As some of you may know, they have been pushing the game pass pretty hard in the past 2 years. You pay a monthly subscription and have access to a lot of games you can play on your Xbox OR PC. More interestingly, Microsoft has a cloud gaming pass you can play xbox games on pretty much any device like a smart phone, older console, crappy PC, because it uses the cloud resources to play the games. Pretty neat.

$68.8 BILLION dollars... I can't count that high, maybe you can.

Meh, I stopped playing blizzard games years ago. I played Diablo 2 until about 2010ish. All their other games suck anyway.

Sorry to see this happen.

More companies competing in the market is better for the consumer...

Blizzard has remained the #1 MMORPG for so many years and it's doom is spelled by sexual deviants and it's utter demise sealed by Microsoft who will without a doubt make it a pay to win game.

fun while it lasted, even if i did stop playing after legion.

Re: Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard for $68.7 Billion Dollars
To be honest, I'm surprised Microsoft didn't buy Activision, Blizzard and EA back in 2005 or something. Just after WOW and Fifa 2005...

I'm wondering why it took so long for Microsoft or Sony to buy them. If I was Mr Gates, I'd have bought them all in 2000 just after the dot com bubble.
