REPORT: Microsoft/Time Warner may buy Activision Blizzard from Vivendi

Posted by Ballowers100 on Jul 11, 2012 1:41 PM

PC gamers throw out your voices now if Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard from Vivendi we can be sure that they will make Call of Duty exclusive probably for next gen Xbox or if they do continue to release Call of Duty for PC it would use Games for Windows Live and we all know how terrible that software is.

 

Step it up and do not let Microsoft buy Activision Blizzard and ruin our video game experience on the PC Microsoft are money grabbers and would leave us to dust and force us to buy Xboxes' which I will never do no such thing I play on the PC for life if Microsoft does buy Activision Blizzard we need to force them and tell them we want Call of Duty on PC as well not just consoles and make sure it will never have Games for Windows Live.

 

 

Read this link and shoot comments if you think it is real or fake and what you think about all of this.

    Pretty scary actually.

     

    Halo used to be on the PC, isn't anymore.

     

    Good thing there's still EA.  Oh wait nvm you don't buy EA... guess you better buy an XBox.

    I'm gonna tell you like this - and I know everyone doesn't agree - but I refuse to buy an Xbox just to play Call Of Duty lol! I've already skiped a couple due to lies and hype. I actually left the consoles to come here so if a move like that happens, oh well. Sadly, it's the way of the pyramid. If M$ did buy them, we can't do anything about it and no amount of protesting or petitions can change it. Just look at their game history on the PC already. M$ is all about that $$.

      I am with you man I will never buy any consoles they hold back game technologt severely I mean Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the first Call of Duty on PC to have DirectX 11 if that is true what Treyarch says.

       

      Call of Duty should of used DirectX 11 since it was released in 2009 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 all should of had DirectX 11.

       

      Same goes for Epic Games Gears of War was on the PC but it was a disaster with Games for Windows Live Cliff Bleszinski just made up excuses and blamed pirates then Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, and Gears of War: Judgment all became Xbox 360 exclusives pretty sad.

       

      Same goes for Red Ded Redemption I loved that game i played it on my brothers used Xbox 360 but I got bored quickly because it was not on PC also it would of been better if it waso on PC with mods.

          Props to you at least someone who plays on a console is standing up .

           

          I don't think Treyarch can do anything about it but it would be nice if Treyarch cries at Activisions CEO, COO, and President doubt it would work Vivendi/Activision Blizzard would jump on that $10 billion dollars instantly when that kind of money is offered to you greed can change a man .

           

          However if Activision Blizzard is sold to Microsoft and Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer games, and Treyarch opt out and look for someone else to publish their video games it would be nice but seeing as Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games made MW2 and MW3 sad looking on the PC I doubt it would change they would follow Activision Blizzard if they did it would be sad.

              I know exactly what you mean I feel the same way the sad thing though about the PC version of Call of Duty is that they made it a poor console port with MW2, MW3 Call of Duty: Black Ops just a little at least it had Ranked/Unranked Dedicated Servers and some type of mod tools but poorer quality than Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: World at War mod tools which are 10X better.
