Wedbush's Michael Pachter gives new Call of Duty subscription service a thumbs-up, expects Activision to eventually introduce an auction house, EA to charge for Battlefield's Battlelog.
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.
patcher officaly paid by activision
I see the cheque cleared.
i wont be one of those sheep,baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa.
Bullshit hating aside - if you think about the amount of people who buy all of the CoD DLC packs for the year it's a ton. Tell these people you can get all the DLC's for a discount + other features then they'd be dumb not to pay it if they'll be buying the DLC anyway.
Yes yes we know "cod suxx" "fuk dis game" etc etc.
I think this is much better than EA's Online Pass or project $10! You know the one that makes you pay $10 for a code to play online if you bought the game used.
This is aimed squarely at the COD fans, those of us that enjoy playing the game online and will purchase the DLC anyway. Call me a sheep all you want, I like the series and am excited for the monthly DLC ELITE provides. I just pre-ordered the Hardened Edition from Amazon. Baaaaaaaaa! :)
Peace
