Well here is something i didn't know until 6 minutes ago.
I have been trying to figure out just why bungie has been
tooth an nail fighting this rather than coming to the table.
I mean ok, they could be at the table right now and we would
not know it, but generally there would be a rising in stock
consolidation if there was talks or if anything was moving in
a positive way.
Well.....
I was reading on the activision implosion, i had said 6 to 8 weeks ago
at $84 Atvi was a short play, just didn't realize how good it was... anyway...
Activisions release of Diablo mobile is a big loss for them and the
gamers are lighting torches and sharpening the pitch forks... But does anyone know who "DEVELOPED" the game for Activision... No its not Bungie that contract ran out, remember? -
The new developing partner for activision is NETEASE - Now why is that important boys n girls?
Well if anyone remembers any of my prior posts I had said that Bungie had issues i thought with trying to explain to its NEW PARTNER/INVESTOR NETEASE what was happening in losing at the CAFC.
Yes Boys an Girls, Activsion fired Bungie. - Bungie needed a infusion of cash - Bungie signed with NETEASE for $110,000,000.00 million dollars - Activision needed a developer, Activision hired NETEASE who gave it to its NEW PARTNER Bungie to help develop...
So now, Activision is stell dealing with bungie but at a long arms length, NETEASE is now in the middle between ATVI an Bungie all while the actual IP is still being used.
Now here is where things get interesting
NETEASE wanted to use Bungie for a new game possibly "MATTER"
Bungie was aware for sure of the IP Issue - So the second largest gaming MFG in china NETEASE with obvious USA based assets is now part of the IP list of infrigers and now my bigger question.....
Id D2 (destiney 2) n Possibly D3 if they are based on the stolen IP even if the patents ran out, if we see any documentation of any type prior to the expiration of the patents that they Bungie internally thought about D2 or D3 can we by the same way look for royalties for games built upon the stolen IP as well?
BTW NETEASE is traded under NTES an asset in the US.
NETEASE is working as a cash in partner with bungie
ATVI is a cash in partner with..... wait for it.. NETEASE
NETEASE must be asking some questions now on the Diablo IP, The future now Destiny 2/3, and Activision must be saying how are you going to build :MATTER: the game on what prior IP base.
AND i will give you one better, NETEASE wanted into the US market so bad, ok, fine, but now id we can find where NETEASE IN CHINA... used stolen IP we can now go after them in the US not CHINA - and now that they have US Assets in the US that could be profitable as well.
BTW NETEASE has a book worth of approx $25 billion could go as high as 30 billion depending on the stock price being raised to buy could go from about $225 to $250 a share to $300..
Thoughts anyone?
And now........discuss...
