When Microsoft knew the Metaverse was a source of income that would increase their appeal even more they knew acquiring was the most effective way to have an early place in the Metaverse. regardless of how they run the system and will soon get investors into their pockets investing their money. Microsoft has the greatest popularity and in terms of growing its economy, it is clear that Meta is the ideal place.
In a big way, since the launch of Facebook into Meta, Microsoft has signed a land contract in Metaverse with Facebook and allocated a large number of funds.

I don't think metaverse has anything to do with this acquisition
Games market is growing exponentially since 2000s, and Microsoft already has some market share with Xbox. They are just expanding it:

Games market is a giant by itself, and wow and call of duty are giants in this market
They arte probably focusing in their competitor, like Sony Playstation
I do t think this acquisition will have anything to do with cryptocurrency . Maybe they will have some apps for metaverse in future, UT not directly related to Activision products

I do think that if they are going to be aggressive about KYC and also about imposing impossible rules, then at the end of the day they will end up cutting down their own customers. Which will eventually make their whole concept not very successful. There is a lot of speculation regarding this metaverse thing, but I do think that making everything interconnected would eventually cause the company to have worse standards for every individual thing. Companies are very concerned about not being up-to-date with the new technologies that every company will try and have a token, but what would these tokens do ? I think tokens will be an unnecessary clutter.

In October last year, Mark Zuckerberg announced the company formerly known as Facebook Inc. would undergo a major rebranding and become Meta Platforms Inc. So my guess is that Microsoft are turning into the same direction with new income opportunities opening up with everything digital in the so-called Metaverse.
"Roblox" an online metaverse platform, has grown rapidly with 49.4 million daily active users, so these types of platforms are gaining a lot of attention lately, but it is going to be a gigantic effort to monetize them with Crypto currencies.
I hope the future of the Metaverse will be like the Movie... "Ready Player One"

There is an impression in the Linux community where everything that Microsoft touch dies like Yahoo and Skype. Will Activision die too?
Lol! Linux community is furious about Microsoft because Linux community believes in Open source system which Microsoft doesn't. But you must not forget that Microsoft is the dominant player in commercial software and OS business. 90% of the offices still use Microsoft products. So when it comes to business, Microsoft is the King. Quote
But with this Activision + Metaverse, I think this is going to be a good decision for them to develop. Activision has lots of games where gamers are actively playing and the Metaverse which we can consider to be the future. This might just be one of Microsoft's best investments and projects to develop and get successful with. Unless they become very aggressive again and deploy KYC in games. You think?
While all major tech companies are looking into metaverse and making themselves ready for web 3.0, Microsoft just don't want to stay behind. because if that is going to be the trend for the internet in future, Microsoft will eat their share out of it. Activision is a well know gaming studio and I don't think we have anyone in this forum who have never played "Call of Duty". It's interesting to see how the metaverse unfolds really. It can be very exciting or it can be miserable. So let's wait and watch! It's too early to comment on metaverse!

In my opinion, it is nothing more than a diversification of investments. Digital games have grown significantly over the past five years, and legislation is still limited for these games. New waves of Covid-19 may continue, forcing more people to stay at home longer or spend more time with children, and therefore games Entertainment will be a successful investment.
I don't know what is the strange link between it and Metaverse? But even if Microsoft does this, it is something that investors like because Metaverse has become an important sentence after Facebook used it as a term.

So Microsoft's implementation of the metaverse is World of Warcraft?

Blizzard makes computer games, Microsoft owns XboX. (and some other game studios) I don't think it s that complicated and I don't see metaverse anywhere in this picture. Microsoft may ignore Meta completely which is a different company and a different project. Not everything is about crypto/meta.

"Metaverse" doesn't automatically mean it's going to have a token though. Like with what Facebook is doing; I doubt they're going to have a token. Some companies think of Metaverse as sort of something like "interconnected everything"; but not necessarily something that has to do something with cryptocurrencies.

This is the most expensive acquisition of Microsoft since time and we can't help speculating how much the metaverse tokens will be when Mircrosoft finally launch thier own in the metaverse. There is an impression in the Linux community where everything that Microsoft touch dies like Yahoo and Skype. Will Activision die too?
