GGG debates whether Activision has bitten off more than they can chew with Destiny's $500 million budget.
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.
I sure hope it meets its expectations. Sometimes the gaming crowd can be pretty picky. I am hoping for the best. I think most of us are rooting for it. That sure is a high cost though...
I hope it does for Bungie.
I think I will pick it up cheap down the line I have so many games going , would like a pc version tbh so I may wait a year or six months before picking this up.
So I read somewhere Destiny was going to be supported for years down the road, and it's on a galactic scale, so plenty of new worlds and extras thrown into many DLC drops will help boost earnings. I'm hoping to get into the PS4 beta.
Do activision have any other choice? I mean, besides COD, which is slowly declining in terms of sales, what other IPs do they have? They need to lay all their eggs in the Destiny basket and hope this turns out to be the next COD for them because once COD craze dies, then the company might be in serious trouble. For all the hate that EA gets, at least they have multiple franchises to fall under from Battlefield, Titanfall, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Star Wars, and etc.
