I really hope Activision fades away and the teams are freed up to do whatever they want.

Also, would be awesome if Blizzard becomes independent from any of the former Activision management teams. So that the World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft and Overwatch all get their own dedicated teams with Phil and others overseeing. That would be amazing

Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion

Too everyone questioning the price of $70 Billion. Do you understand how much some of AB games make per year?

Candy Crush generates over a billion
Call of Duty multiple billions
World of Warcraft has in the past generated insane numbers.

Within 5 years Microsoft will easily make back what they spent. Just look at what they did with Minecraft. Took super superstar statues to juggernaut super star statues.

Re: Talking Point: Will Call Of Duty Become An Xbox Exclusive In The Future?

Ashadelo

Of course they will be exclusive to gamepass and xbox. You don't drop 70 billion to keep things the way they are. Some of you people are not looking at things long term.

The idea is to promote gamepass, and only gamepass. It will be just like it was with TES 5 and Minecraft. Whatever platforms they were already on will remain the same. But future games will be exclusive.

Between, xbox + gamepass (xbox, pc, mobile) M$ does not need the tiny ponds of Nintendo nor Sony.

Re: Ten More Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Thursday

I live in China and never imagined I would get gamepass. But I was looking at how to play Diablo 2 online and decided to pick up a year of gamepass for D2 Online, Halo and Forza. But it ended up turning into the biggest gaming blessing I have ever had. Going forward I am only playing gamepass games and only buying digital games that I need to buy.

BTW, I own a Japanese series S, but all my games as well as account are American (its the way I get passed all the censorship here).

Anyways, great stuff. Too many games to play and not enough time.
