Microsoft is now running adverts for its $68.7bn Activision Blizzard acquisition on the London tube network.
Digital advertising branded with Xbox and Microsoft logos have been spotted with the following message:"Call of Duty. For 150 million more players.", the advert comes a month after Microsoft previously published full-page adverts in the UK's Financial Times and Daily Mail with the same phrasing, and a claim Microsoft's bid to"unite Activision Blizzard and Xbox" would deliver"more games, for more players on more platforms".
So, where does that"150 million" people claim come from? It's a number we've heard before - back in Brussels, when Microsoft president Brad Smith used it to refer to the 150m more devices he claimed would gain access to Call of Duty, due to Microsoft's twin announcements that it would work with Nintendo and Nvidia to release COD on their platforms.
At the time,"150 million" appeared to be a rough figure for the total number of Nintendo Switch consoles sold worldwide to date, added to the number of Nvidia GeForce Now streaming subscriptions. But this does not take into account how many Switch owners/Nvidia subscribers may/may not actually be interested in playing Call of Duty, or indeed whether a new Call of Duty might actually still launch on Nintendo's existing Switch hardware.
Microsoft is now running digital ads for its Activision Blizzard acquisition at some London tube stations. It comes a month after placing full-page ads in two UK newspapers, and ahead of the CMA’s decision on the deal later this month
Hopefully they can buy their way to releasing good games on a regular basis. Because it sure as hell ain’t happening yet.
Of*
Waste or advertisement
They're getting everyone whos going to get upset in this thread used to it. You're about half way through the 5 stages now.
I didn't hear about said deal going through though
Oh good, so they can be done for false advertising too if the deal falls through...
The desperation is wild
Sweeeet
Say the right things when electioneering
What’s “the tube”? YouTube? Spoilers: This is a facetious comment.
1) Gross 2) It's not like there's going to be a vote in Parliament, so what the hell?
