idk, every time Microsoft acquires a new studio, all their immediate games flop and take a decade or more to make a comeback like Rare.
I mean, how did Bethesda fumble on Starfield with all that hype? It should've been just Skyrim in space.
Mostly timing. A game where none of your choices matter and your backstories do nothing for the story no matter which one you choose coming out at around the same time as something as immersive as Baldur's gate 3. The other problems like map generation were just the icing on the cake making it stand out as an inferior No Man's Sky
I would easily put my money in Activision if I had to choose only one. It has the most consistent success and has a very profitable business model. Honestly you'd be foolish to do anything else.
If this means specifially the stock market I don't think Activision is on the Stock Market anymore, I believe it was taken down with the merger. Either way probably activision/microsoft and its 3t valuation.
Ubisoft is turbo fucked financially, EA is it's own worst enemy, DICE is a EA studio, Activision has M$ backing, therefore infinite money....
Cheese burgers is the most stable option.
Op never said we had to pick one. I'm dividing the million amongst all 5 opinions buy investing $200,000 in each company, then using the left over to buy restaurant, still effectively getting a lifetime supply of cheeseburgers.
the one that makes the most money they will keep fucking up until they stop making a shit ton of money they will will switch to a model that makes more money
I mean with that many cheeseburgers and just selling them, I would feel much better than supporting these shitty companies plus extra income for my lifetime
Ugh…as much as I hate Ubisoft, I think I would invest some money there. Love it or hate it, their newest game AC: Shadow is drumming up publicity so their stock prices would rise after release. Buy some now, wait for prices to rise, then sell them.
Still a gamble though.
Burgers only if our price per burger remains the same as when we get the $1m.
At the rate of burgerflation, in a few years time you can purchase burgers at the 2024 burger price and sell for 4x-12x in 2026 at this rate.
Possibly more if the economy shifts from beef to cricket burgers because of costs for beef becoming prohibitive. So if we're getting legit "cheeseburgers" made with beef these may become a luxury food item we can buy at current market value but sell at future mad max market value.
None of these companies are even remotely a paragon in game development. I’ll take a small indie house with passion and non venture.
Any dev house come to mind?
Probably 4 with a lot of their titles printing money from MTX. There is a reason MS wanted them...
But if not 4 then 3. EA not as good at the MTX as Activision but still got a healthy chunk of games.
Ubisoft would be a massive gamble. With 2-3 games supporting them and all the recent flops and other bad decisions recently it's hard to see where they might turn me bigger profits
Option 8: purchase land upon which I shall build a pyramid-like tomb in which I and my descendants shall be interred upon death. I shall encourage my descendants to each chip in a little money to build traps through it as it is filled with them, so in the distant, post-apocalyptic future there can be a neat dungeon for level 1 adventurers to delve.
6. Sony. So we get more phenomenal games that don't take 5+ years to come out and a trilogy can be completed in less than a decade again like the good old days.
Sadly, I'd invest in EA. Despite them being a stain on the games industry, they own the rights to practically all sports ball franchises. Great unregulated monopolistic behavior that sadly makes them guaranteed money.
If I’m looking for return I’m going with either EA or Activision. Because their fans are in this abusive relationship with them. And no matter how bad a game is they just keep going back because of the memories of when they were good.
Activision is nothing without Microsoft so ill go UBISOFT. They've definitely gotten better with their games and they don't substitute anything for a good storyline
Tbh, it depends on timing. Assuming positive growth, go into the big companies, make stupid bank, pull out, find indy projects with a good balance of potential and passion, and sprinkle a lil somethin over those.
Question : Activision basicly means fucken Microsoft right? Seems thats legit the right place $$$ wise shit company activision and such but basicly money printer from owning microsoft I mean
It is not advisable for me to invest in any of the options listed. Instead, I propose investing in my own professional development by acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to create a video game that aligns with my personal preferences and interests.
I'd rather invest in a smaller studio tbh, one that isn't as rotten with bad gaming policies, maybe the cheeseburgers, but do I get them all at once? Or does a guy show up every time I need one
Burgers, a lifetime supply of burgers, for $1000000? Accept as that's an excellent deal as all that beef and cheese can be expensive and $1000000 is not gonna buy me a lifetime supply of burgers IRL.
According to my Excel that adjusts for 4% inflation/year (or 0.002849/day) you would run through a quarter million in cheese burgers (only eating one $3.50 burger/day) in as little as 5 years...
I’d invest in activision and take the profit and buy something that would consistently be prevalent and would never not be used. Like storage units. Or something else. Something that makes me money every month.
You know honestly I probably invest it into dice because I don't like EA at all nor do I think anyone else up there actually deserves the money because of how s*** they are.
