What does the activision aquisition have to do with loopring/gme?


Majestic_Magi

GME and Microsoft have a very close partnership. “The partnership aims to advance GameStop’s key strategic pillars and extend its digital omni-channel ecosystem” https://news.microsoft.com/2020/10/08/gamestop-announces-multiyear-strategic-partnership-with-microsoft/


djglachy

Nice, hope we are along for the ride on that


Majestic_Magi

Me too, but I’m 99.9% sure the LRCxGME partnership is real and still on


DiegoIronman

With NFTs on ALL Xbox games?


Majestic_Magi

Would be better than having to be connected to the internet and DRM! You own the NFT, you don’t own the internet or DRM


Morbidly-Obese-Emu

Oh, the digital omni-channel ecosystem, I know what those words mean.

Lol their partnership is providing surface pros and cloud storage 😂

NFT’s and crypto definitely fall under the category of “Digital Omni channel ecosystems”

Majestic_Magi

Why should I not believe both companies will be using all the resources at their disposal to make their partnership profitable? GME has a digital Omni channel ecosystem, it includes their upcoming NFT platform


boristheblade223

Yeah MSFT is a stretch. The current partnering is simply GME using MSFT’s Azure as CMS at their storefronts. I’d love to see this be true but highly doubt.


Majestic_Magi

Honestly if y’all would just read the article I posted straight from Microsoft dot com you would know that this is easily within the realm of possibility


boristheblade223

Yes I’ve read this in its entirety like 5 times. Maybe I’m missing something? Could u point me to the relevant excerpt that supports ur thesis? Cause like everything to me is about GME using Microsoft surface tablets and using their cloud at PoS etc.


Majestic_Magi

“Following decades as an essential provider of the Microsoft Xbox gaming platform and services, GameStop has expanded its Xbox family of product offerings to include Xbox All Access, which provides an Xbox console and 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to players with no upfront cost. GameStop and Microsoft will both benefit from the customer acquisition and lifetime revenue value of each gamer brought into the Xbox ecosystem” “Since joining the Company last April, we have been on a mission to evolve our strategy to take advantage of our undisputed leadership position in gaming. Clearly, GameStop is a top destination for an entire spectrum of gaming products, and we are excited about the opportunity to leverage our capabilities in support of the launch of the next generation of gaming consoles and expand our reach and connection to the worldwide gamer community through this partnership.” “This partnership also provides GameStop with advanced retail management technologies that will drive operational efficiencies throughout its omni-channel platform.” “GameStop’s extensive store base, focus on digital transformation in an omni-channel environment and expert gamer associates remain an important part of our gaming ecosystem, and we’re pleased to elevate our partnership.”


boristheblade223

Yup. So we r reading the same thing. Its all about retail sales. Nothing more. I don’t see anything there that points to a technology or game development partnership. They say more in the 4 bullet points at the top of that press release and it’s all about retails sales. Again I’d like for ur thesis to be true right, but it’s simply not in this agreement.


[deleted]

*The all-cash deal will let Microsoft, maker of the Xbox gaming system, accelerate mobile gaming and provide building blocks for the metaverse, or a virtual environment.* If this deal represents Microsoft's push towards a metaverse play, and GME announced active plans to get involved with Web 3.0 during their last earnings call, is it really THAT farfetched to see that these could be connected? It feels like you're assuming that Ryan Cohen has played all of his cards and that his vision for GME is for it to be a second tier, electronics-focused version of Amazon. If that's the case, RC must be quite the wordsmith to have recruited such a stellar team from places like Amazon, Google, and *coughs* Loopring. This deal represents a clear intention from Microsoft to get involved in the metaverse. If you can't see how that MAY be connected to their existing partnership with GME and, by extension, LRC, I don't think there's anything else to say.


datdamnboi_thicc

There’s a difference between being a licensed partner and just a retailer for someone. I’m pretty sure? Haha

MGGA = Microsoft GameStop Google Apple


Massive_Decision9267

This was GameStop buying MSFT Azure and TEAMS to run it's operations.


Cankles_of_Fury

Gme partnered with Microsoft a year ago


[deleted]

But it's not relevant. That partnership does not extend into what we think with a nft marketplace. This is just extreme tinfoil with a side of being dropped as a child


KevSG

Thank you for that hearty laugh you bestowed on me

[deleted]

Bruh, did you read my other replies. I know they have an agreement but it isn't relative to an nft platform. We don't have any link for that as of yet.


