I don’t know that bragging about how you’ve known Bobby for 35 years is a good thing

[ivenstorm]

Bobbys not going to last long in the company. With all the issues that he has had over the past 10 years, now that he isn't the head of the table anymore, once the deal is inked he's out. I don't think Phil Spencer is going to want to have the negative press that comes with Bobby.

[dukeskyhopper]

We're living in interesting times, boys.

[Kawayolnyo]

The second he said "Kotick's a genius" my sides began hurting so much from all the laughing that I had to call myself an ambulance. I nearly died from laughter.

[markdavenportjr]

It was bound to happen. And Kotick is not gonna last even a day with MS.

[MysteriousStranger]

Cramer with the smoothest brain take ever

[armandorivera]

It's hilarious listening to finance people talk about tech.

[redragna]

It's my favorite when business men who have no clue about gaming talk about gaming. I find it so funny them trying to BS on a subject they have no clue about.

Stocks do not crash, it's a special invitation to buy more. Time to make some great value plays! Dividend stocks on discount. Picked up 50 shares of QYLD and 50 shares of RYLD.

Cramer nailed it. I am glad for Microsoft. Their purchase of Bethesda and now Activision/Blizzard solidifies their library of IPs which is something that they desperately needed.

[cya]

Its a bold bet on the future of gaming from msft. The hardware, subscription. All the talent. What a move.

[hocuspocus]

Sony will not be able to compete against Xbox anymore as they simply do not have as much money as xbox. This purchase changes gaming forever.

[onieodelia]

ATVI stocks high by more than 40% since December. My FA who made me my six digits earlier this year predicted this earlier and to think I thought she was calling a bluff. I wonder how they get to know all these with a high degree of certainty...

[seventysin]

Play station and Sony crying in the corner right now

[captainkill]

Phill Spencer is gonna give and Bobby a fat pay check and send his ass out the door for good

[Terzaghi]

"XBox offers some videogames, nothing important", dude, the videogames industry makes more money than Hollywood each year

[swingtradebanana]

When this man recommends a stock, you run away and you run away fast

[jayclarke]

A lot of angry Sony PlayStation fans about this.

You should be more angry at Sony, for letting Crash and Spyro go.

Microsoft's Infinity gauntlet is ruthless.

[hallec]

this is really exciting, but also kinda scary. i hope they give blizzard the grounds they need to grow their games. my fear is that there will be more microtransactions or just a conization of misunderstanding the player base

[LordOfWaffles]

This is a great thing for the company, hopefully a change for the better!
