Damn right! Hypocrisy at its finest!!

Anybody else confirming this testimony. Activision games are on ps+, not day 1 obviously.

My question is where are all the schills that were saying different. Most of us said it cannabalizes sales aka value destructive and now you have a head honcho saying it but ohhh noooo devs really love it!!! It creates more sales blah blah

Foh with that bs.

Why did he say that? I thought he would try to make the deal happen

Yeah, I remember when Spencer was trying to sell that pile of bull.

Under oath. He’s making deal happen because shareholders benefit from the valuation, that’s his core responsibility - consequences after, not his issue

He also might not find the idea of getting $3B plus all his power at ABK back all that unattractive (now that this MS acquisition somehow cleaned his image for some reason).

What MS did by laundering his image only tells us that at the very top metoo is used as a blackmail strategy more than a way to protect women from harassment.

Imagine how much money Activision would have cost without the accusations and rumors.

Do not be surprised if in the event of the deal being approved the ABK people like Bobby and Lulu are put in charge of Xbox. Regardless of how vile they are they at least have a history of success in this business (unlike pretty much everyone at Xbox).

Somehow the schills on reset will spin this as a positive angle for Microsoft lol and minimize it.
