you’re telling me i’m not getting my long-sought Skylanders NFTs????!!!

All the comments about “Now Microsoft just has to bring back x franchise” is absolutely adorable. Microsoft made this deal for three reasons:

Hopefully it’s actually made of lead...

Finally. I am not a fan of big companies getting biggger but actbliz was a cesspool and the only company capable of buying them with any track record of fixing hr problems is microsoft.

Bobby K is polishing his golden parachute right now. Among other things.

I’m hoping Phil undoes some of the support studio nonsense that has been set up recently - where most studios are only making Call of Duty. And where Vicarious Visions was folded into Blizzard to help with Diablo.

MAY I SUGGEST CANNING? FREEZING? Getting on a damn plane to Florida!? Do you KNOW how expensive Jumbo lump is?

He’s got the most punchable of faces.

Corporations and their long held pipe dream of infinite growth. You can’t just make a ton of money, you need to make a ton of money on top of the ton you were making last fiscal year.

Embracer.

Probably Ubisoft.

Well, ESO and Fallout 76 also launched in pretty rough shape and are both largely fixed now, so it’s conceivable they could hang in there and fix it also (they recently said they are going to), but then, again, I don’t think it has as great of a foundation as those other games.

I saw this last night on a different site and it was already closed.  I’ve seen this article written on almost every other gaming news site today and ALL OF THEM fail to mention that you actually can’t download it.  Super click bait.

Gamestop really just needs to pivot hard at this point and just become what they bought: ThinkGeek. Thinkgeek succeeded in a marketplace where their shipping and general site were garbage but it worked because they provided products nobody else did. So of course gamestop got rid of that site, smushed it into…

I wonder how much console exclusives are REALLY driving console sales. Or is it the case where people by and large have chosen their preferred ecosystem, like iPhone vs. Android? Personally, I didn’t buy a PS4 or PS5 because of the exclusives. I bought them because I prefer Sony’s ecosystem. I’m also one of those…

Yeh non of these companies are struggling.

So don’t make stupidly expensive AAA games, then. Stop facescanning Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba and contracting 13 different studios.

I’m just here to laugh at that fucking $70 usb-c cable. Apple fans are more gullible than audiophiles when it comes to snake oil accessories lol

I lived through Sony 4/11. Never forget.

Not really.  We should be seeing Microsoft right the sinking ship that is Blizzard shortly, and that’s a good thing.  Hopefully with Metzen now back, we will see story and lore take precedence.

Great, now can I get a new Pitfall?
