Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
You know what bro, i m ngl, FF16 should be on xbox, hate to say it, but the last FF was on Xbox you might as well just let them have the rest.
Sony partially funded the development of ff16. They were deeply involved in the development of the game.
No thank you, no need to allow the series S to drag the game down.
Is she allowed to make her own research about the cloud market before making her decision or she has to use whatever was said by the FTC lawyer in the courtroom?
She seemed really clueless about the industry and all the repercussions of this deal.
I feel vindicated, fr. I got banned on era and GAF multiple times for simply stating facts about MS: that they’re monopolistic, that they buy their way into the top, that they’re incompetent. And guess what? All true. Freaking clowns. Now GAF is panicking over MS, after realizing the truth.
Kinda wild that one judge with no expertise in the tech industry, videogame industry or economics is going to be the sole decider for the preliminary injunction of a 69 billion dollars acquisition.
She had 4-5 days of hearings, evidence and lawyers bullshitting arguments left and right to make her decision.
UK system seems much more robust for consumer protection, with them having actual experts go through all the evidence for many months.

I think the judge also said if MS and ABK merged now, given that they wouldn't be heavily mixed together, it would be easy to forcibly undo the merger if something bad came up from a later investigation.
I'm not sure, but I would think she would at least consider the CMA's findings.
Yeah, the fans on Twitter are going to blame Sony regardless.
It would be a funny sight to see if she grants the PI and watch all the fans turn on her after praising her.
No it shouldn't.
Also it's not on Xbox because SE chose not to put it on Xbox.
It's never been money hatting cause if it was MS would win.
Era is a cesspool of weirdos.
Gaf got some shit with it but..I like and been apart of the struggle with you over there.
Part of me thinks it would be better to have specialized judges for some of this a la specialized lawyers. Like if a judge is going to be hearing certain kinds of cases, they need to at least be SOMEWHAT-versed in the topic. Way too many people who know absolutely nothing about a topic making rulings on it.
But then that almost seems like it would be easier to have activists try to get specific judicial appointments, as well as mark an easier target for lobbyists too, so Idk.
It's a timed exclusive, too. Presumably, nothing would stop them from porting the game to Xbox once that duration is up if they so chose.
