Aye, I remember games arriving to the Megadrive much later. SFII comes to mind.

Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
The narrative comes from shills and astroturfers and also from american people having a heavy online presence on twitter and gaming forums. It never had any substance to it.
Like refusal to accept cross play and every other talking point, it doesn't matter if someone, even Microsoft, did it in the past. What matters is what Lord Microsoft wants now.
Yeah me neither. I would say some of the biggest vocal playstation fans on twitter are american.

They are a nation of large people, that's for sure.
The new Era's crazy narrative is that MS will moneyhat the WHOLE industry if the merge is blocked lol
As crazy as that whole "Most of the PS5s are being scalped to China" theory.

That's not a new narrative. Jez Corden said something to that effect on one of his shows a while back during an angry rant. I don't think their revenge plot would work out nearly as well for MS as they think it would, but I'd personally rather MS make 3rd party deals than buy up large chunks of the industry.
According to xbox fan Welfare, xbox is getting outsold 10:1 at walmart by the ps5 and is non existent at target. Not sure what third party would want to send their game to die like that.
??? There’s vocal PS fans on twitter? All I see are new tweets about the deal having tons and tons of replies from Xbox fans…
One can even argue that Xbox maketshare is 90/10
I am not surprised. They live on a tiny bubble not wanting other opinions and thinking they are better than everyone else!
Off topic, I’ve enjoyed the thread where people were criticizing Era, it didn’t last long, the thread was deleted but it seems more and more people are getting fed up.
Are you referring to the thread titled "Resetera is actually a really great community "?
No the one that said “Opinon: Resetra has issues that needs to be addressed”
It was some wild 10 minutes.
Everything is going according to plan, huh?
Microsoft’s Activision deal hurts gamers, UK watchdog says
LONDON (AP) -- Microsoft's stalled $68.7 billion deal to buy video game company Activision Blizzard has hit a fresh hurdle in the United Kingdom, where the antitrust watchdog said Wednesday it will stifle competition and hurt gamers.

Indeed, ever since the CMA PF was released, odds have been slim. Note the drop in AB share price on Feb 6/8, aligned to the PF release. It's recovered since but AB released strong financial results. This close to the deal deadline, there would be a massive arbitrage opportunity between the current price and the acquisition price if MS being successful had any basis in reality. The market, like everyone else, thinks they won't be.
Separately, I haven't read neogaf since the split, and I'm surprised at how much funnier the forum is to read without the putrid Reee members around their neck. They're destroying every pro-Xbox narrative in the acquisition thread, too.

It's $3 billion total if the deal fails, with two deadlines before that being smaller fines if the deal isn't completed by those dates.
The COD games on PS Plus were monthly giveaways. Anyone who didn't add them to their library during the months they appeared for are SOL. One-time payment to Activision per library addition. This is a very different structure than making them available for longer term on a rotation service, with different rates. The games were also given away after at least one successor had been released at retail, which would reduce the amount of Plus subscribers who would be interested in downloading.
The monthly freebies are a completely different thing than subscription library availability would be.
