Activision has announced in its latest financial report that Skylanders is now the company's biggest IP launch in company history.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
Is this the new Pokemon? Lol, I haven't really looked into what the game is about, but yeah... Is it really all that good?
I too cannot understand the praise this game is getting.
I moved up to edinburgh a few weeks ago and found my cousin had bought Skylanders and had like 6 or so figurines. There is an element mechanic at play where diferent skylanders are fire, water, magic etc.
It's a bad, bad cash grab of a game, justified by its concept.
You could be playing the game, and get to an area in game where a mechanical type skylander is required to progress. Dont have a mechanical skylander? Gotta buy one. So you're locked out of game content till you at least purchase all types of skylander.
Add on top of this it uses in-game advertisement as rewards for completing goals. Do you unlock new skylanders? No, cus they're physical and you gotta buy them. All these in-game ads are for is to make the kiddies aware of a new skylander that they feel they'll want to buy.
It uses a TF2-like Hat system.
The game itself is basic as fuck and not even fun in the way I could pick up a PS1 crash, spyro or croc game and enjoy with challenge.
Activision have basicly said, "Hey, what if we took the in-game selection option mechanic for choosing which character to play as, removed it from the digital format into physical; thus making you spend money to do something you could do by 'pressing down and A'. Great idea huh?!"
Not even taking into account it turds all over spyro, the game is shockingly shit.
Kids buy games, they don't download them.
