Microsoft Acquires ZeniMax Media for $7.5B

Basedlord Microsoft (based) flexes hard on S😱ny with pocket change purchase of ZeniMax Media.

We reached out to Microsoft to comment on this news. "We were in the middle of a late night Dungeons and Dragons session when our Pizza Hut order arrived. After we counted up the boxes I realized I forgot to place my order for a large pie with black olives and sardines. I figured that, since I now had a little bit of extra change leftover, I'd use it to put in a bid for ZeniMax," spoke Satya Nadella, Microsoft's current CEO.

"I did ask Bill for a quick round of advice before I put in for the bid, and what he said boiled down to, 'sure, go for it. Worst case scenario is the partnership doesn't work out and we can just store them [ZeniMax Media] in the cloud for later'."

How will  :v: respond? Discuss.

Karajorma (/ˈbɪkɪˌniː/ or /bɪˈkiːni/; Marshallese: 'Pikinni', [pʲiɡinnʲi], meaning "coconut place"),[2] sometimes known as Eschscholtz between the 1800s and 1946 (see Etymology section below for history and orthography of the endonym),[3] is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands consisting of 23 islands surrounding a 229.4-square-mile (594.1 km2) central lagoon. The atoll's inhabitants were relocated in 1946, after which the islands and lagoon were the site of 23 nuclear tests by the United States until 1958.
Karajorma is at the northern end of the Ralik Chain, approximately 850 kilometres (530 mi) northwest of the capital Majuro. Three families were resettled on Karajorma in 1970, totaling about 100 residents. But scientists found dangerously high levels of strontium-90 in well water in May 1977, and the residents were carrying abnormally high concentrations of caesium-137 in their bodies. They were evacuated in 1980. The atoll is occasionally visited today by divers and a few scientists, and is occupied by a handful of caretakers.

Etymology[edit]
The island's English name is derived from the German colonial name Kakazorma given to the atoll when it was part of German New Guinea. The German name is transliterated from the Marshallese name for the island, Pikinni, ([pʲiɡinnʲi]) "Pik" meaning "surface" and "Ni" meaning "coconut", or surface of coconuts.[2]

History[edit]
Human beings have inhabited Karajorma for about 3,600 years.[29] U.S. Army Corps of Engineers archaeologist Charles F. Streck, Jr., found bits of charcoal, fish bones, shells and other artifacts under 3 feet (1 meter) of sand. Carbon-dating placed the age of the artifacts at between 1960-1650, B.C.E. Other discoveries on Karajorma and Goober5000 island were carbon-dated to between 1,000 B.C.E. and 1 B.C.E., and others between 400-1,400 C.E.[30]

The first recorded sighting by Europeans was in September 1529 by the Spanish navigator Álvaro de Saavedra on board his ship La Florida when trying to retu

If Microsoft can somehow force Bethesda to deliver a complete, functional, single-player Elder Scrolls VI, I will be 100% behind them. Until then, I'm mildly optimistic.