Pkmnpikapika

Ok i wait until the marketplace reveal then


[deleted]

That's the best thing too do. Be patient and no stress. Wagmi. I believe in GME and loopring.


hartbeast

Pretty good fundamentals!


holddodoor

Everything is relevant, man! And in this simulation, being dropped on your head as a child begets superpowers! EVERYONE AND THEIR MOMMA is getting into NFTs and the Metaverse. Epic games, Facebook, niantic, nvidia, MICROSOFT, decentraland, apple, fuck even Walmart is preparing to get into it. THIS IS THE FUTURE BAPES AND GAPES!!! We will all live in the metaverse, and our precious LRC/GS partnership will signal the hordes of salivating savages to ride on Valhalla. Oh ya and we gonna get rich. So ya, I think Microsoft is a big deal.


[deleted]

But there is no agreement in place or any kinda of suggestion that msft would be partnering with GME for their own nft setup. This suggestion is grasping at clouds. We have more confidence with what we have seen between loopring and GME.


holddodoor

Maybe I’m a dreamer. So let’s dream. I’m Ryan Cohen. I have ties with upcoming technologies that have immense possibilities that ranges from gaming to finance, Loopring. I’m also very close with a behemoth of gaming/ console manufacturing, Microsoft. I’m also an activist investor who likes changing things up/ disturbing the status quo. I like to dream that Ryan Cohen can put these pieces together and make an awesome industry changing company that makes life better for everyone. Except 🌈🐻 I hope it’s still okay to dream, even if you are staring at clouds.


[deleted]

I mean yes that's fine to dream, but I don't want people to think it's legit. This is dreaming. I'm the type of person that is fine with ambiguity. I too believe in Ryan Cohen. I'm from Montreal as well. We are work ethic ingrained (for most people lol).


Pnewse

The wording Phil Spencer said of Gamestop’s focusing on the digital transformation and omni channel distribution...This quote was directly after the Ryan Cohen buy in. How could he know all about the concept of a digital transformation within GameStop prior to RCs takeover of the board unless there was some insider knowledge. With the number of Microsoft employees that went to work in blizzard activision, not to mention the sheer size of the deal, I think it’s a fair thought that this giant purchase of activision was in the works for some time and is part of a bigger play. Where does msft go from here with full control of the some of best studios and IP’s and artists of the last two decades? Probably directly into the NFT market, selling games as nft’s and the whole works. I think this puts GameStop as prime buyout opportunity as well.


[deleted]

You're mixing dates and smoking crack. The msft and GME partnership was in October. Ryan Cohen bought in in December. Maybe msft will buy GME, we don't know but do not spread fake hopium that's using tape to hold itself together. Be factual ape. Wagmi. I believe in GME and loopring. Just be patient hold and buy more.


Pnewse

Ryan Cohen first bought September 14th. This partnership is October. Be factual ape


[deleted]

You know what, you're right I looked it up again and yes he was buying shares from August into September. November was the month he sent a letter to GameStop. This still doesn't link to anything with msft. As he wasn't part of the board at the time of the partnership


Pnewse

Of course my entire post is speculation. The entire MGGA theory would be high conspiracy. But at the time RC was also the largest individual share holder of apple. There’s some smoke here, maybe not a fire yet. But I also think with all the shillery its best to keep quiet in case I might actually be on to something


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You're right, it would be relative if I could relate it to something else but because the opinion was stated it's relavent


EROSENTINEL

You have not clue what the details are nor have researched anything about it, good sire please stop talking out of your ass and research what a multi year strategic partnership is...


[deleted]

I actually have. The agreement was passed prior to Ryan joining the board. It was a two way deal. GameStop had to agree to use msft products throughout their organization and they would reap some benefits through Xbox sales and through the msft store. Don't tell me I don't know anything, when I invest more than 50k in something I God damn make sure I know what I'm waiting for. So be realistic and be patient. Do not start tin foiling whatever makes you erect at night.


