Little help!


Where Brad Smith threatened UK with cybersecurity?? Can't find the quote

Found it :

"Microsoft has been in the United Kingdom for 40 years and we play a vital role, not just supporting businesses and non-profits but even defending the nation from cyber-security threats," said Smith. "But this decision, I have to say, is probably the darkest day in our four decades in Britain. It does more to shake our confidence in the future of the opportunity to grow a technology business in Britain than we've ever confronted before."

Is jimbo even in the US at the moment
I don't know, but SIE has a headquarter there so I assume he'll visit it maybe at least once per year and may work normally from UK, next to his home.

But who knows, considering that he makes the webcasts streams from his home for the fiscal reports maybe he doesn't even goes to Japan once per year. I have no idea.



Damn, when Square Enix is mocking you publicly, you done fucked up.

Well, at least he didn't tell them to go buy it on Xbox.

Really funny, but it's his personal account. And MS is a big partner for his company, publicly mocking them with a sensitive topic may get him fired. He may have a boss that knows about Japanese culture (he may even be an expert)

ofc all the billionaire circle jerks are gonna come out and say this. But what about the lil guys that tries to offer something new and competitive in cloud gaming in a few years and cant get no where cause all the established cloud billionaires are jerking each other off trying to flush the lil guys out.

And why they think the cma gives a fuck how they feel when the cma can give 2 shits how sony feels. If you are already established in cloud the cma wont give a shit about how you feel.

Again, good call for the cma.

I really don't think MS should be in the business of game publishing. It's a media/entertainment business first and foremost, and they're are best at traditional software. They also don't own a bunch of movie studios for the same reason. If they want to stay in gaming they should just buy an engine company like Unity or Epic, which games are made on, and integrate them heavily into Azure and allow cloud streaming that way. Play to their strengths of business software instead of media.
don't give them ideas man
