Activision has filed its quarterly report for the company in which the editor promises big profits for the coming months. The report detailed numerous points and has drawn attention one where the CEO Bobby Kotick predicts a price reduction on new generation consoles PS4 and XboxOne.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
It true that Economies of scale equates to lower price production, there still is no guarantee that prices will drop anytime soon. If that were the case MW2 would have been cheaper at launch than COD 4 due to increase demand.
I cant see it myself.... not based off oreorder demand-sometimes I see this guys exoectation for the undustry every year or so we get one such article and ibjust think "how the hell were you ceo.... being so out ofbtouch with it all as he clearly is." God, I remember when he thought thw ubdustry would be selling us the game the at an extra cost the cutscenes.....
they're being too optimistic.
Even for the $500 xbox one, that's way too early.
Prices dont drop until year 2 and even then they usually are not real price drops but just new SKU's where they probably alter the contents to give you that price drop. Most times they are taking some of the original stuff away which is why I like to get the launch versions since they are usually the best versions within the first 4 years. The only pre-mature drop I see is a Kinectless SKU for 349.99 the earliest holiday 2014. Any sooner would be how bad MS is looking market share to the ps4.
Riiight Activision. Go make next years CoD. :)