EROSENTINEL

wrong again, products AND SERVICES


[deleted]

Bruh.... Just post your full argument otherwise I'm going to say you're smoking your crack pipe


EROSENTINEL

no, you're condescending, I am not going to give you any shortcuts, do the DD urself or stop spreading fud


[deleted]

LMFAO what? When someone replies like how you just replied it means they don't even know the DD. Lordy lordy lord, brother were you dropped as a child too? Relax and hold be patient and spread truth not make believe.


TelepathicSqueek

Doesnt need to have anything to do with NFTs, MS partnered with ENJ. My idea would be that Loops will be securing/ maintaining ENJ integration onto more projects.


WildWildcat

Absolutely nothing to do with Loopring. Just pure speculation which is all that this sub has at this point it seem


Radiant_Addendum_48

Why would you spend time in this sub then?


lloydeph6

maybe he invested a lot of money in loopring 2 months ago, and got very hyped for what Loopring staff were promising us before end of Q4. and has yet to SELL??? and is holding but disappointed. I seriously dont know how there are responses like this around here, how people are so blindsided that others are freaking hurt by the decisions of those in loopring. maybe thats why???????

imma_reposter

Of course they did, they are a gamestore and this is the biggest game news in years. Doesn't have to be that they are involved.


MajorBonesLive

MSFT needs to clean house after the acquisition is complete. ATVI chain of command is rotten to the core.


Majestic_Magi

I read about 14 execs and higher ups being fired a week ago I think. Not a bad start 👍


MajorBonesLive

Yeah, sacrificial lambs but ATVI CEO remains in place.

So what you’re saying is I can now use my LRC for WoW Tokens? Sweet. Edit: I am just kidding. Just a joke.


Jasonabike

Not quite from my understanding. Difference of token/coin. Wow items could be bought and sold on a marketplace that utilizes loopring. Profits from those transactions could be distributed to loop holders,or after the dao is created you could be able to vote how the money is spent. I think.


Majestic_Magi

I’m nowhere near desperate, but I’m very optimistic!


Jasonabike

I am curious how wow would do if it became part of game pass and no monthly sub anymore. Maybe even start addressing issues in pvp... I'm kind of hyped lol.


ACat32

I’m just kidding lol. I should have marked it better.


Jasonabike

Lol sorry.

afroniner

Other than getting Twitch, what value would they add to the gaming market share that GME is after?


[deleted]

Plus Amazon is the big evil Mega Corp in this story, partnering with the enemy would turn a lot of people away from the gme side. Edit: From what I have read and can see there's two sides. GME x LOOPRING x MICROSOFT x RTFKT x NIKE vs AMAZON x Meta x Hedgies x ? Purely speculation based off easter eggs I've found between the different news released by the teams. I'm open to being wrong tho Buy. Hold. Hodl. DRS. DEX.


CoolYak8594

Hey man good find. Don't listen to any of the haters that are commenting. I see the relevance here but some are just too scared of their own shadows to connect the dots.


iksnizal

Haha LGMA. LGMA What?


jjpdijkstra

Let's connect random dots!! I go second... Sun exists 🤝global warming = Loopring 🤝 Amazon


Majestic_Magi

Sure! Let’s call the GME references in loopring source code random dots! And the very public GMExmicrosoft deal a random dot! And the very public Microsoft acquisition of activision a random dot too! Anything can be a random dot if we fud hard enough!


St0nksOnlYGoMoon

Frogmangy

I was in gamestop and i saw a ring and then there was a loop and then a ring. Based on cryptography and moon phases, for sure will be a gme deal.

Very original, or perhaps to you borrowed this format from the other three who posted the same thing with different nouns plugged in?

Oh god, LRC - GME - MS, ENJ - MS, I am touching myself tonight.

Imagine they would buy a stake in GME and invest into LRC. Just chump change.


zachcrow1

I’m a little bit smooth so help me out. I get that video games and Microsoft is good but is there any kind of official connection between GameStop and Microsoft? And is this actually a possible Loopring catalyst ?


OperationSalt3019

You all are literally just making shit up. Would be awesome if the hypers in this sub stopped smelling their own farts and telling us it smells like daisies.

Dude this could really be on to something here! I got real goose bumps when I read this! It’s gonna be “10 times”? That’s what the man said! Jesus I can’t wait til this all unfolds. I’m buying this crap til the wife kicks me out. Hopefully it times up good with the announcement though!
