This article is from 2020… I don’t think they will go to ps consoles, no.

We will see
I have thought of this too. It just doesn't seem reasonable, monetarily so, to exclude so many players. I'm not 100% certain, though, because it's unclear how much money MS is willing to lose in this endeavor. Some of the original reasoning, imo, was that these moves would compel new people to invest in their ecosystem but that hasn't been happening so far. Perhaps Starfield will be the test case for this, though.

Yes this is why I think it will happen, especially if Starfield is a well received. "Play the amazing GOTY Starfield for free on gamepass" (vs paying £70 on PS5) it makes the Xbox look like a better purchase value wise.

Since MS is this desperate maybe now they can now rehire Ninja to help sway the CMA just like they did when they hired him to convince the public to follow
Oh. I didn’t even knew this.

Anyway, this deal is a gift that keeps on giving.
Such a mess.

Nah. She's speaking the truth. Sony likes monopoly and that's what they want.
Who doesn't like monopoly?

I don't categorize earned market share as a monopoly. So, no, she's not speaking the truth. She's speaking as someone with a vested interest in this deal going through, though.
She'd have a lot to gain monetarily from this going through. It's also funny how many of the "pro-worker" people on era have made her their champion despite her union-busting. It just reveals what this is really about for them.

She's also speaking from her asshole considering Sony brought receipts on the "offer" Microsoft sent. Assuming the redacted parts are as spicy as they seem, it's like me saying "They were thirsty and I offered them a bottle of water. Why won't they take it???" while conveniently ignoring the water is laced with cyanide.

Exactly she gains from this deal! Are we really going to trust that her investment into this is just for justice?

Are you really going to trust Jimbo's Or Bowser's (yes Nintendo's president last name is Bowser) investments are just for justice as well? None of these companies give a fuck about me or you and you know it.
