Sony wanted all of what? Cloud?
Meant to answer you Topher, Sony wanted all the profits margarine they didn't want to partner with anyone. Back then they had Sony films (still do), Sony Tv's (still do), Sony music (not a big factor anymore) and Sony Phones. Sony didn't want to Partner with say Samsung to get PS now on the then emerging Smart TV's. They didn't want to work with Google or Amazon. They didn't try to increase their phone market share by using PS Now. Sony stayed where it was safe (the console market.) Now was this a bad thing no, could they have done better yea! I meant to answer your post.

Ok. So what does it matter? This isn’t about Sony.

This part is worse



But there is something BIG going on on this thread that no one noticed
It's really big
Its not that big. Because the biggest obstacle right now is the cloud market.
MS has to show a reason why CMA decision is wrong. And that is hard for them, due to having Azure and Xcloud having gamepass as its backing.

It explains why they hired that lawyer.

Nothing about that it's something in this thread
What is it? I am confused.
Unless you mean the people here that keep talking about MS smacking CMA points. Then those people have no clue. Same with that lobby guy from twitter.

CMA hit MS where it hurts the most, and made any attemp to fight it hard(not impossible though, You could say 1%-3% chance of success).

Ok why was it that MS was able to partner with companies that don't like Microsoft to make Cloud gaming work? Obvious answer is money and power. Why couldn't Sony use its dominance in the console market to do the same? This merger wouldn't be a discussion if Sony had done this, instead we're discussing fairness in a market they should have already entered say about 3 years ago.

The way these people do fo this deal is so bizarre
The obsession is so creepy
I don't know what's going on
Is the Xbox division fate depending on this deal to go through
To be fair, i would be the biggest shill known to man if MS paid me 200$ per hour too.

This is the link to his post:

A few posts after that you can still see the original post cause people have quoted him.
