Big news indeed. Only time will tell if it’s good or bad.

Edit: Damn, $95/share is a pretty good premium to today’s price.

Some stock exchanges have already halted trading. Companies that acquire other troubled companies usually spin it off to avoid legal issues.

Massive news indeed. But is it really troubled? Did the lawsuits, strikes, mismanagement really put this giant to it’s knees?

It’s kind of hard to imagine, you kept hearing how it’s continuously profitable.

PC and Xbox. Can only be a win, especially with the declining quality of every expansion. Maybe then we get a good expansion out again.

Idk i got a bad feeling. I knew microsoft has been in the business of buying gaming companies for a while now, but this doesn’t feel right for some reason…

If all the stories of activision pushing blizzard and rush them is true, I don’t wanna think of what microsoft will do…

they’re buying them? hmm…

on the plus side, microsoft own minecraft, and it’s been doing pretty good…

on the negative side, they own rareware and have done almost nothing with them…

and on the medium side they own bethesda. and uh… not sure how to judge them. i mean, doom is good (from what i’ve seen), but i have yet to see how fallout/elderscrolls have been doing…

we’ll have to wait and see.
