I don’t get it. 25 million gamepass subscribers, that $2800 spend on this deal per subscriber. I don't know about everyone else but I'm worth it.

It's a sad indictment of Activision that I'd be more concerned about EA and Ubisoft being bought out than them.
See that way up there in the distance above your head Activision? That was the bottom of the barrel.
EA getting bought out means that classic Burnout games, the Dead Space franchise and a plethora of other interesting games probably could be permanently locked off into a gamepass or something.
With Ubisoft there's even less to love, I'm still interested in the rumoured Sands of Time remake though.

True, but you also miss out on a lot of games - plenty of AAA tripe, to be sure, and a few gems to boot.

I mean I've not bought an Activision/Blizzard game in forever but fuck me that's big news. What big(ish) publishers are left standing now? Squenix, Sega, Capcom, Ubisoft Slim pickings. And you know Ubi is next. I'm sure $7b is for the studios and $63b is Kotick's retirement fund.

Mr Sony can have his Call of Duty if they put Game Pass on PS?

Like many others, the actual games Activision have don't interest, it just makes me a little nervous about the state of games in the future. With Microsoft mopping up I can see Sony struggling. They both seem to be after the same piece of the pie.
Nintendo will carry on doing their thing which is reassuring but it would be nice if Sony and Microsoft would stop with the willy waving.
Perfect timing for a Sega Dreamcast 2, IMO.

I find it more mad that despite them spending silly money in pretty much the biggest games acquisition ever; it literally won't affect me despite it being on the opposite system to the one I own. I play none of their shite.

I play none of their shite. I have both, but yeah. I bought Tony Hawk last week, but apart from that, I've bought Overwatch when it launched, and then nothing since Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. The only CoD I played, WWII, I got because Best Buy gave it away with PS4 Pros. It wasn't even an in-box bundle.

You come back from work and find some weird news on the internet.
Anyway, haven't bought an Acti game in a while, so I don't really care myself. But that's a lot of money to burn. And it makes me wonder how moch it would cost for someone to acquire other big publishers. What about EA? That FUT business must be worth a ton. And Ubisoft? Would they reach 20 billions? In a world where someone acquired the living corpse of Zynga for 12 billions, it's well possible.

This is just a complete admission by MS that they can’t compete with Sony and Nintendo at game making. Completely cynical. Classic 90s “buy em out boys” M$

I wonder what Bungee will do now, they got away from Microsoft once already but now they'll have the IP they created back with Microsoft.
I never thought it made much sense for Sony to produce both Killzone and Resistance games for the PS3 but they did. It probably takes a videogame exec big brain to figure out the utility of having both Halo and Destiny, they could just as easily make a Halo games as service spin-off as continue to sink money into Destiny.

Sir This is the dumb ass company that bought Obsidian, commissioned them to make an Elders Scrolls clone then a few months later went "lol jk we're buying Elder Scrolls too" They will absolutely have both IPs

Wait, who owns Respawn? If we’re talking fps all I want is Titanfall 3.
