[Couleurs]

what the fuuuuck

 

[Strings]

Huh. I guess they figured the scandal price was too good to pass up.

 

[kiguel182]

What the fuck
No way…

 

[Runwhiteboyrun]

The fuck.

 

[Cruxist]

Holy shit

 

[Neoxon]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?

 

[Mortal Mario]

Erm, what?

 

[Barbudo]

Holy shit!

 

[SteveWinwood]

well that's big

 

[Dreazy]

Lmao ayo ?

 

[ghostcrew]

Excuse me.

 

[Mike Rambo]

Fucking lol

 

[jph139]

My immediate reaction was literally "uhh, did he get hacked?"

Unbelievable situation if true, holy shit.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

Say what?!

 

[jayvo]

Jeeez!!!

 

[Strittles]

No fucking way

 

[Deleted member 4212]

Megaton

 

[Prime2]

Hahahahaha this is funny

 

[Sauronych]

Well that's fucking crazy.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Megaton of megatons if true

 

[Maxroy]

That's one way to boot Kotick, shame he'd get a sizable payment out of the deal.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

...what?

 

[Dest]

If Schrier is even bothering to mention it...

 

[Magneto]

WHAT
THE
FUCK

 

[Lukar]

Holy shit.

If this is true, I really hope they can turn the company around. Get rid of Kotick's crew, make the changes needed to make the workplace better, and actually listen to the employees.

 

[Lys Skygge]

Fuck

 

[SaberVS7]

 

[Matush]

That's game over for Sony, if there is no Call of Duty, then the can pretty much pack it up.

 

[nihilence]

Buy and fire Kotick.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Holy Cats

 

[RoKKeR]

WHAT

 

[Delaney]

Microsoft is really gathering all of the studios that I don't consume products from lol

 

[Hassansan]

Heard so many jokes about this but uhhhhhh ?? wtf?

 

[Aurora]

Before allegations (rightfully) get brought up I will say that having COD, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon exclusive to Xbox is an absurd timeline to live in.

 

[Dark Mantonio]

Good god

 

[Frieza]

Wow

 

[Milennia]

What the, holy fuck

 

[Lampa]

WSJ reporter.

 

[wbloop]

What
the
actual
FLYING
FUCK

 

[Zaimokuza]

M$ is really determined to buy the industry, huh?

Btw, this is why Big Tech is scary and their acquisitions should be heavily controlled

 

[Kevin360]

Wow. Holy cow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

 

[Rocketz]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh it's not April yet

 

[Kittenz]

OMG.
Well Phil did say that Activision was aware that MS had changed aspects of their relationship.

but….OMG.

 

[Tyche-42]

Yo what the fuck theres no way. this would mean COD could be an xbox game.

With games like COD on gamepass day 1 itd be completely unbeatable.

 

[Skai]
