The Crash Racing game was just boring and there was no good Spyro after A Heroes Tale. Also: Skylanders was just a really bad way to milk parents for their money. The game itself was sweet (i did the plat in all of them) but its not really worth a tear :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Neef-GT5 Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 For those who have trouble getting a picture of what such numbers actually represent, here’s a comparison : 68.7 billion seconds = 2178 years (and a few months) That’s really an insane amount of money… 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time Destiny got worse was the time Activision was involved. But they are not part of the team any longer. well then I have played nothing from their catalogue... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gunman47 Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Having mixed feelings about this, not sure what to make of it. With Microsoft buying out and trying to monopolize, gaming might start to stagnate over the next few years. On the other hand, maybe Microsoft may clean up the mess that Activision Blizzard is in currently. I'll be curious to see what is Sony's answer to Xbox Game Pass, now that Microsoft will likely have enhanced offerings to add to it. We'll just have to see in the years ahead, fingers crossed.

kdogg_gamer_ Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Sony may not stay competitive if they don't start buying shit. Also Spyro and Crash will no longer be on PS? Wasn't there a new Spyro game coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia1 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Wow, big news. I suppose EA would be next so they can get Fifa/other sports games and try to beat Sony, sorry, I meant Google/Amazon as Microsoft no longer even considers Sony competition (biggest lol, pathetic, and sore loser statement Microsoft ever put out). I'm not fussed myself as I'm not a big buyer of games of this company. Sony itself though can't afford to let this simply be though. An antitrust case or something that puts Microsoft in court should be possible now, especially with it coming soon after the previous buy out. Companies aren't supposed to be able to buy their way to dominance as Microsoft is clearly attempting. Though I'm not all that sure that this would do that and if it doesn't... this money ain't spare change even for Microsoft. The current CEO and Spencer will be at risk of losing their position if this doesn't show big gains for Microsoft in their gamepass business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its licensing more so than owning it fully, but I am not entirely sure. But Toys for Bob does those remakes and new ones and they are owned by Activision. 2 minutes ago, Rozalia1 said: Wow, big news.

But tbh - even if the games were funny, they had nothing to do with Spyro at all. So I dont think we'll lose this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "deals"? If you mean exclusive deals or whatever else then does don't do anything to stop Microsoft buying out a company. If you mean buying them then... yeah, I don't see Sony doing that. Sony's best move on this is to take Microsoft to court and gather up supporters. Nintendo is the obvious one but perhaps they can get some assistance from Apple too as Microsoft recently interfered in Apple's business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestUsername---- Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) There was a tweet somewhere that said Microsoft has stated that Activision games are enjoyed on variety of platforms and they will continue into support those communities. This probably doesn’t mean every game but I can expect games like Call of Duty and maybe Overwatch on that list of multi platforms. The deal will be finalized in July or June with the current Activision-Blizzard CEO remaining his position after the aquaistion. What this means, I don’t know.

Oh absolutely, because the microtransactions are going to bring in money on both sides of the consoles. But Spyro and Crash won't see another PS release.

Just a few weeks later, they confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be an Xbox Exclusive. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they could possibly buy out Ubi, but I am definitely worried about the future. I think PS had it right by developing their own talent.

Microsoft had Forza and Halo. It's not like anythings really happening now. Most of the AB-Games are PC-Exclusives. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgm4789 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I guarantee you this is only happening because of all the abuse alligations around bobby kotick are now devaluing his company and he is just trying to find the easiest way out of the shitstorm he could potentially be in. He may still be ceo now but i guarantee you he will probably announce his retirement within 1-5 years. Honestly i doubt they will make call of duty exclusive(its like minecraft in that its too big to rip away from playstation players without damaging the brand, nothing bethesda has on playstation is even close to that in both consistency and sucess) because of how warzone is pretty much linked hard to the most recent 3 games(and will be linked to cod 2022) but it is sad that sony is now losing thier big 2 og mascots and potentialy everything else like singularity and prototype and anything blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's not there choice anymore. If Microsoft sells more consoles and games because COD will become an Exclusive, they won't care about additional money from other platforms. Activision is just an object now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
