REDMOND, Wash. and Santa Monica, Calif. – Jan. 18, 2022 – With three billion people actively playing games today, and fueled by a new generation steeped in the joys of interactive entertainment, gaming is now the largest and fastest-growing form of entertainment. Today, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) announced plans to acquire Activision Blizzard Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), a leader in game development and interactive entertainment content publisher. This acquisition will accelerate the growth in Microsoft’s gaming business across mobile, PC, console and cloud and will provide building blocks for the metaverse. from: https://news.microsoft.com/2022/01/18/microsoft-to-acquire-activision-blizzard-to-bring-the-joy-and-community-of-gaming-to-everyone-across-every-device/This is the most expensive acquisition of Microsoft since time and we can't help speculating how much the metaverse tokens will be when Mircrosoft finally launch thier own in the metaverse. There is an impression in the Linux community where everything that Microsoft touch dies like Yahoo and Skype. Will Activision die too? But with this Activision + Metaverse, I think this is going to be a good decision for them to develop. Activision has lots of games where gamers are actively playing and the Metaverse which we can consider to be the future. This might just be one of Microsoft's best investments and projects to develop and get successful with. Unless they become very aggressive again and deploy KYC in games. You think?

"Metaverse" doesn't automatically mean it's going to have a token though. Like with what Facebook is doing; I doubt they're going to have a token. Some companies think of Metaverse as sort of something like "interconnected everything"; but not necessarily something that has to do something with cryptocurrencies.

Blizzard makes computer games, Microsoft owns XboX. (and some other game studios) I don't think it s that complicated and I don't see metaverse anywhere in this picture. Microsoft may ignore Meta completely which is a different company and a different project. Not everything is about crypto/meta.

In my opinion, it is nothing more than a diversification of investments. Digital games have grown significantly over the past five years, and legislation is still limited for these games. New waves of Covid-19 may continue, forcing more people to stay at home longer or spend more time with children, and therefore games Entertainment will be a successful investment.
I don't know what is the strange link between it and Metaverse? But even if Microsoft does this, it is something that investors like because Metaverse has become an important sentence after Facebook used it as a term.

There is an impression in the Linux community where everything that Microsoft touch dies like Yahoo and Skype. Will Activision die too? Lol! Linux community is furious about Microsoft because Linux community believes in Open source system which Microsoft doesn't. But you must not forget that Microsoft is the dominant player in commercial software and OS business. 90% of the offices still use Microsoft products. So when it comes to business, Microsoft is the King. But with this Activision + Metaverse, I think this is going to be a good decision for them to develop. Activision has lots of games where gamers are actively playing and the Metaverse which we can consider to be the future. This might just be one of Microsoft's best investments and projects to develop and get successful with. Unless they become very aggressive again and deploy KYC in games. You think? While all major tech companies are looking into metaverse and making themselves ready for web 3.0, Microsoft just don't want to stay behind. because if that is going to be the trend for the internet in future, Microsoft will eat their share out of it. Activision is a well know gaming studio and I don't think we have anyone in this forum who have never played "Call of Duty". It's interesting to see how the metaverse unfolds really. It can be very exciting or it can be miserable. So let's wait and watch! It's too early to comment on metaverse!

In October last year, Mark Zuckerberg announced the company formerly known as Facebook Inc. would undergo a major rebranding and become Meta Platforms Inc. So my guess is that Microsoft are turning into the same direction with new income opportunities opening up with everything digital in the so-called Metaverse. "Roblox" an online metaverse platform, has grown rapidly with 49.4 million daily active users, so these types of platforms are gaining a lot of attention lately, but it is going to be a gigantic effort to monetize them with Crypto currencies. I hope the future of the Metaverse will be like the Movie... "Ready Player One"

I do think that if they are going to be aggressive about KYC and also about imposing impossible rules, then at the end of the day they will end up cutting down their own customers. Which will eventually make their whole concept not very successful. There is a lot of speculation regarding this metaverse thing, but I do think that making everything interconnected would eventually cause the company to have worse standards for every individual thing. Companies are very concerned about not being up-to-date with the new technologies that every company will try and have a token, but what would these tokens do ? I think tokens will be an unnecessary clutter.

I don't think metaverse has anything to do with this acquisition Games market is growing exponentially since 2000s, and Microsoft already has some market share with Xbox. They are just expanding it: https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/1208674493368946689/photo/1Games market is a giant by itself, and wow and call of duty are giants in this market They arte probably focusing in their competitor, like Sony Playstation I do t think this acquisition will have anything to do with cryptocurrency . Maybe they will have some apps for metaverse in future, UT not directly related to Activision products

When Microsoft knew the Metaverse was a source of income that would increase their appeal even more they knew acquiring was the most effective way to have an early place in the Metaverse. regardless of how they run the system and will soon get investors into their pockets investing their money. Microsoft has the greatest popularity and in terms of growing its economy, it is clear that Meta is the ideal place.
In a big way, since the launch of Facebook into Meta, Microsoft has signed a land contract in Metaverse with Facebook and allocated a large number of funds.

