Booty's email is about first party IP, not about CoD.






Y'all keep changing the parameters and then say I'm floundering

If any of them were honest, they would apologize to you.


When I said that the words of a "gamer" lawyer always exaggerate to make the test bigger... This is the example.

 

[Ronin_7]

Booty got destroyed live LMAO

Dude wasn't ready, these guys live in Court houses, the Xbox heads are just regular people ffs.

Absolute bloodbath bootyBath

 

[Banjo64]

Jim can change his stance all he wants, he acknowledged publicly that he expects CoD to be on PS platforms for years.

The same thing Phil/MS said.

Well, no, he didn’t acknowledge it publicly. I believe this was a private work email.

And now he’s changed his stance, just like M$ allegedly have.

I’m glad you could come around.

If MS buys ABK then COD becomes first party.

 

[Pelta88]

Anyone live streaming this? I can't get into the zoom and want to absorb the info for myself?

 

[feynoob]

Is no one reading this?

 

[Gone]

Now that might be a smoking gun. That is not a please don't panic email from someone who isn't trying to buy the IP. He can say its their old strategy all day long, but fact is they followed it and will continue following it in 3 months.

Well, they put Gears and others are coming to Nvidia GFN.

How was that public??

 

[adamsapple]

Yes.

lol....no it doesn't. That's hilarious

I mean I gave you examples, but ok.

I'm not sure but it feels like your thinking that if the deal gets approved MS will yank all those games from PS+ the week after.

How was that public??

* to PS employees, not public.

Man this drama

It's what happens when a company is so rife with nepotism and keeping their friends around far too long past their usefulness, while they rely mainly on 18 month contractors for the actual production end.

But hey, they have a fantastic productivity service gift. I can't knock that.

They have the best fans too.

And I mean that sincerely. Look at all the shit they've stuck by them through.

 

[Dick Jones]

I am not making it up.

When is it okay for a lawyer to lie?

Everyone knows that lawyers are not allowed to lie — to clients, courts or third parties. But once you get beyond deliberate false statements, the scope of the obligations to truth and integrity become less clear. What about reckless and negligent statements that are false? What about misleading...

You cannot lie in court. You can be vague and make a statement that can be true from a certain light but you cannot lie. Stop derailing with fucking nonsense

The answer is in the number of 1P Xbox games that have come to PS subs in the interim.

The wolfenstein games, Fallout, Prey, Doom etc are all currently on PS Plus sub services.

And the Halo games are on Xbox, the ones that PlayStation subsidiary Bungie made,

The way a select few have been going so hard in the paint eat crow ass the past 24-48 hours, they sure show what they think of them in their "thought experiment."

I think the term is, "useful idiots."

Break time. Very entertaining so far. 10/10

I'm wondering who is getting roasted more today, Matt "officially worse than Aaron Greenberg" Booty or our own liar adamsapple

Edit: that should have said lawyer, damn autocorrect

 

[Topher]

I mean I gave you examples, but ok.

I'm not sure but it feels like your thinking that if the deal gets approved MS will yank all those games from PS+ the week after.

Your examples are not proof about MS strategy. Putting those games on PS+ could be part of that strategy for all you know. If that's your theory then fine, but don't call it proof. It isn't.

I have no idea what will happen post-acquisition. That's irrelevant.

 

[Thirty7ven]

If you lost the console war then why are you still in it and why are you producing and signing console exclusives?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Well, they put Gears and others are coming to Nvidia GFN.

GFN doesn't sell games. You are still routed to the storefronts that do.

2019 "No f-ing way we'll put games on rival services"
2022 : nearly 10 or more games are on rival services

it's not really a theory when there is demonstrable change in effect, but I understand if you don't want to see it that way.

 

[solidus12]

I think adamsapple should be held accountable if the deal fails.

 

[Calverz]

Yanking games the month after acquisition. Interesting. March 2021. Also interesting.

 

[Gone]

GFN doesn't sell games. You are still routed to the storefronts that do.

That's not the point tho.
They have put the games on GFN and they'll add more and more in the coming months. Also, CoD is guaranteed to be there because of the binding contract they signed.

 

[Elios83]

Who's the next one who will get roasted?
Can't we call Lulu?

 

[Alebrije]

If you lost the console war then why are you still in it and why are you producing and signing console exclusives?

Because revenue is more important than console war and all the 3 companies are very profitable no matter the place...

 

[Kilau]

Spit roasted.

 

[jm89]

What the fuck where they thinking send booty up there?

Dude got slaughtered.

Bond and hines are up i think aswell.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It is the point tho. MS still controls all the revenue and profits from the games.

 

[adamsapple]

I think adamsapple should be held accountable if the deal fails.

As long as you also hold Bungie accountable for Halo: Infinite's botched launched going by your logic

 

[Topher]

That's not the point tho.

That deal also stipulates that Microsoft can back out of it or change the deal. That was revealed earlier today. Not worth the paper it is written on, frankly.

 

[Darsxx82]

If you lost the console war then why are you still in it and why are you producing and signing console exclusives?

LOL. Because recognizing that you are going to be third in the console war is not incompatible with wanting to sell as many consoles as possible and achieve the maximum possible benefits?

 

[feynoob]

What the fuck where they thinking send booty up there?

Dude got slaughtered.

Bond and hines are up i think aswell.

He is called booty, what did you expect?

 

[Dick Jones]

It's not like the day after acquisition they came into a developer's studio and told them to cancel a competitor's port.

Give them credit, they changed

 

[GHG]

Spit roasted.

And this.

 

[Gone]

It is the point tho. MS still controls all the revenue and profits from the games.

And Nvidia signed that knowing this and they're backing the deal.

 

[Elios83]

Yes, it is a theory. Because in 2022 MS began its efforts to acquire ABK and being the good guy and doing shit like this fits perfectly with that strategy.

And yes, my take is a theory too. Neither are proof. You are the only one claiming it is and it simply isn't.

 

[feynoob]

Not american, should I google it?

Don't.
You will be mentally scared.

If it means failure of the gaas initiative for Sony, Fine.

 

[Dane]

GFN doesn't sell games. You are still routed to the storefronts that do.

They were hosting the games without the developer's permission, its not a remote play that would mirror the owner's PC and let it run installed games. Other developers and Sony also made complaints and ordered to remove the content

 

[DeepEnigma]

And Nvidia signed that knowing this and they're backing the deal.

Because it's a net neutral for them It's still not worth the paper it's written on and can be used as any type of "good guy" move.

They were hosting the games without the developer's permission, its not a remote play that would mirror the owner's PC and let it run installed games.

Irrelevant to the conversation.
