Commentator that has been following this says that MS need to be able to convince the judge that the deal should go through because all of ABK being on Gamepass will help the industry more than anything.

Good thing is the CMA is paying attention closely to this trial.

Try saying anything on places like reddit and you're instantly downvoted into oblivion if you question Microsoft

The GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit routinely posts stealth console war threads cheerleading for this deal and saying Playstation are evil for opposing it. They barely even post Playstation content on there unless there's a negative spin.

You're a bit late with this one. I'm not sure this is the bombshell Tom Warren wants it to be. The statement by Jim was made before the terms of the deal were made clear.

So, how things are going at the court for FTC?

The article conveniently left out the date when the email was sent. They also ignore everything that happened the months after where microsoft started handing out those crappy deals and it was obvious what their intention was.

Sarah Bond said that no game is so essential that you have to have it on your platform. If so, why do they get so angry every time Playstation has a 3rd party deal?

It's written by Tom Warren, so that's not surprising.

Are MS lawyers questioning Bond or FTC?

Bond says Playstation marketing deal for COD hampered Microsoft.

Audio just died for me

I'm curious about when the FTC will talk about the cloud market. I know we've got 5 total days of this but still.

 

[BlueLyria]

Audio is good now

 

[AshHunter216]

MS are mentioning that the deal is good because COD could come to switch because of the deals. When it's the FTC's turn, they should talk about the limitations of a switch port of COD and the flaws in these deals.
