Microsoft is really buying everything, huh?
Also:

Microsoft PR: “Bobby Kotick will continue to serve as CEO of Activision Blizzard… Once the deal closes, the Activision Blizzard business will report to Phil Spencer, CEO, Microsoft Gaming.”

Not 100% clear yet whether Bobby will stay on after the ink dries.

Y'know, there's one thing I'm kinda curious about when it comes to this site and Smash, how were Brawl newcomers perceived and what ideas did people have for their moveset? Like, people say Kirby only got new characters because of bias but Meta Knight and Dedede were popular requests and people like to say K.Rool was a Brawl era request when people didn't really care for him as much as Diddy was seen as a priority

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, anyone else kinda concered about Microsoft buying every game company nowadays?

I mean, yeah they're allowed to he on other platforms that they are mod friemdly, but idk, it's kinda reminding me of Disney and their buyouts.

Also, they spent 70 for ****ing Activison, seriously? C'mon they got scammed, CoD and Crash ain't that good.

Yeah, I was actually thinking the exact same thing here, especially the comparison to Disney.

All I know about Brawl newcomers is that people loathed them when it first came out, only to praise it as the best newcomer roster after Smash 4.

Yeah, I don't think monopolization is a good thing in general.

It might do some short-term good but I'm a little iffy about buyouts being so common lately.

 

[CannonStreak]

WHAT THE ****??????

WHAT?

Don't you mean "Holy cungadero!"

But yeah, MIcrosoft is becoming the new Disney in terms of video games. At this rate, half of the wanted third party characters for Smash will be owned by Microsoft.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, I'm more curious if Phil Spencer taked Bobby out considering he has to do report to Phil.

Meanwhile, at Square Enix

Well… this came outta nowhere.

I didn’t think Microsoft would acquire anyone else after Bethesda.

Nintendo after Sony and Microsoft bought out ever ****ing company under the sun

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

So uh Nintendo and Sony buy more studios when? I know the latter but curious about the former.

Then again only studio I'd be with them buying is the likes of WayForward or Gemdrops (the Laid Back Camp games studio).

 

[GilTheGreat19]

MICROSOFT DID WHAT NOW

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Hey better Microsoft then ever Disney.

 

[Wademan94]

Hey better Microsoft then ever Disney.

We could’ve had Tracer as a Disney Princess then

 

[Metal Shop X]

Been working on a new video discussing Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach and why it released in the less than stellar state it did. So... here's the first minute of it! (Still got some stuff I need to tweak/add, namely music for certain parts)

@Solar Nyan @Noipoi Metal Shop X @Shroob


Twilight Wings is amazing and I still find it hilarious for no reason that this man voices in it.

Finally got the time to see this, and I can safely say that I need to see the full video when it's out.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Crash is a Microsoft rep now

 

[Wademan94]

Crash is a Microsoft rep now

This is how Crash gets into the next Smash Bros

 

[TheMightyP]

This is how Crash gets into the next Smash Bros

Yeah, in the year 3010.

 

[Aurane]

Dude Legends should totally have a 1st person option. That video was sick.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Yeah, in the year 3010.

Even implying we'll be around by then. At the rate things are going, I wouldn't even give us a 100 years.

 

[Wademan94]

Yeah, in the year 3010.

So within my lifetime then. Got it

 

[GilTheGreat19]

The acquisition deal was 70 Billion USD, wow!

 

[Wademan94]

I’m surprised they went for it considering the semi-recent controversy surrounding the company

 

[TheMightyP]

The acquisition deal was 70 Billion USD, wow!

I know, 70 Billion for mid . Scammed the hell out of them.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

I know, 70 Billion for mid . Scammed the hell out of them.

Dude their market cap is around $50B
THATS A LOT LOLLLL

 

[Hex D. Jess]

I just hope Microsoft does something about the horrible people in Actiblizz

Unfortunately...

Bobby Kotick will remain as Activision Blizzard CEO after Microsoft announcement | VGC

The Xbox company confirms that the controversial exec will keep his current role…

Also, every single trending hashtag on Twitter in my country is currently about this transaction.

It's impressive how CoD is the video game for a lot of people.

I mean yeah CoD is generally really good too so

 

[TheMightyP]

That said, Bobby has to report to Phil when the deal finalizes.


So he could very well be out when Acti-Bliz has been fully acquired.

Or not.

This should be for about one more year
The acquisition is apparently going to set in stone sometime in early-mid 2023.

So once that period comes, Bobby will be gone and Phil himself will replace him! : )

If you are scared they Re gonna try and buy Nintendo, Sony or Sega, I'm 100% sure that's never gonna work out for them

 

[osby]

Microsoft doesn't need to buy any of those to own a disturbing share of the market, though.

I don't think Nintendo I'd they "we gotta buy more studios" kinda company compared to the hog that is microsoft

And honestly they don't need to buy any companies

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Well that came completely out of nowhere. Why would they buy a company with such an awful reputation?

 

[TheMightyP]

If you are scared they Re gonna try and buy Nintendo, Sony or Sega, I'm 100% sure that's never gonna work out for them

If they bought Nintendo or Sony, that'd probably violate some anti-trust law and they would get broken up.

Either way that's absolutely not happening.

 

[SneakyLink]

They did try and buy Nintendo; it didn’t really go anywhere.

Sony is considered a competitor so that can’t work.

Sega can’t work due to being a Japan company. Though I do remember Sega wanting to have Dreamcast back comp in the original Xbox at one point.

Also fun fact, when Microsoft bought Rare they thought they also got Donkey Kong.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Micros goal here pff it's like a cat at a daycare that eats every single other cats bowls of food. They are gluten. I know, bad example