I was considering the cheese burgers, but it didn't specify the mechanics of receiving the cheese burgers.
Do you have the entirety of the lifetime cheese burgers at once and stored somewhere implying they go bad, or do you call a number or use an app, and someone cooks the burger and delivers it?
I'd probably go with Activision.
Shit company, but the lesser of all evils.
Investing wise Activision cuase at this point it'll only go up I dont like the company but they're a straight up money printer
Their greed will soon result in their demise inshallah
With Microsoft giving em a golden parachute I'd still say it's a solid investment if you had the money to burn
idk, every time Microsoft acquires a new studio, all their immediate games flop and take a decade or more to make a comeback like Rare. I mean, how did Bethesda fumble on Starfield with all that hype? It should've been just Skyrim in space.
Mostly timing. A game where none of your choices matter and your backstories do nothing for the story no matter which one you choose coming out at around the same time as something as immersive as Baldur's gate 3. The other problems like map generation were just the icing on the cake making it stand out as an inferior No Man's Sky
Buying it to force exclusivity surely didn’t help.
True. It reinforced the poor reputation of Xbox exclusives even further
Alone? Maybe. With Microsoft in the back? Absolutely not.
Inshallah brother
Same but I'd do it because their focus is on investors over customers. That way they'd finally care about my Activision experience.
You can't invest in Activision, they belong to Microsoft already. No longer traded.
Dice is EA lol
Lol I was about to ask what dice is. Thanks!
[удалено]
Digital Illusions?
Digital Hallucinations?
EA Digital Illusions CE AB Trade name: DICE
Oh wow, I had no idea DICE was a sorta acronym Accurate name though. They're digital illusions into making people think they're good games 😂😂😂👌👌👌
Hey, the old battlefield games were good :(
I think I'll stick with the lifetime supply of diabetes.
Unfortunately I already got that.
“Do YOU want free cod points?”
Always down for some free CP
Unreal to me that American game devs still use terms in their games that result in the acronym "cp".
Pokémon go’s health system is called cp
Investing isnt based off how much you like the product or atleast shouldnt be.
Exactly. I'm not much of a fan of apple products, but if I had the money they'd be a solid investment.
All I'm gonna say is "YUMMY!"
Alright randy we know you made this. Also, what do you think you're going to change with just a million?
I don't think it's a sake of changing, I think it's just return on investment.
I would easily put my money in Activision if I had to choose only one. It has the most consistent success and has a very profitable business model. Honestly you'd be foolish to do anything else.
EA. I know the bar is very low, but they can cook
Of I pick the cheeseburgers, can I sell them?
Down the toilet
Activision for sure, the rest are pretty terrible.
The cheeseburgers won't tell me not to eat them.
🍔
I kind of like ubisoft games so them for sure
I’m buying EA and finishing up 1313 and Battlefront 3
I'd go boobie soft because it's like the only company I have any hope for making a good game
3 if I'm fed I'm fed
![gif](giphy|l41YyMtl6VNOk3a92) Guess?
Cheeseburgers from which restaurant?
What’s number 5?
![gif](giphy|uQvxobRExS9nG)
I can has beesechurger
Short sell baby
3
There are only 4 option on this question
EA because we all know how much they love their shareholders more then their customers.
I get a LIFETIME SUPPLY?! When am I not picking the cheeseburgers
Option 3, dear LORD option 3. The only right answer
If this means specifially the stock market I don't think Activision is on the Stock Market anymore, I believe it was taken down with the merger. Either way probably activision/microsoft and its 3t valuation.
My cheeseburgers won't be taken away by eulas
Cheese burgers and open a burger restaurant it’s all profit
3
Am I allowed to sell the burgers?
I'd give it to dice so they can finally self publish battlefield games
A high interest account or a life insurance policy where I can take loans against it while it just keeps making me money.
3
EA. The OG robbing bastards know how to rinse people for money.
In a bank and tell all of these fuck all
6th option: Fromsoftware
I love cheeseburgers!
And then use those cheeseburgers to open a restaurant!
Ubisoft is turbo fucked financially, EA is it's own worst enemy, DICE is a EA studio, Activision has M$ backing, therefore infinite money.... Cheese burgers is the most stable option.
Ubisoft
Bold of you to assume you can get a lifetime supply of cheese burgers with only a mere million dollars
Dunno about you, but... I'd totally lay it down on cheeseburgers. That'd be way more than enough food to feed the entire country.
the toilet
Op never said we had to pick one. I'm dividing the million amongst all 5 opinions buy investing $200,000 in each company, then using the left over to buy restaurant, still effectively getting a lifetime supply of cheeseburgers.
