Microsoft buys ATV for 70 billion dollars

[Jibartik]

Does this piss anyone else off?

[robayon]

Only if it gets my private WoW server shut down, but even then that'd probably be good for me in the long run

-stop ranting online about a hobby that died in 06.

[Tunabros]

no way!

[Jibartik]

When there’s blood on the streets by real estate.

[Tunabros]

New transmog skin available for WoW characters in the blizzard store!

People are saying it breaks immersion but I don’t think so. Would fit well on a hunter class since they used ranged guns

[unsunghero]

New WoW pet available in blizzard store! It’s the one on the top right

“Hi, it looks like you’re getting your ass handed to you in pvp, would you like some suggestions on how to get gud?”

[Reiwa]

TBC had 5 content patches, Shadowlands is only getting 2.

[Jibartik]

This acquisition for a toy company is almost 1/10th of a trillion dollars.

[Swish]

Can't wait to present a powerpoint outside the auction house.

[Jibartik]

I wonder how much of this merger was paid for with bailout money.

[starkind]

70bill is donut money for M$ and lol @ ATV going under.

[Kich867]

Shortly after this, Google will buy Microsoft to create Google Microsoft Activision Blizzard. Then, to achieve the second impact, Amazon will merge with Google Microsoft Activision Blizzard to create MegaCorp, and we'll achieve true cyberpunk dystopia in the next few years.

Or how much of that sale money is going to sexual assault settlements? Lol

My co-workers who are also friends and I used to (before covid shut them down) get SHITHOUSED at work holiday parties. We’d get a room and be passing out in the hotel bathtub because we might throw up in our sleep schammered. Like 10+ beers/shots in a night spaced out over 4 hours

They had a masquerade themed one where everyone was supposed to wear tiny masks like in the movie Eyes Wide Shut or something. I came in a bondage mask, and was so drunk I was handing the leash to random co-workers to drag me around with

And this was just one party. We were doing stuff like this at all of them. Some of the drunkest I ever got in my life was work holiday parties

All that drinking and no rapes. From myself or any of the other 300ish people there. Ever

It’s not fucking hard blizzard

that sounds fun as shit lol

[unsunghero]

Yeah it was good times. Sad now all I have is the memories. Our CEO is pretty covid-minded, he mandates vaxxing and he’s the one that axe’d the holiday parties

I can’t see them ever coming back. End of an era I guess

(I’m the guy on the far left in the first pic)

in the not-so-distant future you will need vaccine chip ID to purchase and play vidya games

[starkind]

I was thinking pretty soon if you don't code same sex marriage, furries, or transgender characters or African Americans in every game regardless of setting you could pretty soon go to jail or be sued into oblivion.

That there is even the slightest most marginal potential for that should absofucking lutely terrify everyone. Even gay African American trans men. Because once the government starts humoring those actions, the backlash will be a purge.

Microsoft Vax Status: OK

At first you get a new vax or booster every few months and people are thrilled, then it slows to one every 3-5 years then 1 per decade. Eventually you just take a pill to update your current vax every 10-20 years.

Linux vax is Microsoft vax (with extra steps).
Apple vax is only for artists and U2 fans.

[Toxigen]

its just for the other players safety

god forbid they exist in an online world with someone who sitting behind their computer didnt receive experimental RNA gene therapy drugs for a bad flu

please, do the right thing and accept your fauci ouchies before you cant play vidya no mo

It’s not even a bad flu dude. It’s a mild cold with a lingering cough, which is to be expected for any sort of upper respiratory infection. I took alkaseltzer plus for like 2 days and took some quality naps

[Jibartik]

As Americans struggle with one of the worst years in modern history a toy company was bought for $70 billion.

Well a big part of the reason they released a harmless virus was to consolidate wealth. Do you realize how many small businesses were wiped off the map to make room for megacorporations owned by the same 5-6 tiny hats?

[robayon]

I am sure the capitalists will iron out this wrinkle out of the kindness of their billionaire hearts, we just need freer markets and less regulation


Why yes I am a student of history, thank you

[Jibartik]

Yeah, the russian games are way better.

I could care less about the markets.

All I am saying is that during the pandemic Microsoft spent literally 1/10th of a trillion dollars on acquisitions.

And all that means is that you and your planet and your family and everything you love is doomed. DOOMED!

[Reiwa]

Please help, the government is bullying me into helping reduce ICU occupancy rates by asking for my voluntary cooperation.

This is very Orwellian guys!

You’re also unemployed

[Jibartik]

thanks uncle biden.

[Jibartik]

Wait does this mean that Microsoft owns Blizzard?

[Ooloo]

Covid is magically worse than the other million-billion times I've gotten sick in my life, with tons of things that also kill grandma and baby junior and whatever, and nobody gave a flying fuck before this. Why? I'm not sure.

Yeah, exactly.

Whats so hard to understand?

If you died from a bad cold, you were a weak human being and the species is better off without you.

Eugenics is too unpleasant for the peasant plebs to comprehend, thats why we require organizations like the Bilderberg group to make the hard decisions for us.

suck it up. the individual life is of no consequence, the state of the species as a whole is the grand concern.

All the same, you're still a non-conservative rightoid. 😘

[Trexller]

non-conservative rightoid. 😘

what is that? an alt-right liberal?

[starkind]

All fantasy lore is now fully copywrited forever. Gj if u want elves ur gonna have to license either elves from M$ or iElves from Apple. Maybe aElves so they can grab a new brand.

[starkind]

Also Reiwa is blowing u kisses 😘 so don't worry about it.

[starkind]

We really need to stop buying mmos.
