That’s why it’s so important the deal gets blocked. So nobody tries this again.
That's what the post said
If you meant making Bethesda games *exclusive* than that's their prerogative. Their games are universally going to be available on PC if someone doesn't want to play them in the Xbox eco-system. So there's always a choice for the gamers.
I can't wait for Redfall and Starfield. Redfall looks a bit uncertain but Starfield is going to be a veritable banger and a GoTY contender.
You’re missing the point lol but go on rambling.That's what the post said

And saying a first party made a mistake by making games exclusive is *not* rambling ?
When it makes you lose your 70 billion dollar deal? No. It’s stating facts.And saying a first party made a mistake by making games exclusive is *not* rambling ?
Oh I doubt the deal is anywhere close to being a loss at the moment.
Well then, it still depends what it is. Lots of billion dollar companies are floating around on the back-end just working in tech or visual effects, etc. Lots of them in mobile... Now, if you mean another publisher.... I doubt they even have the budget for that with Microsoft going on the back-foot in regards to economic issues in the tech sector. If something like a part of Ubisoft or WB were to fall into their lap as part of a bankruptcy or firesale though... yeah I think they'd be allowed to without any regulatory trials, due to them basically assuming a failed business. But if it were a hostile takeover of a large publisher, one that wasn't in trouble itself, then I think it would get blocked. I think MS gets the current deal through with just signed agreements on CoD non-exclusivity and other behavioral stuff but this is the end of the line for major, healthy, publishers. But not for "small" multibillion dollar deals. Like, EA brought Codemasters for more than a billion dollars last year, do you think anyone would step up to prevent MS from doing that deal and getting a couple niche/shitty racing games?

The History of Gears of War - IGN
The full story of how Gears of War defined the Xbox 360, and a generation of action-shooters.
The point of my question was... to prove a point.
Microsoft (or Xbox, as I should have worded it) Is mostly unable to create new franchises. Most of their "beloved" franchises were actually moneyhat exclusives, not games they developed and fostered (or even commissioned). It's a sad state of affairs when the first console was released over 20 years ago.
i am not sure, is your first language english? or you just ignore what regulators says? what is going on here?
CMA clearly, wrote, black on white, only way we gonna approve this deal if Activision and CoD is cut off from this deal.

Just wait for "of course MS are going to divest, they never wanted CoD exclusive. They want what's best for gamers! See, Diablo isn't on Gamepass!"The delusion will never stop
Pure cope.
Yeah, they’re predictable, but it’s what is going to happen.
So now you’re taking turns trolling?
he will tell whatever fairy tail, which is given to him.

No, there's a lot of genuine trolling going on this topic anyway.
The remedial discussions on the deal is very actively happening right now, saying definitively one way or the other at this point is a fools errand, you're generally smarter than this.

The CMA: "we don't like behavioural remedies"
Deluded fanboys: "don't you see Microsoft is following behavioural remedies already?"
