So many thoughts

  • This sucks
  • Microsoft sucks.
  • What are they going to do with Activision?
  • What does this mean for Sony?

Guess that's one way to get bungie back? Or are they independent now?

But yeah this is legit turning MS into a monopoly and that is not ok

Only good thing is if they kept a all activist on games on all platforms. Way to alienate players if they keep them exclusive

Bungie stayed independent after Microsoft. Activision only published their game. Microsoft will probably own their IP again though.

To add, the deal will complete next year.

Guess if you can't beat the competition just buy everything else around them and then you win.

Though for me at least. I don't really play many activision games but I do here and there. But will still suck if they keep all those games to Xbox and PC

As it should. This leaves what Ubisoft and EA and Square Enix as the only other really big publishers besides the console makers.

Depends on how you measure it.
Those are in order of revenue, Bandai Namco is twice as big as Ubisoft. BN has more assets than Ubisoft.

Ah interesting. I don't really pay attention to BN and some of them. Most of their games don't interest me
