Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
Microsoft has 'let Blizzard be Blizzard' following the acquisition of the veteran developer according to World of Warcraft's executive producer.
Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.
Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.
Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.
They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?
Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...
Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.
Wow, PassNextquestion,
You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.
When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.
It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."
This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"
I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
No.
Renting saves thousands of dollars a year.
I'm not rich. Maybe you are?
for me honestly, blockbuster and gamefly are the last things that even make consoles make sense, at least I could pay a cheap monthly and try a ton of games
there is ZERO chance of me buying a $400-$500 console, PAYING twice to use my internet to the tune of another $400-$500 for 7-8 years of the life cycle and then BUYING $65 games that after I am done with are worth virtually nothing
pass
I'll just stay on pc, game a full generation ahead of ps4/xbox1 and but $1 humble bundles that come with 5 games
steam sales
greenmangaming
amazon downloads
gog
backwards compatibility going back to the freaking 1970's
free mods that are better than 90% of console exclusives
and maybe, MAYBE when sony and ms wake up, and make their inferior machines actually priced correctly
for $200 and free online, then yeah.... I guess I'll grab one
Blockbuster's defunct a$$ needs to get an app up and running on Xbox One and PS4 and have DOWNLOADABLE rentals for games.
Be especially easy regardless of the current immense download sizes due in large part to the "play as you install" features. Dollar a day is the way.
I've played tons of games this gen thanks to Gamefly, and it will be the same next gen....so i'd say no
