E73: Activision, a Xbox Exclusive
Activision/Blizzard is in the news once again, but this time for another reason than controversies. So, as you might have guessed from the title, Microsoft is still waving it's wallet around, and this time they've acquired Activision/Blizzard!
We discuss what this could mean for the company in general, both Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. We talk about the games that have been acquired, what it means for the management and work culture, since Activision/Blizzard doesn't have a clean track record, slightly touch on the business aspect of this acquisition, and lastly how will Sony react to this change in the gaming industry?
Spartacus, Sony's streaming service is back in the news, so we have a short segment about that topic. What do we expect of it, what is reasonable to expect, and will this maybe help Sony in light of the recent acquisition of Microsoft?
NFTs just don't seem to go away... Troy Baker is this time in the news surrounding NFTs, and it's not that good...
