They certainly are cleaning house there.

Call me when Blizzard is close to chapter 11 then I will read some news about it 😁 Blizzard now is just dog shit on the sidewalk 🤣😁 I would laugh pretty hard if Overwatch 2 was just suddenly postponed indefinitely, or just canceled.

Another day another canon blast exploding through Activision Blizzard's ship.

I wonder if Bungie had any insights into Activision-Blizzard's culture and policies? They certainly timed the breakup very well, they didn't have to be too much on the news on this, and it was mostly seen as a positive at that stage for Bungie. They dodged a bullet here, and I'd be interested in knowing if their management had smelled the steaming crap pie in the group duopoly's oven.

At the same time, investors seem to believe in the company as the stock is at $85 right now. I wonder if from the pure investor perspective it would be a good time to buy when there's a lot of fear in the markets... The stoc was at $45 just a couple of years ago, after Bungie departure announcement, so I can see it going back there as well, depending on how their earnings reports are.

However, at the same time, ethically, I don't want to support any toxic culture companies, so they are not getting my money in any way.

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX1d 4h ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H91d 1h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro23h ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos3h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos1d 5h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris1d 1h ago
