So was all the bad press Activision got recently in spite of, or driven by, acquisition plans? What better way to put pressure on a company to give up its independence than public shame and infamy?
Prolly knocked a few bucks off the price at least.
- koheripbal 5y agoIt might have made it cheaper, but I still think it's a bad deal for MS. Activision doesn't create very much new IP these days, and that's where the talent is that brings new games and gamers to your platform.
- palijer 5y agoI don't think creating new IP correlates that much with profitability these days. Taking a look at box offices, TV, and gaming as well shows that existing IP is plenty profitable on its own.
- Miner49er 5y agoMaybe not profitability, but I'd say it does with revenue growth. Activation's revenue has been mostly flat for a few years.
