You are absolutely being "That guy". Your implication that anybody who disagrees with you is "paid off" is, frankly, pathetic and insulting. It's even more pathetic when you realize that my post isn't "pro MS" at all. It simply described the purpose of the acquisition and clarifies that using consoles sold as a metric for success is pointless because that's not the goal, as is evident by the fact that Call of Duty remains multiplatform.
Literally everything you have posted here has been addressed in the very post you're quoting.
This is unrelated to the acquisition. The acquisition isn't intended to move hardware on the short term (This generation). Something that is blatantly obvious. What is really going to change with this acquisition in the short term, say, current gen? Nothing. Blizzard games are mostly multiplats. Call of Duty will remain multiplat. Nothing is changing in the short term for consumers, So why would anyone expect a short term market shift? It makes no sense at all.
Addressed this in the very post you're quoting. Yes, streaming games is very small right now. But Microsoft clearly expects that it is going to grow substantially. Whether you personally like that or not, is irrelevant to the discussion: The POINT is that MICROSOFT thinks that's where gaming is headed, and they are making business and acquisition decisions accordingly.
That doesn't even make any sense.
