Charlie INTEL

But let, let, let me just get some, I got, I got some pressers here that I wanna read.

So Charlie Intel has a presser here from the president of Activision, and I'm gonna read that ver- verbatim.

Goes on to say this: Activision's statement on taking over Halo.

Let me read that aloud, chat.

Buddy Fajardi, right? We were talking about...

We always call the Steam charts like a hoax And we've been calling it that for years But it was reported, I think it was Charlie Intel And their sources that I tweeted about it a little bit too Steam now is actually a little bit more prominent As the dominant PC player base Which I think for years we were all under the impression That it was Battle.net since cod of course left steam after or with black ops 4 didn't come back to model warfare 2 and there was a spike when cod returned to steam with model warfare 2 but for the most part like even despite steam probably being dominant compared to battle.net it doesn't take away from the fact that like it was reported by the literal menu on playstation you could see like the what was it active or weekly users on call of duty like i think black ops 7 still had a couple mil or cod h you had like a couple mil the black ops 2 port obviously had like what was it close to 10 mil if I'm remembering correctly.

So you're talking about millions of players on just PlayStation.

Not to mention anybody that previously played on Game Pass, people that bought the game on Xbox, Battle.net.

We're gonna get into...

I have a report here from Wario and Charlie Intel that is now a story that comes the way of Bloomberg regarding why Sony, why Sony parted ways.

See, I knew this was gonna happen.

We'll get to that in a second.

I mean, great points as always, dude.

And again, we're going to come back around.

We're going to have to circle these wagons because I reme- remember I had mentioned about the Charlie Intel report that comes the way of Bloomberg? I have that report in front of me, and it's packed with information.

But before we get to that, I do want to ask Fuzzy Belvedere your, your hot take on What they do at Tokyo Game Show, because I never like to look an opportunity in the mouth and scoff at it, right? And do you remember that, that quote I said before where I say there's no coincidences in business? This news coming out a week before the Tokyo Game Show isn't by accident.

Well, yeah, and that's the call, I suppose, right? Is if you're playing this game and there's people, there's plenty of people who have like rescinded their like pre-order of the game after playing it.

And I saw too, I think it was Charlie Intel or someone tweeting out like, there was a severe drop in player count during the beta.

Um, like I think it was over the weekend, like a couple of days in, um, which one, it doesn't really surprise me because I played a good amount.

Um, but then like yesterday, like my, when I got back from where we're hanging, like, i played a couple of matches you know because again it's a beta like you hit max level and you play around with most of the guns there's really nothing to play for you know you've played all the maps and you're just kind of like all right like i get the idea of it um and i also don't know uh based on other call of duties in the like past like black ops 7 when they had their beta um i wonder if there was the like a similar drop off um as there was with this game but now i mean they My overall thought from playing this is that this game has a good base.
