Topic	microsoft spent more on activision than how much nintendo is worth
Zeus 01/20/22 7:25:07 PM #37:	MetalGarurumon posted... shoulda just bought nintendo tbh Literally not how anything works. Lokarin posted... How is Activision so rich when all their games suck? Micro-transactions? Or just the sheer number of games. Plus it might be more operating revenue in their case, not just profits? MetalGarurumon posted... that's not true at all, actually It's almost exclusively true. adjl posted... It's partially true. You can't outright buy a company that isn't for sale, but there are ways to make purchases that can ultimately lead to ownership of a company, regardless of whether or not the current owners want to sell it. That's going more into absurd hypotheticals half the time. Then again, it's possible Microsoft masterminded the Activision scandal to lower the value making them easy to buy. MetalGarurumon posted... the very first sentence Microsoft attempted to buy Nintendo when it was making the Xbox "Attempted to buy" is a fucking meaningless statement. In this case, it just means they talked to them. The US has "attempted to buy" Greenland on multiple occasions, and got as far. MetalGarurumon posted... if microsoft tried to buy them they would agreed, especially if it was years ago when they were floundering around No, they wouldn't have. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:961928761] in microsoft ...
