It's all about saying one thing while attempting to do the opposite for them. They care a whole lot about being seen as the good guys and they put a lot of effort into how their brand is perceived.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
Yeah it was pixis.
It was really funny actually. He would come into the thread and mention how phase 2 pretty much indicated the deal was coffin dodging(to paraphrase). The entire thread would start a mini meltdown and no one would engage him as he has expertise in this area.
This guy prof again, yes my man you recently registered by casuality, sure jan why this People are so poor at lying?
Yeah, that name sounds right. I think there was another one as well that rained on their parade a bit over there. Those kinds of posters seem to have abandoned the thread though.

Pondered this too but when you look at how MS like to do business they wouldn't be happy commissioning work or buying entertainment from other companies like Amazon / Apple / Netflix etc there's no guarantees for success there (look at Halo Tv series). No, MS would look to acquire a huge successful entertainment company and make that content exclusive if they could get away with it.
In fact MS' brazen attempt to disrupt and control the gaming market makes me wonder why MS fans don't ask them to enter other markets that would help them in everyday life.
Starting with Holiday Pass, allow MS to acquire the largest airlines, holiday and hotel companies giving families and individuals free access to holiday packages anywhere in the world for £10 a month.
Fuel Pass, just allow MS to buy the largest oil companies in the world then offer fuel to everybody priced at monthly £10 sub.
Energy bills too expensive, just allow MS to buy the largest energy suppliers around the world then offer everyone Utility Pass.
Movie Pass crashed and burned but allowing MS to buy the largest Hollywood studios and cinema chains it could work.
Cars, housing you name it, just allow MS to buy the largest suppliers in those markets then offer it back to everyone for £10 per month.
What great value and innovation.
Agreed, they really see Sony as the easier prey to kill first before moving on the bigger fish. But I do wonder just how much damage PlayStation could realistically do to MS if left unopposed. How much of the PC market could PS really take. All I do know is MS are really opposed to the idea of PlayStation enough so to name their console before it was Xbox "Project midway" historical significance aside it wasn't built to compete but to destroy.
This make me fear MS buying Warner and ruining HBO.
They some straight hoes at ms. They just dont want to move on. If they have their way then we might aswell just get rid of regulators in every country.

That’s what gets me about people not understanding Phil’s bit about Starfield not being good enough to make people get rid of their PS5s.Pondered this too but when you look at how MS like to do business they wouldn't be happy commissioning work or buying entertainment from other companies like Amazon / Apple / Netflix etc there's no guarantees for success there (look at Halo Tv series).

Microsoft doesn’t want Xbox to be one of your consoles, they want it to be your ONLY console. MS wants to monopolize every market they enter, and anything else is seen as a failure by their management and board.

Doubling and tripling down on the political pressure I see.
The Chancellor has no power over the CMA.
Looks like a company who is confident in their appeal /s
The thing with the renegotiation with abk for the merger is those conversations may actually take place much earlier then july. So if those talks did fail and abk did pull out we may even here about it in June.
This seems to me like ms trying to put on a show for abk to get them to stay on, and they need put on this show much earlier then july.

"I am a US lawyer" I really love the appeal to authority. A US lawyer can work in McDonalds in the UK, they are not qualified to talk about British law.
True story. US has all their knowledge because they kidnapped a lot of European scientists/experts back then to WW I & II.
Do they still hang people in the UK? Brad Smith should swing for bribery and thuggery.
It must be frustrating being on MS' payroll and having randos on the internet discredit you and shut you down at every turn. This thread and Neogaf's are an anathema to shills.
MS is like a cult. You either turn into one of the hive or you don’t make it for long.
I dont recall facebook and Nvidia do all these desperate moves. When their attempts got blocked. This is like when you are in the last stages of the boss fights. And it's starts throwing all these random moves. This is it.
Talking to politicians , issue threats , talking about acquiring the company by outside means without regulatory authorization. Random 10 year deals, agreeing with random country's on approval.
How many times do you need to politicians are you gonna try and pay off. CMA is independent son. Polticitioms can't save you. Meanwhile FTC is watching this youtube style seeing every attack pattern.

Jesus, I just want this to end.
