It is for the gaming division, though.Because for MS that isn't a ton of money.
I think I heard somewhere (giant bomb?) that it was basically half of what MS got in hand...? Seems like a pretty huge deal if so.Because for MS that isn't a ton of money.
Agree, it was roughly half their cash. You have to think that a big part of this was the stock value of Activision being relatively low due to recent internal issues, plus increasing inflation. With inflation the way it is every day that cash sits there with minimal return it is essentially less valuable than it was the day before.I think I heard somewhere (giant bomb?) that it was basically half of what MS got in hand...?

yep. people think 'Oh! they a $2 trillion company,' but they don't have $2 trillion to spend.Agree, it was roughly half their cash.

So when do we think Activision games will hit GP? Can't recall if Bethesda titles hit before or after finalisation.
I wouldn't mind trying out the Tony Hawk Remaster, Diablo 2 Remaster, and Sekiro.
Sekiro isn’t an Activision owned gameSo when do we think Activision games will hit GP? Can't recall if Bethesda titles hit before or after finalisation.

No, but is published by them, and is pretty old now to boot.Sekiro isn’t an Activision owned game
First, some commentators have asked whether we will continue to make popular content like Activision’s Call of Duty available on competing platforms like Sony’s PlayStation. The obvious concern is that Microsoft could make this title available exclusively on the Xbox console, undermining opportunities for Sony PlayStation users.
To be clear, Microsoft will continue to make Call of Duty and other popular Activision Blizzard titles available on PlayStation through the term of any existing agreement with Activision. And we have committed to Sony that we will also make them available on PlayStation beyond the existing agreement and into the future so that Sony fans can continue to enjoy the games they love. We are also interested in taking similar steps to support Nintendo’s successful platform. We believe this is the right thing for the industry, for gamers and for our business.
I’m pretty sure Xbox had ps5 dev kits early on, as did Sony San Diego.This will also give MS and in turn Sony better understanding of what each other is doing console wise in the future as the devs will need dev kits
