Again they can purchase other companies they just bought another company recently just because it wasn't a gaming company no one talked about it. There's nothing stopping them from making a bid for WB studios and licensing if they plan of selling off individual studios. You're an idiot for thinking like a console warrior grow up this is an open market they can't stop making moves what if activision doesn't go through so they lose out on a potential deal with WB as well are you an idiot.
If NRS is up to sale, MS will 100% grab it. Other studios are not that important, but Microsoft will go after NRS whatever it takes.They will they have said many time that they are always on the look out for more studios
WB Games is huge and they have some great Studios and plus they were intrested in WB before they bought Activision
Report: Microsoft interested in buying Warner Bros. games division
Microsoft is reportedly interested in buying WB Games, but it probably won't spend $4 billion.www.tweaktown.com
I'm not telling you about the price, but that the ransom will literally be officially announced as soon as they close the deal.So? Any deal above 100m is gonna be checked. In case of WB - without IPs especially (NRS will go with MK though) - it is just a bunch of studios. Embracer bought 40-60 last year or something
We would finally get the dream fighting game of Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct
That's true, but with them where they are in the process with the AB acquisition the smart money would be on them not to announce any plans to do more acquisitions in the same space until they get FTC approval. It's a pretty easy argument against them if they have multiple acquisition targets in play with a deal the size of the one they're currently nursing.They will they have said many time that they are always on the look out for more studios

Yeah. And MS will avoid a situation where Sony again moneyhats bunch of fighting games (we still don't have Guilty Gear on the platform).
FTC won't do shit man FTC has no ground to block anything MS gaming division has no monopoly Tencent is still bigger in gaming
Might as well close down the forum then if it only make sense to discuss things we can affect.Never understood the point of people fighting about acquisitions online. No one here knows shit about how any company will move or who they are in current negotiations with and for what reason.
Whoever buys them is gonna buy them whether you win this argument about logistics or what said company "needs" .
In the case of NVidia it was extra brutal, since their direct competitors own CPU divisions.
With ARM they would though
I don't really care about Moneyhat they all do it it fine & plus i buy Playstation too so i have no real shill for no one
With ARM they would though
While I can afford both, I don't like Sony's ecosystem so each exclusive game is a pain.
They would be a monopoly with ARM. They would literally own most of the market. ARM is that big. It was nowhere near AMD + Xilinx situation.
Pointless buyout then tbh. Your just buying studios..... Some of them alright.... Others abut Meh.
HAHA no and not the same situation lol FTC are a bunch of clowns
You don't even need to be an insider to guess it. WB/Discovery is probably looking at Disney and what they are doing in the gaming space, if they were to copy Disney they would try to license their IPs instead of having their own devs.
We also have other articles, like the law guy, saying that Schreier's article is bullshit.
Yes, we're all anecdotally aware of what we believe the facts are. But part of what the FTC does is gauge impact and if Microsoft has multiple acquisitions in play in the same sector of commerce it could give the appearance that they're saying one thing and doing another. If the FTC couldn't "do shit" we wouldn't have already seen Microsoft making very public announcements about how they intend to operate as a company post-acquisition. They can do shit, and Microsoft could also do shit to sabotage it.
To each his own and do you have a gaming PC cause most if not all Sony game will come to PC eventually
They done a stupid Matrix sequel so they could make a game about it... I dunno maybe you are right, they realized not all is easy how they thought.
Unless we stop giving attention to people on twitter they will not stop it. They only have "power" because people choose to gave them attention.
MS is not stupid to announce multiple acquisition at once even though i think it would still go through if FTC did not block Disney of buying up 21st century Fox
That's the problem. Eventually.
Well yeah all eco system has their thing if you want to play Playstation games day 1 you will need a PS5
And what about seamless save transfer then?
Sony, MS need to keep buying cause if not them then it ill be Tencent, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Embracer etc
What makes Tencent, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Embracer worst than MS or Sony for the players?
LOL if you have to ask this question then you are lost
It was an honest question, can't you explain?
For me its simple. If Microsoft or Sony by a publisher, the games will still be sold as traditional games, at retail (for this gen anyway), and digital, plus having the games on sub plans, etc. If the likes of Google or Amazon by a publisher, those games may end up soley on their streaming platforms, something most people dont seem to want (streaming).
