    It's Finally Over - Activision Blizzard Joins Xbox

This also means that Activision Blizzard IPs such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Candy Crush Saga, and hundreds more are now owned by Microsoft.

    This entire saga of a tale began back on January 18, 2022...

    There were even some leaks we didn't share with you today. Leaks like how Microsoft was (or is) planning a mouse and...

    Bloomberg Reports on What Led to Redfall's Downfall

    Development so troubled that developers hoped it would just get cancelled.

    It may come as no surprise to you to hear that the development of Redfall from Arkane Austin was plagued with issues at all levels. This includes a lack of oversight from Xbox management, staffing issues, and an ever changing design basis for the game itself. When Redfall launched last month, it was met with plenty of poor review scores from critics and players. It was filled with a myriad of technical bugs,...

    Redfall's Disastrous Release is Phil Spencer's Fault

    The Head of Xbox assumes "full responsibility."

    Blame Phil. Really, he said it's ok to blame him. For what? For the overwhelmingly negative response to the recent release of Redfall. And, which Phil are we blaming? Phil Spencer, of course. The Head of Xbox himself says that he takes "full responsibility" for that game and the everything that's wrong with it.

    Spencer's noble self-sacrifice here was shared during a lengthy interview on the Kinda Funny...

    Microsoft Agrees to 10-Year Xbox Game Commitment with Nintendo and Nvidia

    The deal will bring some titles to Nintendo platforms and Nvidia's streaming services.

    Microsoft has agreed to a 10-year deal that will bring Xbox titles to Nvidia's cloud streaming services and to Nintendo platforms. This is being done in an effort to appease antitrust regulators that still feel as though Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard would lead to anti-competitive behavior or even a monopoly.

    In the deal with Nvidia, games like Minecraft...

    Report: Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo to Skip E3 2023

    E3's big return sounds like it's more of a dud.

    In September 2022, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced that E3 was returning. Not only was it returning, but it would be the show's first in-person event in four years.

    Now, we're learning that none of the three major console makers will have any sort of presence at the trade show. Sony and Nintendo not having a presence probably isn't too surprising. Those two companies had already started to do their...

    Microsoft Offers 10-Year Commitment to Bring Call of Duty to Nintendo

    This commitment will start with the Nintendo Switch.

    As the day came to a close on December 6, Xbox head Phil Spencer took to Twitter to announce a "10-year commitment" to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo platforms. This commitment would begin with bringing titles to the Nintendo Switch. This would, of course, depend on whether or not the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved.

    Curiously, Spencer also revealed that they are making an identical...

    Microsoft Offers Sony a 10 Year Deal to Keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

    The reveal comes as the Microsoft-Activision deal faces harsh scrutiny.

    The $69 billion (USD) deal that would see Microsoft acquire Activision Blizzard is still very much the focus of intense scrutiny from several of the world's regulation authorities. Apparently, one of the big issues that this regulators have is with the idea that Microsoft will pull several long-running multi-platform titles from those non-Microsoft platforms. Obviously, the Call of Duty franchise is one of the...

In the blog, Spencer tries to put to bed fears that long-standing multi-platform titles like Call of Duty would suddenly become Xbox exclusive.

    In the blog post, Spencer also says that franchises...

    Microsoft Has a Desire to Continue Releasing Call of Duty on PlayStation

    Well, at least for now.

    After news broke about Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard, Call of Duty fans on PlayStation started to get a little antsy. What would happen to their favorite FPS franchise on the Sony platform? Would they have to make the leap to Xbox to continue playing?

    After all, after Microsoft acquired Bethesda Softworks last year, it was revealed that Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 would be Xbox console exclusives. Call of Duty fans had that as a...

    Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard in Deal Worth Almost $70 Billion

    The dream of Candy Crush on Game Pass is that much closer to a reality.

    Microsoft is a stone's throw away from finalizing a deal for the purchase of Activision Blizzard. The deal sees Microsoft picking up the Call of Duty and Candy Crush developer for a staggering $68.7 billion (USD). Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spilled the beans in a new posting at the Xbox Wire earlier today.

    This deal seems to have been made at the "perfect" time, at least for Microsoft....
