Are these the same lawyers that made the decision to buy Nokia, or the same ppl that thought, lets include Kinect in the xbox one, or the ones that thought google stadia, microsoft Kin device was gonna be a hit. i.e. 'smart' professionals fuck up all the time in business decisions. Artstechnica...

Noone is denying this, Im saying per dollar spent this is not the case with most/all measures. are you literally not reading what I'm writing This is like the 2nd or 3rd recent thread I see here where I'm going hmmm, ...... I dont know what it is, social media perhaps, over exposure to too much...

Huh, sure they arent close but the amounts paid are no where close as well. Using your own figures, Revenue values per $ spent on the acquisition greatly favours the Embracer deal. Mate your own numbers literally show the activision deal was a much worse deal, revenue wise WRT IPs, well if...

well Gates was much bigger > 20 years ago :grin:. The thing is with Gates is he has said hes gonna give most of money to good causes, that doesnt sit well with the US conservative christian notion that Christians are the most generous kind ppl out there, if the most generous american person of...

Nah man DSoup is correct, sunk cost fallacy reasoning you're employing, If you're not enjoying it drop it. Time is your most valuable commodity

Its not just me who thinks this, Obvious 98% of shareholders think they got a good deal (i.e. MS overpaid) Did you see the news today? For a tiny fraction of the money Embracer got 3 studios plus the IPs Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Thief and Legacy of Kain franchises, as well as more than 50 back...

Hmmm thanks, I might have to look at getting some activision stock, Sure another stock could return more (and some will) but that requires having luck with what you pick. This seems a much higher chance of it happening.

hmmm So you are one of the 2%? i.e. the minority, and you said to me previously "Eitherway your probably one of the very very few people that thinks it's bad" :lol: Im part of the 98%, i.e. the majority, I just dont understand your reasoning, this is some trumpian logic, how can I be one of the...

Yeah perhaps there 2nd best album, I didnt know it was based on the orson scott card book (not sure I read it) Actually yes I did read it, I read all the The Tales of Alvin Maker books, better series than the enders game series IMO (though speaker for the dead is a brilliant book)

Compared to what the previous console was doing the xbox one, which often was in the double digits weekly, its a major improvement. In fact I think some weeks the Series is outselling the PS5 in Japan! OK the PS5 like elsewhere is supply constrained, but MS must be very happy with how the Series...

My average is 2.00 guesses About a month or 2 ago (when it was in the news) I tried it, got the word by fluke with my 2nd guess, first attempt 2 green & 1 yellow (so prolly actually my first guess was the fluke, the 2nd was just a good deduction) I promptly retired knowing that is near...

huh you misunderstand I dont think its bad, I think the opposite, for activision this is a real good deal. i.e. If I had shares I would be voting with the 98%, i.e. I agree with the majority who can see MS overvalued the company by a lot. Like DSoup saiz, MS were in a hurry to get this company...

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2022-04-28-activision-blizzard-stakeholders-approve-microsoft-acquisition-deal 98% of shareholders agreed which is no surprise as MS paid about double what it was worth Is there time for MS to back out of the deal before then or is this it?

WRT Bill Gates and why conservatives don't like him. Since it was not mentioned I'll say, the chief reason is cause hes an atheist. Laughable really

Today the worlds biggest company (also one of the big 5 IT companies along with MS,google,facebook,amazon though is amazon really IT?) released there latest quarter results, of course they were record breaking and amazing blah blah, anyways I saw the image with the article, It just shows the...
