James Bond games that have been published by Activision are no longer available to buy from Steam or the Activision web store.
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.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
This could possibly mean that Acti has lost the licence (despite having it up to 2014); maybe they prematurely cut it due to poor releases. If this is the case then I'm thrilled, this will mean that Sony/MGM have to find a new developer which could mark the end of sub-par 007 games!
I hope they've lost the licence.
Moreover, I read this very article on CVG and their writers emailed Acti and are awaiting a formal response on the situation.
the movies are awesome but the games have always sucked
Golden Eye 64 was the only Bond game that enjoyed
Good. I hope Activision either lost the license or dropped it. Their 007 games are crap, and they sell like crap as a result. I want a good, proper 007 game for once. Fuck, just imagine a good 007 RPG. That sounds really weird at first, but just take a look at Alpha Protocol. That game was flawed, yes, but it had so much potential and it was a great game if you could see past its flaws.
