“On the other hand, King, known for Candy Crush Saga, seems to be doing just fine, with an increase in monthly active users from 233 million last December 2022 to 243 million earlier this March.”
The mobile division is what Microsoft is really after. CoD is just icing on the cake.
Maybe but they did ask if they were really to sell off CoD to a 3rd party and they said no. CoD is what they are really after and king is icing on the cake and rest are drip drops.
If that was true why did Microsoft said no to possible option of splitting up activision They are after COD because it’s a multi billion dollar game on yearly basis
Press X for doubt. Microsoft sells Office, Windows, and Azure in the UK. Profits from those business services are paying for this acquisition. CoD on cloud gaming is not the hill that Microsoft would die on.
Xbox is such a small part of Xbox my guy, you're talking about a 2 trillion dollar company here. Maybe if it was Sony who relies on their gaming division to make ends meet, not Microsoft. It's a drop in the Ocean pal.
They are not leaving the UK which probably makes them more money than the Xbox brand does worldwide.
Thats one of the stupid things i ever read, you are so delusional arn't you? Dont read to much in the echochamber of twitter xboxfanboys, they talking nonsence.
Just remember, no matter how bad your day is going, Kotick is having a worse one. What I'd give to see the look on his face when he found out about the CMA blocking the deal, it's like a ray of sunshine in my cold black heart.
Yeah, that might be the case because I can´t see MS allowing it´s new first party games on Playstation ever again once all is said and done with that ABK´s acquisition novel.
As if it wasn't falling apart before they thouched it? Hence why they approached Microsoft to sell in the first place, Bobby caught the ship of fire and is bailing out.
I've been hoping that's the case for COD for the past decade and that viable competitors would appear but once Sony got certain rights to the COD franchise they decided to not make competing, big budget FPS.
Other gamers keep buying yearly instalments of generic COD titles so the blame is partly on gamers for not buying and playing competitor's titles in the past.
I'd love to see something overtake COD, I'm not a fan of the franchise and only buy it every few years or more. I really wish Titanfall 2 had survived it's initially release, we could really use a Titanfall 3 and we'll likely never get it now.

Those monthly figures will drop even further if MS manages to take over and remove many games from PS5 platform.
MS touched it and now the whole business is crumbling LOL
