"Bobby Kotick: The most important is — it’s funny, you and I were talking about AI last time — as you look at the increased competition between Tencent, and NetEase, and Sony, and now you have Google and Amazon, and Apple, and Facebook, and Microsoft and Netflix. We were looking at over the course of the next couple of years, and starting to realize that we need thousands of people to be able to execute against our production plans. We need them in disciplines like AI and machine learning, or in data a***ytics, or in purpose-built cloud and cybersecurity — and that we just don’t have. And that competition for that talent is expensive, and really hard to come by."
all of the companies listed considered

but sure keep going
as I have been saying people were not expecting microsoft to pay the crazy amount or even the estimated 31 billion WHEN CALL OF DUTY IS ON THE DOWN TURN and developers keep leaving
similar to Elon buying Twitter for the price he did
These articles have nothing to do with what we’ve been discussing. I politely asked you for a source and you went on a rant and threw in some ad hominem attacks, then somehow I’M the one being argumentative. I’m not sure why I was expecting any degree of intellectual honesty from you but I won’t make that mistake again. Hope you’ve had a blessed day

You want a source for something companies tried to keep secret including throughout a counter case which made it quite obvious that it wasn’t only Microsoft
Yes I called you a dumbass because you’ve dragged the out for this long and refuse the Evan slight possibility that you are wrong
That’s why to me you are a dumbass
It’s not an ad hominem it’s very relevant to the discussion
When timed exclusivity
Exclusive titles and the property were all considered
Was Sony on the top of the list or most to offer ? No . But logically why would they not try ?
You think they are too good of a company to have it exclusive even for a year ?
You think there is no sort of deal with rockstar for gta vi ?
I’m asking cause I don’t understand how someone can think Sony is above deals or they don’t have the money when deals got them here
S*** we have a part marketing deal with Sony
Many third party games and companies do
You think they aren’t ever paying for that ?
-- And then he wonders why 1. Why nobody asks him s***. 2. Nobody cares about his opinion. & 3. Why he consistently gets s***ted on here lmao
I love it.
The source is the entire court case combined with other things . Anyone who has read through what happened knows it wouldn’t even be legal if just Microsoft was the only one
Also it’s always been said it was bidding
Others got out bid
On what was viewed as a dying company due to s***controversy and call of duty in rough spot
I gain nothing from someone asking me a dumb question like Sony ,tencent Amazon and google didn’t want a part of activision
Corporations wanted that s*** the idea that only Microsoft wanted to buy it is dumb it’s not a Bethesda situation
