Interesting. Browse to google maps: https://www.google.com/maps

Search for "Boosteroid Games". I get only one result:

Not saying that is definitive proof of anything, but still.......I get your point.

It's where their business was founded and continues to be headquartered from a legal perspective. To now state they are a Ukrainian business is factually incorrect. They have operations there but they are not a Ukrainian business.

Their founder and CEO lives in the UAE and has done since at least 2019:

But like I said before, anything at adhere to "current thing" twitter hashtags.

What's next? Will this acquisition end wars, end hunger and poverty worldwide? Cure all illnesses? Microsoft are saving the world with this deal.

That's the idea, yes. Free oreos with every gamepass subscription.

Polygon with another shit tier take.

English media dying to see this deal go through.

Really? Who is on your list to serve up crow to? Hopefully you've bookmarked those posts where people have predicted the acquisition will fail.

Don't worry, the list won't be hard to put together.

 

[3liteDragon]

There is going to be a whole lot of crow eating and cope once this deal goes through. I'm already getting my gifs ready.

What will you do if it doesn't go through?

You want to do a tier list as well?

Hold Phil? More like hug your Teddy bear while crying in bed after your perma ban from your meltdown.

I'm telling you, the guys running these businesses are smarter than people think. Got an "office" in Ukraine? It's free money now and their government will gladly assist.

It also helps that this is mutually beneficial for Microsoft from a PR perspective.

They are balls deep in the geopolitical ether. No wonder their PR playbook is identical to that of our politicians.

I absolutely love how the gaming media have reported on that Boosteroid deal without even doing the slightest bit of investigative journalism.

We don't have journalists working in the games industry, all we have are a bunch of obedient lapdogs.

It doesn't, but Microsoft said "Ukraine" so it must be good, it must be clean and it must be important.

You'd probably be shocked at how little the world outside of this forum, really cares.

What will you do if it doesn't go through?

He will let Phil use his mouth as a toilet for 10 years according to the Agreement.

Good to know MS are standing in solidarity with the Romanian Ukrainians.

Fuck's sake....

It seems that most, if not, all of Boosteroid technical staff is from Ukraine, its domiciliated in Romania.

Haha, you're batshit fanboyism is seen by all so we can all see you're crazy too.

Things are getting pretty serious here.

Jesus Christ.

"Regulators! Look how amazing we are! We signed a 10-year deal (again) with a cloud company no one has ever heard of!

Very well may be the case, but changing your location on twitter so Microsoft can brag about a "victory for Ukraine" is shady bullshit. Beyond that, Microsoft trying to capitalize on a war for their own petty purposes is just absurd.

I'm expecting them to change the address in their terms and conditions to a Ukrainian one once someone picks up on this.
