Yeah, Fillion is also in his 50s so... I dunno if he’ll be in the mood to keep doing superhero films in 10 years or whenever that might happen.

When they hire babies to develop the game (they work for very cheap!)

Herbs don’t know how to run a site, much less a whole network of sites

Yeah, I have done that in the past. It just sucks at how much slideshow content is being put out these days in order to inflate the ad impressions.

Can’t properly express how glad I am this isn’t another slideshow. Friggin’ herbs are gonna ruin this site even more than they already have.

I dunno, I can see Jamie Lee Curtis in this silhouette:

As I said to the last few people that replied to me: Microsoft has said Nintendo platforms would get native versions, not cloud versions.

NOW it all makes sense

Well, it was more about the point that Microsoft has made commitments to make the game available on new platforms (Nintendo), third-party streaming platforms (Nvidia, etc.) and put it on services like Game Pass, which makes it available to many more users than folks who would otherwise be buying the game.

As others have said: I’m not worried about Microsoft acquiring those publishers. I’m concerned about somebody like Sony feeling they need to acquire somebody in response to this acquisition and going after a long-term player like Square Enix or Capcom.

Sure, that would definitely make things easier. Maybe they port Call of Duty Mobile to Switch or whatever.

Right, but I’m talking about acquisitions across all platform holders, not just Microsoft.

Yeah this might be better for Xbox and Activision Blizzard in the short term but consolidation - especially on this scale - is basically never good in the long run. My only hope is that this doesn’t set off a wave of other major acquisitions, because while I don’t really care about Activision Blizzard as a company, I…
