Microsoft Acquiring Activision: Is This Bad News?

-
Microsoft agreed to buy the video game maker Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, its largest takeover ever and a big bet on the metaverse. 

As it is, you get to play Diablo on games pass, overwatch, call of duty and star craft.

If you're a lover of Sony, you should be very worried about this.

The implication of this huge takeover is simple, Sony might sell more video game consoles than Microsoft except that Sony's market cap is around 5% of Microsoft's. So fix that. Are we talking about a future acquisition of Sony and a future monopoly? You get it. 

By the time Microsoft controls the gaming Metaverse, everyone's locked up by their terms.

However, with what Microsoft did with Minecraft, it could be real fun and gamers can have a better experience. Gaming is for the highest bidder.

Some believe Microsoft were losing money at $15 a month before spending 70 billion, fearing that prices will go up, even though they don't have the data to support this claim. 

Majority agree that an affordable gaming options to families around the world is a better deal that comes with the acquisition.

Microsoft says the Activision Blizzard deal is expected to close in FY2023. This is the period between July 2022 and June 2023. 

Until then, Activision Blizzard will continue to operate as it currently is, and then report to Phil Spencer after close.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per

CHILD MARRIAGE: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY "GRANPA"-THE WISH OF THE GODS?

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin
