I mean, it's the very next line and he says that he might not agree with it personally but he will bow down to shareholders (and stacks of cash)

Against day 1 games on sub services.I'm not watching live but is it true that bobby said he is against gamepass?
As Jim Ryan said. 3rd party publishers do not like the "day 1 model" for big AAA games. Unless platform holders are willing to break the bank to do so.Against day 1 games on sub services.
Not against older titles on sub services.
I mean.. COD is on PS+ lol
CMA dropped console SLC so it is totally irrelevant.
If anything, those testimonies actually hurt CMA's case, because Jim Ryan and even Stadia guy told judge that they don't consider cloud gaming being separate market. Which is main anchor of CMA's block.
Wtf? They even have names for that?I know, I was fucking with you. Aren't they called Bronies or Bronys or fucking weirdos?
3 years old games don't matter reallyAgainst day 1 games on sub services.

Think we knew this already as he’d said in submissions that it cannibalises sales and devalues the product.I'm not watching live but is it true that bobby said he is against gamepass?

And 2+2 is in fact, 4.As Jim Ryan said. 3rd party publishers do not like the "day 1 model" for big AAA games. Unless platform holders are willing to break the bank to do so.
Agreed. But people dig their feet in and try and push back against the logistical facts. Mental gymnastics, confirmation bias for their choices, the brand™ can do no wrong, etc., etc..And 2+2 is in fact, 4.
Like I don't get why any of this stuff is a revelation.
One hundred percent. That's why I'm buying Starfield. On Steam.3 years old games don't matter really
Day 1 gamepass destroys sales like said in CMA documents

High fived phil spencer after saying he doesn't like mult-sub models but can change his mind, his severance package must be real good.

Bobby Kotick is your man? Says a lot about you.
With you? Doubt it. You really softened you stance on Bobby. We're not suprised, it was flagged at the acquisition announcement that Bobby would find supporters.__________

The court has pulled all its exhibits after the Sony redaction mess.
While we listen to Dr. Bailey’s testimony, a storm is unfolding elsewhere in the FTC v. Microsoft case. The court uploaded a document earlier from Sony that included confidential financial information that wasn’t properly redacted. Now all the documents have suddenly disappeared.
It looks like Sony redacted the documents with a pen and when you scan them in it’s easy to see the redactions. Reporters and Sony’s competition will have downloaded all the documents as they were in the public domain, so the damage is done
I joined the party late today; I got too engrossed into Final Fantasy 16 and lost time of track. Unlocked the 'From Stone to Sand' trophy, and that was ... just epicX amount of players on Gamepass is now a dead narrative and metric for success.
No matter what side of this argument you fall on, the cold stats revealed by Microsoft and then entire consortium of publishers demonstrate that GP player counts, are a clear obfuscation.
Some litigators are getting the axe.![]()

whelp that pen redaction job has had quick ramifications.
FTC Lawyer is showing Bailey didn't actually do any analysis of regional monopolies, did not take into account that GOW:R released 4 years after whereas COD is an annual release, did no analysis of other ABK games.Live footage from the court

But didn't Bobby hang around with Jim Ryan to discuss a deal if the ABK acquisition doesn't go through?Incorrect, I saw by my own eyes Bobby slapped Phil in the ass
Rule 1 for redactions. If doing them manually, copy the redacted document and submit the copy. Otherwise people can probably read what you redacted.![]()

ABK games isn't a synonym for Diablo 4. Diablo 3 and gen 8 games existed. Dr Lee did that analysis with gen 8 games throughout the gen.Yeah why didn't her May analysis include the game released in June? Bailey should stick to Irish Cream!
What about Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force which was rereleased on GOG in 2021?ABK games isn't a synonym for Diablo 4. Diablo 3 and gen 8 games existed. Dr Lee did that analysis with gen 8 games throughout the gen.

Same Economist as yesterday, Bailey or w/e for MSWho is talking right now and why is she so nervous? lol. She is so terrible. Who is she?
Oh okay. I had bailed by then. So she is the economist that represents Microsoft, right? Lee was FTC's witness.Same Economist as yesterday, Bailey or w/e
I'm not sure what you're saying here. I said that the FTC lawyer is trying to show she didn't do any analysis of other ABK games ie Diablo, overwatch etc. you tried to go to some gotcha as if I mentioned Diablo 4 specifically.What about Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force which was rereleased on GOG in 2021?
Or straight up print to pdf instead of saving it as one if doing (fill & sign) functionRule 1 for redactions. If doing them manually, copy the redacted document and submit the copy. Otherwise people can probably read what you redacted.
And then apparently high fived his corpse after?So Bobby Kotick under oath threw Microsoft under the bus![]()
He was trying to show bullshit that was cut off by the judge because analyses have scopes, and IIRC her Sony and Microsoft telemetry data started in October 2022. So anything earlier was outside the scope, as were some of his adjacent questions.I'm not sure what you're saying here.

I'm listening live where was he cut off? the only part was when the judge shut bailey up and told her to wait for the next questionHe was trying to show bullshit that was cut off by the judge because analyses have scopes, and IIRC her Sony and Microsoft telemetry data started in October 2022.

Not at all. All he did was testify to common sense stuff (for long time industry overserves).So Bobby Kotick under oath threw Microsoft under the bus![]()
This screams to me that if they win this court case, they are closing regardless of cma. And will deal with cma later.
His bigging up cloud gaming alot. Using him to prove cloud gaming will be big and viable.Strange they are bringing up Nvidia when they've since changed their stance after negotiations with Microsoft.
What's FTC's play here?
