That’s is very positive news for Xbox imo, whatever deal they have have been till 2025. I fully expect it to be Xbox/PC exclusive after that.

Even making a $70bn acquisition of the largest 3rd party publisher in the world, investors still don't care about Xbox

Jk Jk.

Good news for Phil, this means he can spend another 70 billion then/s

what's even crazier to me is that the blizzard acquisition is MS' biggest acquisition in company history, not just gaming. They really are all in.

I mean... you say no sarcasm, but I can always go for more.  

Dream picks would be: SEGA, Crystal Dynamic with Tomb Raider, WB collection of studios plus IPs, and for fuck it whatever if Phil is bored one day, Take 2.

I still think that they will continue to get Individual Private studios after this deal gets done, but nothing on this level or Zenimax's ever again.

WB is still possible because they would only be buying the Individual studios and not the Publishing arm or IP outside of Mortal Kombat, we shouldn't be talking about this either way After all this Acquisition Season talk MS ended up going overboard above everyone else so we should satisfied with what they have now.

Sounds about right.

But why the fuck are they even doing a Warzone 2? What a waste of resources, isn't the point of these games that you can update them for a very long time, Warzone only released in 2020!

Maybe a next generation exclusive sequel. 

Bigger maps, more players. Idk. 2023 seems to be about the right time to launch something like that. 



Yeah, a new Warzone makes sense built from the ground up for new generation hardware. Like in Destiny 1 the old hardware and engine restricted so they had to make a Destiny 2.

SEGA and CD would be good gets for them. But I think Square would be stupid to part with the TR IP. 

If Square do decide to sell off Crystal Dynamic and possibly Eidos Montreal then I don't see why they would even try to keep the Western IP, they would also get more money out of the deal if the IP goes with.

I doubt SE will sell CD by itself.

Didnt the Just Cause Team or someone from CD's side help them with FFXV (and Forspoken I think).

It'll be one whole package with SE.

Maybe I'm the odd one here but I hope if ever someone buy SE, I get a new E.V.O.. I sunk so many hours in this game.
