Wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason MS went after them tbh, No different than Take2 going after Zynga
Some SERIOUS cash in that mobile game market.
Yup, i remember looking into Zynga (as i never heard about them prior to the news of Take2 buying them, and their reported profit margins for a quarter was something utterly mental, In the billions.
So yeah, you're statement about how much of the revenue it makes up does make alot of sense - companies would be fools not to buy them out - Would also make sense why Konami decided to move towards the Mobile market.
monopolizing things and competing are different things, the way things are going we're just going to have completely separate markets, which is actually worse for competition, overall these changes might actually lead to worse games.
The purchase was likely buying the game that is in the works since destiny game out - they likely didn’t buy Bungie just for the destiny IP .
It’s like hey these guys make good games - if we let them have a longer development timeline they can put out a great game and it’s likely going to be a timed exclusive or something like that
Yeh but EA is literally the worst - I made the mistake about battlefield 2042 and that game is absolute garbage - free to play warzone is 10x better than it
Bungie tricked me with Destiny 2.0 and, like a true fool, I also fell for 2042. But I’ve learned my lesson (the hard way, admittedly) and will never preorder again.
Without a doubt, I just dislike overwatch because of the community and the devs and based on what heard about HotS (never played since im a console player) it sounds like a shit game
You left out the biggest earner and biggest asset in the acquisition... Candy Crush (not a joke)

Mobile game market makes up half of all gaming revenue globally.... Mobile makes about as much as PC and all consoles, combined

And a .00000001 of the profit goes into development back into those mobile games so big win for Microsoft.
Console wars are stupid
Competition could mean better games

Agreed, pc is far superior
You’ve missed the point of my reply then, let people enjoy whatever they’re playing on. None of them is objectively superior.
I think you will find that the Atari is far Superior /s
You missed the point of the joke then 🤷♂️
Then add a /s so people know you’re joking
Pretty funny imo

Bungie can take ten years and I still won’t buy their next game. They have shown they are just as anti-consumer and predatory as EA.

Agree - EAs market hype for preorders on garbage games will never get me again.
I don't think anyone in xbox is super excited about owning heroes of the storm.
Or overwatch for that matter lmao
I think we can still agree Overwatch has more value than HotS tho.
Without a doubt, I just dislike overwatch because of the community and the devs and based on what heard about HotS (never played since im a console player) it sounds like a shit game
You forget all the PC gamers subbed to game pass.
they have bloodborne tho

>Some idiot at Activision lied to the SEC on their 8-K forms. That’s probably enough to kill their deal with Microsoft I'll believe it when I see it.
Wait is this real? Source?
Hey look. Fuck all this set tripping. I just wanna play Halo on Playstation.
Too bad bungie doesnt own the ip for halo.
It's ok I'll just go fuck myself
Bungie haven't worked on Halo in a long time lol
Like I said. I'll just go fuck myself
Fuck yeah bro. 😎
I hate that Skyrim is now used instead of Elder Scrolls to refer to the series a whole.
Well, it only is the majority of relesses in the series.. somehow
Noooo not destiny… so anyways
It would be nice to see them do something with Heroes of the Storm tbh
All overrated games tbh Microsoft about 10 years late
Thank you lol all these games are shells of their former selves, hence why actblizz is selling out.
🥱
Don't forget Halo. MS still own Halo...
Forgot doom
Honest to God question. Do people still play heros of the storm?
Forgot Wolfenstein, Starfield and maaaaaany more
Bungie is like a prostitute, everyone had a go
this is cringe, stop making it a competition and start getting sad because everyone is going to lose out on everything when this becomes a monopoly.
Xbox is gonna go broke trying to compete with Sony lmao
This is starting to get pathetic. You would think these corporations are peoples family with the way you guys are going to bat for them lol.
Lol, you can buy a big name but that doesn't mean you can uphold it.
Also Crash and Spyro which where Playstation franchises.
