     @eris especially with valve since gaben absolutely hates microsoft, ever since he left there in the early 90s

     @Moon @eris Pretty sure they can't purchase Nintendo because of some Japanese law
     
     And Valve's actual valuation is probably insanely more than Activision-Blizzard, they practically own the PC market, and thanks to Steam not being hostile, will probably hold it for a long ass time

     @coolboymew @Moon @eris they have a Japanese subsidiary, pretty sure if they can't buy Nintendo directly they'd be able to do so indirectly. But they'd have to offer the sun and the moon to not be rejected so hard the entire MS board would feel obligated to slit their bellies

     @eris @Moon Starfield has to be the least talked massive release I've ever seen, all I'm seeing from it is basically the various fuck ups. They basically started mass purchasing studios just when AAA is really starting to sink
     
     Unfortunately this farce is going to go on for longer

     @coolboymew @Moon also I do think the Xbox exclusivity really hurt Starfield and I'm not sure why they expect that to be desirable with Elder Scrolls 6 either...

     @Moon @eris The only scenario in which Microsoft acquires Valve involves the annual Hawaii trip plane disappearing over the Pacific.

     @Moon @eris why would he? He's gonna be printing money for a while, whereas MS now only sells gamepass because their studios are expensive crap and the investment on that shit doesn't return.

     @coolboymew @Moon @eris there's a perception that Nintendo is a wholly Japanese company but a lot of stuff happens at their offices in Redmond which is where Microsoft HQ is. Same with The Pokemon Company. Huge employer

     @olmitch @Moon @eris No but really, I think there was a recent sales leak from that one court document, I cannot find it on /v/ right now, but the software sales that Nintendo has on the Switch are legitimately insane
     
     If you consider the Mario IP and Pokemon together, those two alone probably surpasses Microsoft's worth

     @Moon @coldacid @eris Nintendo is basically making money hand over fist, practically everything they made on Switch is almost a million seller. They're currently the most lucrative player in the industry. Microsoft literally cannot muster enough money to purchase them

     Just to be clear, you're not mixing up yen and dollars, right? Nintendo's market cap is a quarter of Microsoft's revenue. An acquisition with shares would involve like 2-3% of Microsoft's stock. Microsoft is a *massive* cloud services provider that is still making bank on legacy services, they aren't poor by any means.