When I've seen this news, it never clicked to my mind about Metaverse. It's just the usual and casual company acquisition that's happening with these bigger companies.
What I'm hoping for is that Microsoft won't change any policy and the way of the current management of Activision does. It's more of that acquisition is just about the shares and let them just do their thing so it won't die gradually just as the common belief that everyone sees with their acquisitions.

There is an impression in the Linux community where everything that Microsoft touch dies like Yahoo and Skype. Will Activision die too?
The Linux community is a pretty fractured one if I've heard right, and even if it wasn't I wouldn't treat their opinion about this merger as a Nostradamus-type prediction. What I do know is that Microsoft wants its hands in everything (which it almost does already) and that they don't give two shits about anyone's privacy--that's the part I care about most. Having been a long-time Windows user, it's disturbing how much information they attempt to gather, and if I were just a little bit more computer savvy I'd be in that Linux community myself. Assuming MSFT is allowed to go through with the merger I have a hard time believing they'll just take a hands-off approach and let Activision-Blizzard continue as it was. No doubt they'll make some radical changes for the worse, though I have no idea yet what they'll look like. They are a ruthless company that doesn't mind breaking the law to get what they want, so if I was a gamer (which I'm not) I'd be very careful about what games I buy if and when MSFT gains control of Activision-Blizzard. Too bad a lot of gamers don't care about privacy, especially younger ones.

"Metaverse" is just a marketing buzzword used by Facebook, if you are posting about it, you are just helping Facebook raise their stock value. It's no longer cool for a tech company to say that they are working on blockchain technology, because blockchain technology is old news, but Metaverse and NFT is a brand new hype.
I'm pretty sure that Microsoft doesn't care about Metaverse beyond occasional opportunities for positive press-releases.

It is not everything you do you must use your real identity, i don't know if playing games this days now require kyc otherwise why worry so much about privacy! am not a hardcore gamer but most of the few games i have played has always been on false identity, i don't feel it is necessary to give my real identity when i can register with fake identity, perhaps i haven't come across such games that require real identity to play.

Also in Cointelegraph https://cointelegraph.com/news/microsoft-s-massive-metaverse-move-buying-activision-for-69bIt's a good move for Microsoft, when a company gets to their size and has so much spare cash floating around it's hard to make your profits go up substantially unless you go for a big acquisition like this. Similar to Warren Buffett saying it is hard for him to buy companies that a big enough to make much impact now it has grown to such a huge size. They seem to make a logical pair, the only downside for consumers is it will make certain titles x-box and PC only - you'll see certain titles less on devices like Apple and Playstation in future unless Microsoft is feeling particularly altruistic. Maybe it is a play for the "metaverse" but that seems like such a gimmicky concept that has been tried many times in the past and is hard to see a decent return on.

Microsoft doesn't really "kill" everything they touch, they just have bad acquisition periods. Yahoo never had a chance to survive anyway, if it was bought by some other company or if it was still owned by the same people, do you think it would worth billions upon billions right now? I do not think so, they are mainly an email company, that is what they are most known for, and they have some other stuff that can be replaced very easily by other companies.
Skype was good, especially during this period of covid I am sure they saw some increase in usage but even with that the competition was better and most people used Zoom instead. So these companies had a lot better competition and they never really should have been bought for that much. Activision is different, they are a huge company and even the world of warcraft alone is great, even today if you asked me which mmorpg is better, after nearly 20 years, there are still no better ones. So, that kind of makes sense.

I think Microsoft is just there for the business hype and wanting to catch up with the market groove to push there name that seem to be less heard lately. It is just a name and hype that I see just with Facebook trying to build a brand with metaverse.

.. "Gaming" is the biggest form of entertainment there is, and Activision is apparently involved in some mobile games as well, another free-for-all type market. Microsoft is only heading where the money is, I'm not seeing where the connection to the "metaverse" is. Too many people throwing around a buzzword proposed by disconnected silicon valley tech elites that need to generate more start up funding from venture capitalist billionaires. I'm sure introducing the "metaverse" helps with their funding rounds, but perhaps not to anyone else that doesn't live in that tech bubble.

Microsoft wouldnt be spending out billions without thinking or without basis and we know on how relevant Activision is and speaking of metaverse and if Microsoft is really prepping for that one then this kind of action isnt really a bad idea at all even though we cant say that it would really be a good choice nor effective but we know on what industry they are focusing into. Investment made by Microsoft would always be a gamble but they arent that dumb on not to see those probabilities.
