Starfield would need to move 20 million consoles for Xbox not to die.
I think it’s over.

I never will ask this again but link to post on ERA. I want to see the warning.
Did we get new Game Pass subscribers number? It has been almost 450 days since we last got any update from Microsoft.
And as far as it looks no one buys an Xbox anymore so the increase is likely due to pc gamers and maybe some currently owning Xbox people that just entered Gamepass.
Doesn’t look good at all for ms, and blaming availability while the S system is widely available at all times just shows no one is enthusiastic enough about the gaming offers to take the slightly less good product.
Also, you can’t tell me they produced at least 30% less Xbox series X consoles than before because that’s what they're basically saying. So they don’t produce as many consoles as before because they know it won’t sell, or I can not even think of another reason why the reduction would be so drastic.

It won't. And Xbox won't die, they will become a third party publisher.
Starfield is the one that might die because it's tied to Xbox. They can't delay the game anymore and all the pressure is on them, that is usually not a good combo. It can't afford to run like shit on PC because Xbox ain't going to do it for this game.
The only reason it wouldn't technically die is because they recently changed the name from MS Game Studio to Xbox Game Studio, probably already giving it away that Xbox would soon be dead.

Basically what this dipshit is arguing is that workers cannot organise themselves for better rights without being under Microsoft, a company known for never been against unions.

Exactly, and it makes the nauseating gloating going on in here particularly sad. No empathy for the actual human beings here as long as their favourite box continues to be in the lead.

Holy fuck, pardon my French.
I was 100% sure this would go through and even thought no concessions were going to be put in place.

Fortunately they do have some users with a brain.

What does appealing realistically do here. How much time can be wasted on this?

They won't be able to operate in the UK.
And they haven't even got it closed in the USA, FTC is the biggest opposer to this deal.
They straight out of the gate sued to block it.

they didn't refused. they completely blocked. no remedies, no deals. blocked.
No and no.
They probably can't even wait because if I remember correctly there is a deadline for the deal to be concluded where ABK would be able to pull out and MS would still need to pay them $3B. I don't know if ABK can afford to be tied up to this for another year or more, they need to continue their business and go over some big internal changes.
I was so scared to look at my phone today. PTSD but the regulators are not as corrupt afterall. This is the best outcome for Sony. No one can blame them now.
Such wonderful news to hear first thing in the morning! I was never sure whether it would go ahead or not, but wasn't really expecting an outright block. This is a win for gaming and gamers.
On a more personal note, after seeing all the premature celebration and smug attitudes of Team XBox over the last month - I am really enjoying this development.
