A small 7 billion USD company, please understand

Some people were arguing in bad faith that this email was proof that Jim Ryan knew that COD wouldn't be exclusive
how it is proof when M$ offered the deal? it makes no sense, does it?

Wait...what?
Why they did Bethesda like that but not the same for ABK? Is it because ABK is bigger and has larger IP?
Because he Activision acquisition got them into much more crap. They would have done the same for their games as well, if the regulators hadn't raised issues.

Jim Ryan continues to be horrible for PlayStation. How hard is it to not have dumbass shit in writing as a CEO if you know the merge could end up in court
I'm out of the loop here? Ryan has another crap email like the one about cats?

Ah yes, a small indie publisher, Bethesda

I don't even like them and I know they own a shit tonne of IPS/engine tech. Can't someone just say "point of information: blah blah blah" like a structured debate? False statements should be scorched off the table with facts, numbers and history/behavioural history taken into account. Fucking Bethesda being small time, GTFOH!
