Who cares if nobody talks about it, obviously it’s bringing in plenty of money and at the end of the day that’s all Microsoft cares about

“That game” with over 15 million players and regular content updates

Rare has been doing Sea of Thieves, which I’m pretty sure has brought in more money and players than any Banjo content ever could

I thought that was the direction they were going when they acquired Obsidian Entertainment, but I guess that was just an appetizer. They screwed around with AB and now they’re missing chances like picking up the international studios Square sold off, one of which is actually developing a game in conjunction with Xbox.

I don’t know where it stands today, but King (Candy Crush) was running one of the most lucrative mobile game operations in the world at one point. I’m no businessman, but I think Microsoft should’ve taken a page out of Embracer’s book and started scooping up smaller devs and publishers to really flesh out their offerings without pissing off regulators.

Microsoft’s already got Minecraft - one of the best selling games of all time

Yeah the market is diverse, but look at how big AB is. That’s a lot being consolidated under one banner. You can’t say anybody else is doing their numbers.

You mean a single mega-publisher?

It’s just gonna be a bunch of lawyers trying to explain to old people what Call of Duty is

Microsoft isn’t gonna let this deal collapse, so I imagine this court case is about to be dragged out for a very long time

I’ll just delete it

Can you blame them? Even as a third-party franchise CoD brings in more money for Sony than pretty much all of their first-party titles

The FTC under President Biden is against consolidation in the tech industry. Activision-Blizzard is a giant in the gaming space, and the FTC, from my perspective, seems concerned that Microsoft owning them will damage the market significantly.

Yeah Idk how much of a population it would have after KH1 restored the worlds.

Here’s a thread from the FTC on the suit:

Guess the FTC didn’t like those 10 year concession contracts

Why tf does everyone have dms they’re crying in

Only time I can nearly bring myself to tears is if I trap myself in a mental fantasy where I die. Haven’t had an actual cry in a very long time.

Y’all have the emotional capacity to cry?

I’m really hoping we get to see the real Scala in KH4 via Mickey and that it’s still populated. It’s too beautiful a place to not have a vibrant society inhabiting it.

Not exist

I feel Saïx is more of a gatekeeper
