f*** ... Can't fathom the pure horror Sony execs feel right now... It must be horrible, I feel bad for their families.
Absolutely, and this is one point that is glossed over too much. I'd love to see some graphic on this, but I think the average 'gamer' only plays 1 or 2 of the biggest titles out there, repeatedly.
Hmmm.
Yo, what if the make that ghost game they were gonna do a long time ago? Wasn’t it supposed to be an exclusive?
Wow d00d
I am curious why you take issue with my preference and most gamers preference to use the old business model?
I actually do hate Microsoft.
I am a gamer so I look past the parent company of the brand(Xbox)that I spend money on from them.
If you pay to play and can't play when you don't pay, it's a rental service
It's not s*** talking unless this truth bothers you? It shouldn't... you are better than this.
Stay away from Twitter if it bothers you as it's not worth it if it does this.
It is subjective
Fortnite is free and most gamers buy cod and mc.
A bad cod was still 2021's top what? SELLING game.
It's not my money!
MS has put together a pretty nice collection of game developers. They're throwing some money around, and why wouldn't they?
Took them long enough. They should have bought Bethesda over 20 years ago, along with a few other developers.
Funny to think back on them buying Rare. Is Mojang working out for them as far as what they paid?
Just curious.

I need you to use a modicum of reading comprehension here. I don’t take any issue to your preference. I don’t know you and care very little about you beyond your general well-being.Wow d00d

I’m merely pointing out the stupidly ignorant and hypocritical blanket statement you made about renting being bad. Ultimately though, it doesn’t change much for me if you continue to be both ignorant and hypocritical. It does however, validate quite a few assumptions regarding your history of posting content.
You are taking issue if you are saying my game renting statement is bad.
Not a single hypocritical statement about GP from me was said.
It's bad to me PERIOD. Respect my opinion and Get over it!
But had they bought them back then they probably wouldn’t have as many devs as they did when they did, no?
Activision Employees Say They’re Optimistic About Acquisition by Microsoft
Activision Blizzard Inc. employees have had a range of differing and sometimes conflicting emotional responses to news this week that their company will be purchased by Microsoft Corp. for $69 billion.

Activision Blizzard Inc. employees have had a range of differing and sometimes conflicting emotional responses to news this week that their company will be purchased by Microsoft Corp. for $69 billion.
There has been trepidation about potential layoffs; optimism about Microsoft's recent history of buying game companies and then leaving them alone; determination to fight for better wages and more worker protections.
But above all, more than a dozen employees across Activision Blizzard's divisions say they're relieved that something -- anything -- has actually happened that could fundamentally change the company's course. Many people had been worried that the status quo would remain intact, and that was unacceptable
Can't see lay offs happening except maybe some of the more toxic elements there. MS seems more likely to grow the studios than shrink them.Activision Employees Say They’re Optimistic About Acquisition by Microsoft

MS does hired alot of Indians.....in India.
MS like many tech & game companies outsource huge % of their work overseas.
The whole management picture is just optics to show how diverse they are.
Do you mean that native amerikans travel to India for work?
Jokes aside, I think alot of jobs given to foreigners can be given to local Americans that can lift many families to middle classes include miniorities.
I would say Mojang definitely worked out. Sales number grew massively, as did engagement numbers after MS bought them.
Minecraft still printing s*** loads of money every year so yeah it definitely worked out.
It’s like talking to a three-year-old.
You made a blanket statement “Renting is never better for me or you.” GP wasn’t even in your statement. It was hypocritical because you asserted your statement on others and then suggested later that you do in fact practice renting elsewhere.
Sure GP is present in context of the larger discussion, but it doesn’t change that you tried to assert your statement on others. Had you left the “or you” off, then I would have never commented on it because then you would have really just been ignorant and I think one can probably only reasonably expect so much from you.
I never did voice my opinion on this acquisition. I will now.
Val saying “respect my opinion” LOL! When has he ever respected someone’s opinion that doesn’t align with his.
