This is not a "bombshell Jim Ryan" email. It is a Chris Deering email addressed to Jim Ryan. Anybody can email anyone they want, so framing this as a "Jim Ryan email" is a straight up lie meant to get people to think he said what he quoted.

Tom Warren is either really dumb, or really dishonest. Could be both. Either way, this is really bad "journalism."

The media narrative seems to be microsoft has a god given right to have whatever it wants because reasons.

Look how shit windows is because of microsoft’s monopoly but we still have to entertain what these assholes have to say about needing more monopolies?

All the regulators who just waved this through like it’s perfect should be investigated for corruption. Good on CMA and FTC for sticking to their guns.

Should we make a thread listing the biggest shills and anti-playstation voices online?

Attributing quotes and actions to each notable shill...

Destin is busy on his hustle too.. making videos shitting on Jim and PlayStation every day.

He just got his YT silver play button.

Tweaktown guy is surprisingly levelheaded when live tweeting the proceedings though. He's willing to admit when MS messes up. Tom Warren, Jez Corden, Destin, FOSS, etc. are the really bad ones.

They should ask kotick about closing over the CMA before the merger expiry date.

Satya and kotick hold the highest point of leadership in their companies so they are the people to ask.

I don't believe Kotick.

He could release multiple GaaS, each with subscriptions required to play ala OG World of Warcraft. Release the game free, charge a fee for subscriptions and then sell MTX on top. Maximum pay day.
