It\u2019s pretty normal to see companies who refuse to work with others whom they feel are their competitors or whoever is I charge just doesn\u2019t see a positive return in forging any kind of partnership. This got me to think as today Microsoft announced that they have reached a ten year agreement to provide Call of Duty games for Nintendo systems along with its own XBOX system.<\/p>\n
Microsoft recently took over the company Activision Blizzard which has an enormous amount if popular game franchises. However, Nintendo is often shunned for more mature titles like these. So when the announcement came it surprised a lot of people as they never expected the company to do such a thing. It shows you how fast things can change when the leadership and management of a company is replaced.<\/p>\n
Now imagine if a company such as Nintendo kept bad mouthing the franchise initially with the thought of you are never going to get it anyways per se so you may as well trash it to promote a comparable product within your ecosystem. That would have looked silly if we look at what happened today. Then again, that could have stopped it from happening too.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an interesting example where trying to remain neutral even if you dislike another can be wise if it so happens that the company gets bought out as an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
