Bill Gates is not simply the biggest owner of farmland in America. He’s the biggest owner of American video games.

Microsoft has announced it will purchase Activision Blizzard, the game studio behind several popular franchises, in a record-breaking $68.7 billion all-cash deal. Activision Blizzard has recently been engulfed in controversy.

The deal shatters the previous industry record set just last week when Take Two offered Zynga $12.7 billion for their acquisition. Microsoft’s announcement has seen shares of Activision soar some 37 percent, but Microsoft’s own shares have fallen more than 2 percent after the announcement.

If the deal goes through, Microsoft would become the third-largest gaming company in the world, behind China’s Tencent and Japan’s Sony. Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, detailed their interest in acquiring Activision Blizzard as being excited to invest in an industry set to play a big role in the future metaverse.

“Gaming is the most dynamic and exciting category in entertainment across all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms,” she said in a statement. “We’re investing deeply in world-class content, community and the cloud to usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive and accessible to all.”

Microsoft has bought up a bunch of indie studios and ruined them.

I can’t really see how they could make Activision-Blizzard any worse than it already is.

I mean, I guess they could like, add in ads for vaccines, and make every character in WoW wear a mask. Or somehow integrate the vaccine passport into their criminal microtransaction loot box illegal gambling scheme.

Did you know they still haven’t fixed Warcraft III: Reforged? Instead, they just stopped talking about it.

PLEASE boycott these games. Stop buying them.

I keep telling you: there are plenty of good indie games if you know what you’re looking for and you don’t have a 90 IQ. The last “blockbuster” game I bought was Cyberpunk 2077 and I promise you I will never buy one again.

STOP PAYING THESE JEWS TO JEW YOU WITH SUBPAR GAMES.
