Third, Microsoft argues that demand for multi-game subscription services would not tip towards Game Pass because Microsoft would also make Game Pass available on PlayStation (Microsoft, para.1.3(g)). But the wider availability of the leading provider (Game Pass), now endowed with exclusive irreplaceable content, and protected by direct and indirect network effects, would makes it harder - not easier - for rival multi-game subscription services to compete. Microsoft's stance that Game Pass availability on PlayStation would be a panacea for the harm from this Transaction rings particularly hollow given that Microsoft does not permit PlayStation Plus to be available on Xbox.

This is CMA talking. Sony hasnt offered anything to MS.

CMA is saying that MS doesnt have PS+ on their system(Duh). What CMA doesnt understand, is that Xbox has Xbox live gold, which does the same thing as PS+.

This is CMA error.

People dont seem to understand anything, and jump in to conclusion.

I could've sworn I've read this before.

You did. It got moved to OT topic of this purchase.

 

[CobraAB]

Well, is GamePass on Playstation 5?

 

[ReBurn]

I wonder if this one will be merged into the acquisition thread, too?

 

[AJUMP23]

Passive Aggressive Thumbs up right here.

 

[Clintizzle]

I don't think Sony would want Playstation Plus on Xbox.

I didn't think Sony would want to be on PC either tho.....

It is. I was just playing crash bandicoot. We should tell that dad that was going to buy a series s for his kid that he doesn't have to now

Fuck it. MS and Sony along with AMD colab on one box and release their games on it. Problem solved.

For the players

What does PS+ offer besides online multiplayer and mostly old games?

Good idea, I welcome the era of $179 games and super gamepass at $99 per month. Plus $1200 consoles.

Don't you get it? You pay Sony for the privilege to play multiplayer on xbox. It's genius

 

[The Tourmaline Gorilla]

This has already been tossed out as an unsabstantiated rumor. Sony have not actually made any such offer to MS.

Please stop spreading false info as facts.

They’ve offered it to xbox? That’s crazy

Not at all. It's not even an unsubstantiated rumor.

It's literally someone twising a few words in the cma docs to make it seem so.

Anyone can figure out they would try to find a way to make PS+ (extra or premium) work on PC before they offered it to Xbox. Even if they made it work on a browser, it would work on Xbox.

It's all horseshit. (And been discussed in the other thread that was made that got folded into the giant ass merger ot.)

 

[pasterpl]

Made up news. We already had couple of threads about exactly this.

 

[Esppiral]

Are you telling me Sony is ok with their first party on Xbox? Doubt.gif

Considering they blocked Gow 2018 from geforcenow because ppl were playing it on Xbox really says it all.

But let's go on pretending.

What a anti-consumer move. I'm shocked.