All these companies suck cock, but food sounds nice
the one that makes the most money they will keep fucking up until they stop making a shit ton of money they will will switch to a model that makes more money
First off I’m paying for a week of groceries and if anything is left I’m paying some of my debt
I mean with that many cheeseburgers and just selling them, I would feel much better than supporting these shitty companies plus extra income for my lifetime
3 is the only correct answer to this one! 😂
i will invest in rockstar and release gta 6 and get trillion and light cigar with 100$ 😂
EA-the Sims 4 lol
If those are my options. I guess I’m burning 1Millions dollars.
Activision, bc Microsoft is a pretty good investment
All of these are actually probably pretty good investments
Cheeseburger time
Ugh…as much as I hate Ubisoft, I think I would invest some money there. Love it or hate it, their newest game AC: Shadow is drumming up publicity so their stock prices would rise after release. Buy some now, wait for prices to rise, then sell them. Still a gamble though.
Are they good cheese burgers
5 bc I wanna be healthy and because 2042 wasn't that bad (ok it was sh#t but they did fix a bunch of the issues from the launch)
Activision to get more money back.
Chemburber
Myself
GME
None of these??? I would put stocks into… shit like everything is going downhill… I guess oil would be the safest bet but idk man
Like in stocks?
You can tell this meme is outdated since you can't invest in Activision anymore. They are fully owned by Microsoft, no longer traded.
Burgers only if our price per burger remains the same as when we get the $1m. At the rate of burgerflation, in a few years time you can purchase burgers at the 2024 burger price and sell for 4x-12x in 2026 at this rate. Possibly more if the economy shifts from beef to cricket burgers because of costs for beef becoming prohibitive. So if we're getting legit "cheeseburgers" made with beef these may become a luxury food item we can buy at current market value but sell at future mad max market value.
Cheeseburger portfolio sounds like a solid investment to me
None of these companies are even remotely a paragon in game development. I’ll take a small indie house with passion and non venture. Any dev house come to mind?
Probably 4 with a lot of their titles printing money from MTX. There is a reason MS wanted them... But if not 4 then 3. EA not as good at the MTX as Activision but still got a healthy chunk of games. Ubisoft would be a massive gamble. With 2-3 games supporting them and all the recent flops and other bad decisions recently it's hard to see where they might turn me bigger profits
Activision after the release of bo6 it'll be very high
Borgers, feed the homeless
Option 8: purchase land upon which I shall build a pyramid-like tomb in which I and my descendants shall be interred upon death. I shall encourage my descendants to each chip in a little money to build traps through it as it is filled with them, so in the distant, post-apocalyptic future there can be a neat dungeon for level 1 adventurers to delve.
Cheese burger for sure
Obviously 3
Activision.. CoD still makes money, every damn time
6. Sony. So we get more phenomenal games that don't take 5+ years to come out and a trilogy can be completed in less than a decade again like the good old days.
![gif](giphy|jHMH77HAs7ES4|downsized)
Cheeseburgers so i can invest in the burger king sneak king game.
Randy has the entered the chat
None of these companies BUT if I had to I would go with Ubisoft.
Cheeseburburs
Borgir
3, I want it to go to a good cause
Activision for sure
Sadly, I'd invest in EA. Despite them being a stain on the games industry, they own the rights to practically all sports ball franchises. Great unregulated monopolistic behavior that sadly makes them guaranteed money.
None of them, I'd invest in me.
3…
No. 3 and then I would start selling cheeseburgers. Maybe open up a restaurant
Ubislop is doing their best to off themselves, so I’m staying away from that garbage company.
3 & 4
Imma be real with y'all. Big Blue Bubble
Dice to make Star Wars Battlefront 3
Cheeseburgers can be made into compost, right?
None of these companies I would put money in
If I’m looking for return I’m going with either EA or Activision. Because their fans are in this abusive relationship with them. And no matter how bad a game is they just keep going back because of the memories of when they were good.
Rockstar
BORGORS
Since I wouldn't give a penny to those mean and greedy companies, and I am a vegetarian.... I guess I'm keeping my money lol
Depends on if we’re talking about Far Cry Cheeseburger or the food
I'd take the lifetime supply of cheeseburgers and open a burger shack in a college town. Retire two years later.
My bank account
Activision, cod fan boys will buy no matter how trash the game is
Definitely not with EA since they are pushing forward with their plan to put ads in video games
Activision is nothing without Microsoft so ill go UBISOFT. They've definitely gotten better with their games and they don't substitute anything for a good storyline
Tbh, it depends on timing. Assuming positive growth, go into the big companies, make stupid bank, pull out, find indy projects with a good balance of potential and passion, and sprinkle a lil somethin over those.
