Jim is way too nice and polite in his email to Phil.


Perfect email from Jimbo.

Tom Warren's gone full shill, presenting an email to Jim Ryan mocking Microsoft as a bombshell Jim Ryan email (what a babbling moron Tom's become)

Bobby Kotick killed it (and the deal) on the stand. Switch and MGS would happen without the acquisition if the conditions were right.

Can't believe they tried to buy SE (I can), but it just goes to show they won't be able to buy the industry out when the ABK acquisition fails. Their relationship with SE is worse than ever.

Microsofts new slogan should be "If you can't beat em then eat em."

  • Sony typically does not require subscription exclusivity for games included on PS Plus. Microsoft often requires day one Game Pass titles to not be made available on competing subscription services.
Who would have thought that Microsoft was a hypocrite?
Didn't era go on some huge crusade claiming Sony was blocking things from Gamepass? lmao

Fake news. Phil is a savior.

Let's see how the media ignores yet another Xbox criticism. I remember it being a big deal when it was revealed Sony doing it.

Let's look at this with a clear mind. While many gaming journalists, influencers, gaming media and all other hypocrites are still justifying Microsoft's plans, their total reach is still only a very, very, very few thousand, and these are just intersecting. For example, all of Fud's Benji proponents are the same as Jez and Destin. Even though Microsoft puts so much effort and money into it, it's completely meaningless. It is and remains the same community without reach or hearing. They just don't reach anyone except the ones they already have and aren't interesst gaming.
