Mikrasos gaming division has been focusing in on block buster games, a games that command more market share. With every generation, they reduce the diversity of their offerings and turn more studios into just churn out content for call of duty. Microsoft does sort of back these things and give these studios the space to finish them. And so this is, i think, one reason why people are kind f excited about the idea of an acquisition like this.
Paris Marx is joined by Rob Zacny to discuss the potential consequences of Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and what subscriptions and consolidation might mean for the future of games and the industry.
