Nothing wrong logic wise with that meltdown, except of course the victimization aspect (it's business) and the selective myopia of someone still yearning deep inside for the glory of the Xbox 360 days when MS was heavily engaged in this practice, of which this golden age came about in part because of that. Hence the ultimate hypocrisy lays bare itself - tribalism expressed in full. Everyone knows the purpose of exclusivity. The reason that fanboy is attached to the Xbox platform was largely in part because of MS's heavy use of this exclusivity practice to get a leg up on Sony during the PS3 era (thus becoming "competitive"). Just so happens for "poor" MS that when you're not the market leader, when you don't get a year head start, cheaper price and have the competition fuck up in all ways imaginable it becomes prohibitively expensive to engage in this practice. When that scenario doesn't play out you can't simply rely on others, you have to look at your own stable to carry you through except MS had nothing of worth on their own when Bungie emancipated itself from that dogshit company. When we say prohibitively expensive, we mean for normal companies of course, not for the $70 Billion in throwaway money daddy MS kind. But anyway the point is that if you want to continue to depend on others you've to cover the loss of sales for the title in question on the competing platform (market leader) + a premium incentive fee on top + find a willing partner to the deal. This "willing partner" of course will not sell his IP short, rightfully and specially knowing that the "negotiating partner" aka MS is in desperate need for the deal cause it's getting killed by Sony/PS - its called leverage not charity. The price just goes up and up and up. In comparison Sony only needs to cover the measly Xbox share and Sony will enjoy "generous" discounts as association with the market leader is something all publishers want to be associated with - it's called the "winning team".
It's always about beautiful, tasty money - always.
Not to mention the huge selective myopia of the exclusive deals MS had lined up with Capcom as well as EA's strategic partnership (Madden, Titanfall etc) all ready to carry the X360 momentum and sink PlayStation and Sony once and for all (Destiny's deal paled in comparison). The problem for the Xbot of course, besides being a helpless partisan idiot is that, in MS fashion, the whole launch strategy of the Xbox One backfired horribly. Lets recap the downfall: Physical DRM > TV TV TV > $100 more expensive with "Kinect" > Dead Rising flop > Sunset Overdrive flop > Halo: MCC disaster > Titalfall flop...... etc etc.
Today, the backfiring repeats - launching a console with absolutely nothing exposing the platform (once again) and its leadership for its nakedness - that's, without third party support Xbox is nothing, and it's merely the "other" brand on a retail shelf. Hence why to correct the problem, buying out Publishers is the most immediate fix for an incompetent leadership trying to prop up a highly mismanaged brand.
Lovely tears from a bullshitter to revitalize your soul.

The rampant cries for MS domination have led us here, with no path forward for Xbox and all future acquisitions blocked by the CMA's reasoning, and so cries about how unfair it is ring hollow.

Xbox shills have regressed from bargaining; "The merger will still go through if we can xyz" back to denial; the CAT will force the CMA to change it's mind. This time next year, MS will own ABK.
Sure they will. Now UK government gave CMA more power. LOL
Ohhhhhh ERA Started to ban from the thread anybody that agrees with CMA
Now you can insult CMA and call what you want of them but you can't ask to people be respectful with CMA.

Didn't know that Judge ( Xbox MVP/Ambassador ) is a administrator Ghostcrew on Resetera. LOL
I always thought there was something aborr Ghostcrew. He was always very obviously siding with Xbox all the time.
Xbox fans spam the CMA on Twitter after their decision to block the deal.
Gamingleaksandrumours on reddit has a lot of people super defensive of this deal and angry about the CMA's decision as well.
They’re a vocal minority. The vast majority of gamers and industry are against the deal.
Is that 7th level? Holy i havent heard him for like 10 years. Nice to see hom around still
He's retired from the console war, but he still tweets and does streams, lol. If only Blackbustercritic would come back.
Yep, makes sense. But i bet they’ll fail at cloud gaming, losing to Sony and Nintendo simply because they are unable to offer good entertainment products.
Once again: CMA is completely right on their decision.
F*** Microsoft.

I haven't seen his posts on era, but I just found his reddit by googling that username and he's definitely a bonafide Xbot. Embarrassing how a minority of gamers (xbox players) are just shitting up the internet with their horrible takes.