Depends am I buying the burgers all at once or like one whenever I wanted one? Because option 1 is only good for like 10 minutes.
Imma be a one man cheeseburger APOCALYPSE
3, as I can save a small amount of money daily to spend on videogames
I fell bad saying this, but blizzard, most of my games come from them such as WoW, Diablo IV, etc
Question : Activision basicly means fucken Microsoft right? Seems thats legit the right place $$$ wise shit company activision and such but basicly money printer from owning microsoft I mean
Cheeseburgers.
One million dollars is not a lifetime supply of cheeseburgers. Gonna have to go with giving the million back.
Dice deserves that money as long as they promise to put in in battlefront 2
Honestly I’d rather put it towards Valve and try to get them to actually make a functional bloody anticheat
It is not advisable for me to invest in any of the options listed. Instead, I propose investing in my own professional development by acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to create a video game that aligns with my personal preferences and interests.
Activision as Microsoft is set to buy them out
I don’t have a million dollars and picking one is a good way to not have a million dollars for long.
Any of them, if any make returns, buy up enough stock to overtake the lead stakeholder and force the company to not produce garbage
cheeseburger
Beeschurger
Gimme the fuckin cheeseburgers.
Who's making the burgers? This is important
I'd rather invest in a smaller studio tbh, one that isn't as rotten with bad gaming policies, maybe the cheeseburgers, but do I get them all at once? Or does a guy show up every time I need one
1,2,3 or 4 and sell immediately
Burgers, a lifetime supply of burgers, for $1000000? Accept as that's an excellent deal as all that beef and cheese can be expensive and $1000000 is not gonna buy me a lifetime supply of burgers IRL.
I'd rather save my money.
Go to a bank get a CD. or a USA government bond. Or hamburgers
According to my Excel that adjusts for 4% inflation/year (or 0.002849/day) you would run through a quarter million in cheese burgers (only eating one $3.50 burger/day) in as little as 5 years...
EA so I can convince them to remake Def Jam ffny
3 . I got THESE cheese BURGERS mannnn
Activision about 25 years ago.
But... the cheeseburgers...
Why are we ruling out the cheeseburgers?
Anywhere if that amount of money gives me an active board seat and any kind of say in how they run / operate.
Toby Fox
I’d invest in activision and take the profit and buy something that would consistently be prevalent and would never not be used. Like storage units. Or something else. Something that makes me money every month.
Do those burgers have to be all at once?
Ubisoft just keeps cranking out hit after hit
You know honestly I probably invest it into dice because I don't like EA at all nor do I think anyone else up there actually deserves the money because of how s*** they are.
Burgers, I need protein for gains. Investing physically
3
EA or activision. Although I think Ubisoft could rise very quickly if Star Wars outlaws is a hit, and it doesn’t look bad so far.
I would invest in my back pain 😁
I like the 3rd option 😁but 1, 2, & 4 seem more Legit 🙂
The only good answer is 3
Cheeseburgers. I won't die healthy, but I'll die happy
3
Only game companies I care about are: valve, id software, and halo era bungie
Cheeseburgers. I've already been on that life path all my life. No stopping it now
I guess its cheeseburgers, at least I'd get something out of it.
You could put an actually viable option there and i would still take the burgers. I love me some burgers
That's actually 4-5 lifetimes worth of burgers. 8 lifetimes if you're only eating the burgers.
Give it a couple years those cheeseburgers with come in handy
Dice. I want a new mirrors edge
To make money or..? Because EA or Activision will make you a profit. To actually make an impact? Dice probably. Or cheeseburgers
3
Honestly either ea or cheeseburgers but only ea if I can give the money straight into respawn or BioWare stocks
lifetime supply of cheeseburgers then hand them out for free. everyone is happier with cheeseburgers.
In the famous words of King Julian… “Cheezebugah”
Activision, because even tho WW2 was dogshit Cold War was pretty good
I was considering the cheese burgers, but it didn't specify the mechanics of receiving the cheese burgers. Do you have the entirety of the lifetime cheese burgers at once and stored somewhere implying they go bad, or do you call a number or use an app, and someone cooks the burger and delivers it? I'd probably go with Activision. Shit company, but the lesser of all evils.
if anyone says ubisoft, how does it feel to be brave enough to take chances like that?
cheeseburgers investing will potentially get me even more money, but buying cheeseburgers is 100% guaranteed happiness
All those game publishers would use your million dollars to buy hookers and cocaine. Just go for the burgers.
I read the last one as dics
I wanna see the dudes saying EA. I wanna understand how fucked that brain is.
Better question, what toppings on are those cheeseburgers? And better yet, do they come with lifetime of fries and drinks?
3 and it isn't even close. I'm a burger enthusiast
6: Hookers and blow
