Xbox Buys Activision Blizzard! The Microsoft Deal is DONE!!!

Follow me on social media:

Statement from Microsoft:

We love gaming. We play games, create games, and know first-hand how much gaming means to all of us as individuals and collectively, as a community. And today, we officially welcome Activision Blizzard and their teams to Xbox. They are the publishers of some of the most played and most beloved franchises in gaming history across console, PC and mobile. From Pitfall to Call of Duty, World of Warcraft to Overwatch, Candy Crush Saga to Farm Heroes Saga, their studios have pushed the boundaries of gaming for players around the world.

I’ve long admired the work of Activision, Blizzard, and King, and the impact they’ve had on gaming, entertainment, and pop culture. Whether it was late nights spent playing the Diablo IV campaign with friends from start to finish, gathering the entire family in the rec room for our weekly Guitar Hero night, or going on an epic streak in Candy Crush, some of my most memorable gaming moments came from experiences their studios have created. It is incredible to welcome such legendary teams to Xbox.

As one team, we’ll learn, innovate, and continue to deliver on our promise to bring the joy and community of gaming to more people. We’ll do this in a culture that strives to empower everyone to do their best work, where all people are welcome, and is centered on our ongoing commitment of Gaming for Everyone. We are intentional about inclusion in everything we do at Xbox – from our team to the products we make and the stories we tell, to the way our players interact and engage as a wider gaming community.

Together, we’ll create new worlds and stories, bring your favorite games to more places so more players can join in, and we’ll engage with and delight players in new, innovative ways in the places they love to play including mobile, cloud streaming and more.

Players have always been at the center of everything we do. And as we grow, we’ll continue to keep players at the heart of it all. We’ll continue to listen to your feedback, build a community where you can be yourself, where developers can do their best work, and continue to make really fun games. As promised, we will also continue to make more games available in more places – and that begins now by enabling cloud streaming providers and players to stream Activision Blizzard games in the European Economic Area, a commitment made to the European Commission. Today we start the work to bring beloved Activision, Blizzard, and King franchises to Game Pass and other platforms. We’ll share more about when you can expect to play in the coming months. We know you’re excited – and we are too.

Do you think this is GOOD or BAD? Thanks for LIKING the video! <3

[Enigmalake]

😱 the guy who said it wasn’t going to happen and Xbox was going to quit gaming 😂

[ArronTKO]

I remember the video where he looked like he was struggling to contain his joy before saying “The deal is officially blocked. It’s done”

😂

[davenoodle]

Dude, it's done the amount of times you said "it 100% won't go through" the amount of salt from your tears 😂

"The Activision-Blizzard deal is officially blocked, it's done. Microsoft is not buying Call of Duty." -ClownshoesGuy

[blackmondayy]

Can we please have a moment of silence for Playstation Guy and MBG ....

[DovahVokuna]

Dreamcastguy saying the deal is 100% not gonna pass. Blocked. 0 chance of the deal closing😂😂😂😂

[matthewhardwick]

I love the background and depressive tone good old DCG has when talking about Xbox. He never changes

[xsoundofsilncx]

You KNOW this guy is gonna cry himself to sleep tonight over this 😂

[NyceU]

I'm a Sony fan boy since the 90's. I'm truly excited for Xbox now, Sony can finally get off there high horse and give us better games on PSN especially since they increased the price. This will give awesome competition

[Sacrush]

If Sony bought Activision Dreamcastguy would have had a big smile on his face the whole video.

[seanspear]

Didn’t Dreamcast guy said it wasnt going to pass?

[RiThaKilla]

As a PlayStation guy I am so happy I’m about to cry. I’ve been on my series X almost everyday for 3 months.

[daviddesrosiers]

Now do the version of this video you'd be making if it was Sony buying Acti-Blizz.

[xDOT]

As I said in the end Microsoft will own ABK! I remember when Dreamcastguy was making videos saying the deal was dead!

[wodensthrone]

As someone who always gets all the new consoles, I don't care about this, I go where the games are and don't let fanboyism restrict me to one eco system.

[dylangirard]

Now we can finally put this whole thing to rest.

[osamahanged]

This dude is funny as hell. He can't help himself that he's upset about this. Clearly a Sony pony through and through.

[samwyatt]

I love how he says Xbox is right behind Tencent after this deal but completely ignoring the fact that it said Tencent and Sony 😂

[CrunchyTacoShell]

I just want the games to hurry up and get on game pass
