Is this the equivalent of lemmy karmawhoring? I can’t see how this is related to the acquisition.

No, because Lemmy has no karma system.

I can’t see how this is related to the acquisition.

Activision fuckups are Microsoft fuckups now. Microsoft and lots on industry observers claimed that Microsoft taking over Activision would be such as good change. Turns out: It wasn’t, just as the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox was not a positive change.

Huh? My guy you have 5100 post score and 7100 content score, not sure what you mean.

Where? Does some special client calculate that or what? In the regular web UI, there are no points:

Also, I’m making many dumb jokes about motorsports, usually upvoted, so I definitively did not need to farm karma through a single reply, just to get pulled down again by people who keep denying that Microsoft is in charge of Activision now.

Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there

I’m not saying that they aren’t anywhere but it does answer the question whether I’m karmawhoring. And no, I don’t count points I cannot even see.

It’s a fairly stupid accusation but no, it doesn’t answer, because karma does indeed exist, even if you can’t see it.

Yep, I’m farming invisible points…🙄

To clarify: I did not make the comment to farm karma. I’m active on Lemmy because as a person who cannot program code, active discussion is my contribution to the Lemmy as social platform (definitively more active than on Reddit before migrating).

I don’t see how a game which was developed pre MS has anything to do with MS fucking up? That’s a soceopathic obsession with hating something, 99.99999% of people won’t think of blaming a company for this.

The game will be released by Microsoft. It’s that simple. They are free to delay the release by a bit and rework the bad things. But they don’t.

You seemingly don’t understand how an acquisition works

They control Activision now. No grey area. Just like Microsoft controlled to show full screen ads to Xbox users.

That’s not how it works when major companies buy one another, it generally takes years for integration efforts wherein prior leadership and plans remain mostly unchanged for more then half that time.

So who is responsible for the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox then if not Microsoft? Seriously, you’re delusional if you think that Microsoft higher ups have no power to order the Activision leadership around.

The acquisition has barely even started. I don’t think Microsoft has a single say in this games development yet.

Acquisition is completed. Announced mid October. It’s not like independent Activision had any power to show full screen ads to Xbox users before.
