Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
PeterOvo lack of self-awareness is staggering.
That's one of my favourite parts of this - the arrogance Microsoft would have had to have to think they could get away with offering deals that only benefit them and package it as a win for competition is insane and insulting.
Promote this man.

Seems that MS was going to allow other cloud gaming platforms CoD during 10 years buuuuut if they give MS 100% of the game/DLC/IAP/passes revenue made there, instead of the 70%:
I assume this means that Sony could have CoD on PS and PS cloud gaming but giving Sony 0% of the game's revenue instead of 30%. It's understandable that Jimbo told them to fuck off.

'We will be in gaming'... for sure, you don't need to shut down the gaming division if an acquisition goes wrong, mr. Nutella. Or is someone at MS tired of losing money with gaming and asking to shut down Xbox?
Microsoft's 'good guy' approach frays in UK gaming battle
Microsoft’s charm offensive with the world’s governments is starting to lose some of its luster as the software giant is confronting its toughest antitrust scrutiny since co-founder Bill Gates was in charge. A blow came this week when British regulators said they would block Microsoft’s planned...

Disgusting. CMA is 100% correct.
Was coming here to post this. This is a bombshell and is likely the reason CMA laughed this out of the room. This is basically a poison pill that lets MS expand the reach of their game and get to keep all of the revenue. Those fake contracts were win-wins for Microsoft
I figured microsoft would make it so they keep all dlc transactions. "Sure you can have cod on your console, but we keep everything else."
But wait, I thought Sony was the bad guy charging 30%? Let's see how the shills spin this.
Lmao we disscused this months ago on this forum. Its just poison to make every1 else dependant on their service while starving competition from 3p content. They d lead loss leader strategy untill no1 can compete thx to their monopoly money.
They said they ll continue with purchases after AB. Probably T2, s3ga, ubisof were plan.
Not anymore microshills.

They pretending the CMA is confused about the documents they have access to
Totally disgusting. Worst are the companies that agreed to the 10 year deal just to stick it to sony(nintendo). I hope sony locks up SE and Capcom and tell nintendo to go eat shit.
Uh oh. Could this be the same thing they are offering the EC as cloud concessions?
This is giving the FTC a lot of material to use in court.
Also another great part of this. Microsoft's thrashing about and insistence on challenging this means the alleged illegality of the FTC's opposition is going to be tested in court and Microsoft will lose there as well, possibly enshrining new anti-trust precedent into law.
Holy shit - the entire Microsoft house of cards is crumbling between this and Brad Smith losing his marbles and threatening sovereign nations. They're fucked. There is no coming back, and all because they couldn't stand to see Sony beat them.
Yeah the judge approved them getting their hand on the docs for these deals. I'm hoping for more juicy leaks.
I’m enjoying how MS is throwing a temper tantrum and weaponizing its fanbase. They’re acting like Epic did. And they’ll take L after L.
Keep burning that good will and good guy façade you worked so hard to create, MS.
It’s so good to see a trillion dollar company getting the short end of the stick.

And Nvidia SIGNED that contract? What a bunch of dumbass clowns. Why are they even fighting for this? They get nothing.
Sony would never sign that shit contract, they have brains.
This stuff should be circulated everywhere, everyone needs to see and understand this....
If we had a good, strong gaming media that hadn't been corrupted and sold out, then they would have this on their front page with it all explained.
Now the burdon falls to us.
If anyone wants to make a new thread about the contract and post it all over twitter etc, I think that would be a good move.
I was just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this could spill over to the complaints google and amazon have about unfair cloud practices. Im sure google and other third parties are now hammering EC hard about cloud now that cma blocked it because of that. And as more information comes out they could probably add to it.
