Seems like a better deal than the vapid fad that is TikTok, in addition to them partnering with Oracle which looks like a marriage made in a hellstew.
Well done Microsoft and Bethesda.
- toyg 6y agoTikTok is not an investment in tech, it’s an investment in relations with the US public sector. The fact that it comes with an actual company attached is almost irrelevant for Oracle.
- colesantiago 6y agoSure, but we are talking about Microsoft here. You should look at the rumoured purchase price that Microsoft was willing to pay for TikTok.
- throw_m239339 6y agoMS has plenty of "relations with the US public sector" already, they won the DOD JEDI contract. They didn't need to spend anything on TikTok. TikTok is a fad, like Instagram and other social networks.
- redisman 6y agoI'm not sure about this take. Are Facebook and Twitter fads 15 something years later?
- toyg 6y ago> MS has plenty of "relations with the US public sector" already Indeed, which is why in the end they didn't go for it and oracle did: one of the two cared about improving the relationship more than the other.
