Don't worry, I've done some calculations and from my scientific discovery that if MS can money hat COD and other franchises like Diablo, they'll manage to make them all less enjoyable and the quality will be very much that of Phil's favorite number: 6/10.
Good question... but if the CMA was such an impossible obstacle to overcome, would MS had spent any energy on the FTC trial? Would the CEO of a multi-trillion corporation go personally testify on a trial when all is lost? I don't know, I think GAF may be simplifying things when it comes to the CMA godly power.
Sony doesn't win. It's gamers. Even Xbox gamers are going to win because some bozo like Phil Spencer won't be in charge of any Activision games and ruin them. They just spent a week telling us all how absolutely awful they are at making games. Phil doesn't even believe in making great games.
Well that's been disproved already hasn't it? UK, EU, AUS, NZ and CAN have all had problems with the merger, just some (one I think) has accepted remedies to their concerns.
The guy is making a bet on game coming out in 2028. Who is gonna take it?
I heard this live and am amazed no journalists picked up on it and made it a headline.
Yeah and thats the thing... people come here and continues to support MS PR blatant lies and bullshit but in reality is all mouth ... if they had to put their ass on the line they wouldn't because they are not that stupid, just disingenuous, if there is one thing that all fans or not of Ms/xbox should take from this trial is that almost all that comes out of Phils Spencer mouth is/was bullshit
Weren’t you the one crying about ps fanboy twitter being posted?
It was on top of my twatter feed when I opened it today.
True. Everybody brushed that bombshell under the rug.
Pretty much confirms the binding contract with mojang similar to bungie/sony probablyTrue. Everybody brushed that bombshell under the rug.
Only no-name websites covered this, which went under the radar.
I genuinely thought it was real and started researching, because that could have been a bombshell. Until I saw your post. Thanks!Just had a look at that guys twitter and he's a wannabe options trader with replies full of florian Mueller and SenjutsuSage.
adamsapple why are you wasting people's time?
I have got that "joke".
Jimbo will defeat evil msjimbo the true champ even if the merger happens

I said it a few months ago, I assume everything that guy says is a lie and I have zero illusion how he built his Gaben 2.0 image: Astroturfing.
They 100% can, but weren't willing to spend money like that before, which feeds into the argument that they weren't fully invested into Xbox financially like Sony was. However, there came a point recently were MS said "fuck you, watch me buy some shit now" and instead of going for singular games they decided to go after publishers not only for the IP's, but also developer studios.
he really is the good guy , a gentle and kind soul
I think they even pay much less, because they dominate the market and sell way more games than Microsoft. Let's just say 3rd party games sell usually 70:30 then Sony only has to compensate for 30% of the games and Microsoft for 70%. So i think Sony gets those deals much cheaper.
I think Topher is smart enough to see that both Microsoft and Sony are master class bullshitters and lie to us day in and day out stabbing each other in the back constantly in hopes of winning their way into our wallets. So yeah, MS was obviously never the good guy but that doesn't mean I will ever "side" against them cause the grass is just as poisonous on the other side of the fence.Topher saw the light in internal emails
Here is the actual cat document on what those articles are about, no idea if it's been posted before but I'm thinking probably not yet.
Well, that is Microsoft's fault. The regulatory bodies who want to block this acquisition just need to push it past the deadline.
There's plenty of them that act willfully ignorant when it comes to that particular subject trying to obfuscate between PS paying for the exclusivity and the developer "not wanting" to ship on Xbox, which is pure BS.
Oh okay. I misread, as I was also reading the document in which the CAT says that it's already delayed quite a bit (hinting at the July 18 deadline).
I didn't say PS doesn't pay for exclusive, I said they pay for more exclusives than Xbox and what then people say when people point that out is willfully ignorant BS.
They had 400 and whatever pages of the cma's ruling to go through and create their appeal and counter evidence and expert evidence. During one of these cat hearings a cma lawyer said something like we need more than 4 weeks and the judge said you only gave microsoft 4 weeks and this is also your findings so you should be familiar with them. Microsoft probably would have liked more than 4 weeks but they had 4 and had to manage.
Now you're acting willfully ignorant. The amount of times I have read from PS folks the excuse that a game didn't ship on Xbox because it doesn't sell well, it has no audience, Xbox gamers don't play those games all at as legitimate reason why a game didn't ship on Xbox is where that BS originates as a sort of veil that is meant to make the exclusivity as acceptable and turn it almost into a non-exclusivity but shift it onto a developer decision.
It was just frustrating when the ps plus contract thing was leaked and everyone was saying how anti competitive it is that sony blocks these games from coming to gamepass, but didn't have two braincells to rub together to figure out why some games that are day one on xbox gamepass never come to ps plus or playstation at all. It's annoying and dishonest because I can't work out who's actually retarded and who's only pretending.
