wow, who weren't they eyeing. I hope this entire administration gets fired
Microsoft: We are in a very unique position to be able to go spend Sony out of business
- Thread starter Nhomnhom
- Start date
The green rat Judge noticed that MS is getting criticized so he locked both the threads 
take Phil, Aaron Greenberg, and Sarah Bond with him. Long overdue
Bro some of the things that are written LMAO.
Rebellion with Questionable quality? Has Microsoft looked at their own first party games? Rebellion's double A titles are very much of good quality for what they are.
Understandable.
Crytek has a "history of mismanagement".

Remember the EU rubber stamped this bullshit.... what a farce.

MS defense is out: they droped those plans and went with another one completely different that just happened to involve buying Bethesda and Activision Blizzard and removing their games from PlayStation.
The analogy is this:
- You are caught planning to off someone by running them over with your car.
- You actually go and attempt to run them over.
- Your defense is that you changed your mind and just happened to run that person over by accident later.

He's failing to conceal his (and the site's) bias and agenda so poorly he legitimately needs an intervention. Between here and GAF it's become an increasingly discussed and visible topic, to the point I actually think this could start affecting the site's reputation. And not that I have any issue with that; I'm just amazed at how little self-control and self-awareness Judge is demonstrating (and the apparent lack of any other mod staff telling him to pump the breaks).The green rat Judge noticed that MS is getting criticized so he locked both the threads
The thread title change is also amusing and exemplifies their agenda:
Matt Booty in email encouraging MS bosses to invest in content: “Microsoft are in a very unique position to be able to go spend Sony out of business”
Windrunner then makes an on-point post, and pays the price of a week-long ban:
EU 100% were bought.
this is just peanuts compared to what they can't publish or what was redacted.
and still, all these emails etc.. damn, that's brutal anti competitive behavior and basically clear intent to have monopoly and fuck customers.

Most concerning to me is the redacted acquisition target. Blank page between Thunderful and Crytek. Are they in the process of buying another?
Pete Hines wasn't a fan of exclusivity, wanted to discuss that with Phil
One of the mods with a fallout avatar is locking all the threads at era lol
It was never a mistake though? They wanted to apply pressure to Playstation and hoped Game Pass would have grown fast. Then have the media spread the narrative (which they tried) how anti-consumer it was to not do day and date releases.
They wanted Playstation to take the bait and follow suit since they knew it would financially kill them..
Of course Jim Ryan is a great business man and saw through it. He took a lot fk flack for saying it out loud but he was right like almost everything else, he said back then.
Oh she is corrupt... Will she step on the giant's toe and potentially stall her sons progress within sed company?

It was a mistake, it's them overplaying their hand out of desperation to get the it going and save their gaming business. It clearly didn't work and created and completely unattractive and ineffective business model.
The thing is they can't walk back from it easily and like you said Sony never fell for it.
Well guess what? That's exactly what Sony will do.... They don't have a PR or Marketing department..they are indeed very passive and have their hands tired and mouth gagged by an idiotic CEO, who was willing to sell out the brand 4 years ago... To Microsoft.
It was clearly a way to hopefully accelerate the subs to Game Pass and hope Playstation followed suit.
