    Xbox [TweakTown]: FTC calls Xbox Game Pass Standard tier a 'degraded product,' alleges harm to consumers

    FYI for those unaware, The court case under the compromised Judge was for the injunction. It is currently on appeal to a set of 3 different Judges. The FTC can still pursue the actual merger case regardless of if the parties have joined. Any verdict later on will require the parties to divest...

    PC Gaming giant Steam accused of ripping off 14m UK gamers

    Sure buts its lower in the ranks. Nintendo if it counted 100% digital and physical revenue, should be somewhere closer to $10B. PS with 100% physical should be closer to $20B.

    PC Gaming giant Steam accused of ripping off 14m UK gamers

    And $20B of that PC revenue is China and SK, something Valve and Western/JP pubs have small marketshare in.

    Rumor Rumour: Microsoft is preparing an offer of $16B for Valve

    Discussion all of this headache because of Steam users will only push Sony to release their games exclusevly on their upcoming launcher

    You guys do understand that Valve is controlled by Gabe (last known to have 50%+ of shares) and that Gabe is not going to be there forever. Valve going public or being bought out will depend on future management. There's simply no guarantee.

    Discussion Its almost been 4 years since Ghost of Tsushima and Last of Us Part 2 released

    Wrong. TLOU P2 has some of the best legs out of all PS titles now. It sold the most digital units in that period only behind Ragnorak which was a new release. TLOU P2 sales should be 16M+ now. Remember that table is just digital units, does not include physical. TLOU in 1.5 years already...

    I provided 3 clear current admin cases, where 4-5 firms control the majority of the US market, just like Hollywood, and trying to reduce that number to 4 or 3 were blocked by US courts. Your response: feelings. lol Yes, you've made your misguided opinions clear. Too bad you don't get to...

    Already told you: Read about Penguin/SS Read about JetBlue/Spirit Read about AA/JetBlue Gaming is nowhere near as concentrated as Hollywood. The Judge for the MSFT case had a son working for MSFT. Appeal courts have already heard the FTC appeal and we're waiting on a decision. Impossible...

    Sony Pictures reportedly in talks to buy Paramount. |UP|Sony Makes $26 Billion All-Cash Offer for Paramount.

    You're out of your depth here. Disney/Fox did not go to courts. And thats not how legal precedent works, especially in anti-trust. A District Court precedent is only there in that district. An appeal precedent is only there in that circuit. There are 94 districts and 12 Ciruits. There are...

    Sony Pictures reportedly in talks to buy Paramount. |UP|Sony Makes $26 Billion All-Cash Offer for Paramount.

    Also the mental gymnastics one has to do to justify pouring something like $10B into: Paramount Plus which lost $1.8B a year Paramout Studios which lost $0.2B a year and get at best 25% stake of a declining TV buisness All so Sony can prop Sony Pictures, a segment that makes a measly $0.8B in...

    2019 FTC was under Republican Donald Trump, very pro-monopoly. 2020 onwards was Democrat Joe Biden who placed Lina Khan in charger of the FTC and made an executive order to push anti-trust. Its the biggest change in US anti-trust for the past 40 years. 2020-2023 the FTC have gone after 28...

    Sony Pictures reportedly in talks to buy Paramount. |UP|Sony Makes $26 Billion All-Cash Offer for Paramount.

    Spiltting an already declining asset is just a fools errand in extracting value. Truly a desperate move. Completely different FTC. There's 0 chance current FTC/DOJ do not go after Sony for this. 0. And they've won 3 very similar cases: American Airline/Jet Blue, Jet Blue/Spirit, Penguin/SS

    Sony Pictures reportedly in talks to buy Paramount. |UP|Sony Makes $26 Billion All-Cash Offer for Paramount.

    A lot of misunderstanding here: Firstly, Paramount may have $30B in revenue but $20B of that is Linear TV revenue via stuff like CBS. Sony, and any foreign company, is banned from ever owning one of the big 5 or so US TV networks. So automatically, Sony's available revenue is $10B. Oh and...
