I mean, microsoft bought Bethseda, so I mean…anyone want to buy good ol’ Blizz from Activision? hehe…hehe…(hides in closet)
Nah they like their candy crush to much.
Sure. Whos got possibly hundreds of billions laying around they could spare?
Jeff Bezos / Amazon. Anyone want to start a petition?
Imagine if Blizzard i buy out by I don’t know… ELECTRONIC ARTS!
Blizzard does not belong to Activision. Activision-Blizzard is a joint company.
If I had to choose between Activision and Amazon…I think I might stick with Activision. At least they have some experience in the game market.
They would let Blizzard do their thing /because/ they don’t have experience. I’d rather give Blizzard the chance to make their own decisions about the game rather than corp. dictating the decisions based on investor revenues.
I can check my couch. I haven’t looked in a while.
Seriously though, Bethseda probably didn’t cost Microsoft a whole lot. Their stock hasn’t been doing that great with their last couple of releases not doing so well (Fallout 76). They are also strategically picking up new / established first party Devs to make content for them. This is almost a no brainer and another good way to get Skrym on another system.
Even if Microsoft buys out Blizzard-Activision, Bobby Kotick still would be a CEO of it.
More like 5-10 billion. Bethesda was worth 7.5 billion and as much as I love blizzard I don’t think they are worth more than Bethesda.
7.5 billion.
Microsoft bought WAY more than just Bethesda.
Who else has got a few bil just lying around? What about mattress money?
Microsoft
lol, such naiveté.
you think anything would change?
Blizzard isn’t worth much separately anymore. They are a brain drained company poaching last year’s trends hoping to get lucky.
But alas, can you not fathom the possibilities of much DEEPER pockets for a group of creatively-deprived devs just waiting for funding for all of their shelved projects? Eh? eh!!!?
Apple for sure does. Not that they would but…
Sony should buy blizzard from activision.
