Forums - Microsoft - Activision buys Xbox division of Microsoft

the2real4mafol on 01 April 2013

Today, CEO of Activision Bobby Kotick has announced he has bought out Xbox from Microsoft for $200 billion. The billionaire tycoon announced the new Xbox will be coming in Fall 2014 for a "reasonable" $899 and Call of Duty Infinite is the only launch title. Infact, all other games have been cancelled. "we are proud to announce that the new Xbox is THE gaming system for call of duty". Xbox live will now cost $100 a year and COD's (the only games that work on the system) will retail for $150 each. It was also confirmed there will now be 12 DLC's per year, at $25 a pop. At the same time, 50,000 people are expected to be laid off as Rare and Microsoft Game Studios are forced to shut under Kotick's orders. More to follow...

This isn't even slightly believable or funny.

God! why does this have to be a April fools prank?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

What a stupid fucking day.

When did April Fools stop being about pranks and start being about dumb lies?

@ badgenome

Sadly it's not even about playing pranks on the internet. People used to at least try to announce things that were believable and/or announce things a few days in advance and then reveal on April 1st it was a prank. Now, we just get stories you know are fake just by reading the first sentence or two. This day does truly suck.
