change it to 'windows phone' absolute morons
Ans they massacred them.
Anybody who is happy ms got acti/blizz/king should keep that in mind.
imo it will happen the same way with actiblizz but it will take longer because nokia was failing harder before ms bought them.
Nokia was failing harder because of Elop, MS plant. Blizzard and Ybarra are in the same state as Nokia was.
Yes, but blizzard is a minor portion of ABK as a whole. King is still doing well and Activision is still doing well. Ybarra managed to do major damage to the ABK stock price due to market overreaction to that scandal and MS swooped in while they were off-balance. But I expect that once Kotick is gone and Actiblizz is left to their own devices that the same slow degradation that has happened to minecraft also happens to the rest of the ABK structure.
Those people who think MS funds "passion projects" with their money all the time! Gotta love their enthusiasm.
Microsoft has Closed the Activision Blizzard King Deal
Don’t tease us. As a former sega die hard ( I had 4 Japanese Saturn’s at one point) 😂😂 Who migrated to Xbox for panzer dragoon, gun valkery and outrun, I hope they get a lot closer. I feel like sega was always meant to become the Japanese arm of Xbox, thus giving sega a console brand presence...www.neogaf.com
Same with Skype.
Same with Mixer.
Same with Hotmail.
Same with aQuantive.
There are a ton of examples like these -- Microsoft acquiring companies and pushing them into oblivion and obscurity.
