Actually, that's one of the several items that are immediately uninstalled when I get a new machine.

very surprised. 68.7 billion all cash. Wow, MS has some serious money at their disposal. Microsoft saved Minecraft, so hopefully, they can save the games that Blizzard and Activision have created. I mean, come one, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Hearthstone,....

I hate the whole idea, but ... could they please buy The Expanse TV series and make the rest of 'em? Pretty please with sugar on? Or would they just give it a Ribbon and stick the Roci in the middle of the screen and call it a new series? :-D

1. Less competition now. 2. Bobby fount a way to get more money while his company was on a decline. 3. Some of the games could be saved, because many talents were leaving the company, and now it could be stopped. Maybe.

No, I'm not kidding. I know a Canadian finance company called Blizzard and Activision vaguely makes me think of VR goggles or something. However from the discussion above I'm assuming it's a computer games company. As per a thread elsewhere in the lounge today, I don't play them (occasional sudoku and 2048 aside) so have never had any reason to come across them.

So the old rivalry *Halo* vs. *Call of Duty* is no more... they are owned by the same company!

Activision is a trigger word to me that causes a flashback to Pitfall on the Atari 2600.
My first console! Phoenix, Pitfall, PacMan - The three big P's of our time :-)
