“Microsoft will acquire Activision Blizzard for $95.00 per share, in an all-cash transaction valued at $68.7 billion, inclusive of Activision Blizzard's net cash. When the transaction closes, Microsoft will become the world's third-largest gaming company by revenue, behind Tencent and Sony”
I would be happier but on buying they just eject Kotick. The guy uses both companies as a personal piggy bank and under his leadership, Blizzard has floundered. On so many opportunities they have squandered everything. For example, an Overwatch animated series on Netflix was planned but Blizzard was not responding in time and was lazy with communication.
I think this is not going to save Blizzard because Blizzard is a dead company, they have lost so many creative leads that their projects are shadows of their former self. There's that saying from Lost "What's dead is dead." and the is ABC currently.
More power to them but they have not addressed the issue, and that is the rot in the house.
68 billions... i wonder how many lives I need to live before I can acquire as much money. Crazy how humans can still seek money more than anything, even after they obtained so much. Isn't Bill Gates satisfied with his life already ?
But Microsoft did good with Minecraft, they gave the devs a lot of freedom and support, so I am willing to give them a chance. Can't be any worse than it is right now anyway..
I don't care about the future of hearthstone, game is dead and buried already, with unsustainable economy and game balance, but I'm intrigued about World of Warcraft, I'm curious what they'll do with it.
World of warcraft coming to XBOX XD ( joking) nah i believe hearthstone still has future just one expansion and it will be good and also you will find that things will be done on time no delaying ..etc i hope so

Well assuming you earn 120000.0 $ per year (10000 per month) which is generous (or very generous) depending on where you live. You will need only 566666.666 years! Now keep in my mind that top 30 richest people in the world have on average 80 billions (260 bn, the elon boy in the 1st place) and the majority of them made their bulk of their money from speculations in markets (basically moving money around producing nothing).

Welcome to late stage capitalism!
I earn 900€ per month so I guess it's not 566666 years but more like 5666666 years. Good times. I would do the years at my current job if I could !
Not that I need that much money or even want it, I was just curious. I can go on with my life and accomplish all my dreams with about 50000€. I'm very close actually !
I tried speculation at my level... Not my thing at all. In just a couple of days it deprived me from sleep and peace because I was constantly checking if I'm green or red, just awful experience, my zombie brain can't handle moving money around so easily in a virtual place. I think I still have some bitcoin sleeping somewhere. No idea where or how to access the wallet. Probably got hacked a long time ago.
anyway i must admitt that the management from the "activision-change" was improving little by little every time

I guess today I talk about my life, enjoy
Good for you my friend, I am doing fairly good myself and i am very pleased with my quality of life. The thing is that this extreme wealth is dangerous. Money is power and i personally do not want a single man alive with this much unchecked power. But this is just me i guess.
As for your results with speculation, do not worry my friend. The vast majority of little guys get eaten alive (whether that is the blockchain markets or stock markets) as you need 2 things to succeed:
1.Complex machine learning progrmams that take complicate decisions in milliseconds and monitor the markets 24/7.
2.Extensive information in real time about the markets.
Which as you can see, we average joes do not have them in our disposal.

Bill Gates retired last year my guy. And he hasn't controlled Microsoft for over 13 years.

Whatever his/her/their name is, you got my point. I understand it's not just one person with 68B on his bank account. He still owns most of Microsoft, no ?

Not even close. Gates owns 1.3% of Microsoft.

Thoughts?
“Microsoft will acquire Activision Blizzard for $95.00 per share, in an all-cash transaction valued at $68.7 billion, inclusive of Activision Blizzard's net cash. When the transaction closes, Microsoft will become the world's third-largest gaming company by revenue, behind Tencent and Sony”
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Somebody had to do it.
Hearthstone optimized for playing with a controller update :o
Well more games in my xbox game pass, not that the blizz games are worth playing atm :P
I would be happier but on buying they just eject Kotick. The guy uses both companies as a personal piggy bank and under his leadership, Blizzard has floundered. On so many opportunities they have squandered everything. For example, an Overwatch animated series on Netflix was planned but Blizzard was not responding in time and was lazy with communication.
I think this is not going to save Blizzard because Blizzard is a dead company, they have lost so many creative leads that their projects are shadows of their former self. There's that saying from Lost "What's dead is dead." and the is ABC currently.
More power to them but they have not addressed the issue, and that is the rot in the house.

Anyway, i will not torture you anymore :P
Best Wishes again my friend!
Quality of life... Oh yes the thing that existed before covidism in my country. Even that they had to ruin it. Anyway... Best wishes to you too !
