Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[AshHunter216]

Phil, when was FF 16 ever announced to Xbox?

MS has constantly complained about FF16 while planning to do similar/worse things.

Bro paid to change Zenimax's contract on Indiana Jones, but poor 2.6 trillion Microsoft can't negotiate a release for Final Fantasy

"You told a colleague you don't see a point in putting one off games on other platforms, multiple times, is that correct"
"Yes"

Case by case basis my ass, he also had talks about making Activision titles exclusively for Xbox

So is today's FTC lawyer as good as the one from yesterday?

I'd say yeah, but mind you I don't have any courtroom experience

 

[Relaxedsun]

ResetEra thinks Phil boy is doing a good job and the lawyer is doing a horrible job. They all for this deal on that Era

 

[BlueLyria]

I'm speculating he's talking about "Maximize subscribers" right?

 

[Darth Vader]

He doesn't anwer the minecraft question motherfucker.

"I think Sony could have sent the development kits" yeah, sure Jan. They would send those and you would have prime time access to your competitors main platform. Why doesn't apple send prototype devices to fucking samsung? or google?

 

[Darth Vader]

"I don't remember us declining an offer"

There was an offer then.

 

[Darth Vader]

What a bloodbath this is. They are so ill prepared for these hearings, the FTC lawyers are destroying Microsoft.

The only thing that can save them is the judge fearing for her sons job.

Everyone who is against the deal has been banned or chased away from there for a while now.

 

[Aidendelaney95]

Now there's a kicker.

 

[AshHunter216]

Couldn't MS just argue that exclusives are normal and spin the narrative that they deserve to have more?

 

[Darth Vader]

When Phil says he doesn't remember

Phil when the lawyer brings in the receipts

Too late for that

 

[Darth Vader]

Couldn't MS just argue that exclusives are normal and spin the narrative that they deserve to have more?

No, because they built their whole narrative on this not being about exclusives, but about them being able to compete. They fucked themselves.

 

[Johnic]

Couldn't MS just argue that exclusives are normal and spin the narrative that they deserve to have more?

The counter argument is that they can simply have more. They have more studios than Sony with just the Zenimax acquisition. Just make some games.

 

[Darth Vader]

"I don't remember this specific meeting"

This shit shouldn't be allowed in a court.
