Response from MS

Reads like they're seething lol.

Rumor

Holy fucking shit. What a shit company. To let a series like that die and during a period where there was no competition.

And this is a company that wants to have more IPs? Wow.

MS still attacking Sony in their response, I'm so sick of them.

Of course, they are harming the customers on Sony platforms but the judge will side with Microsoft as usual.

They really resent how much more successful Playstation has been compared to Xbox.

And this is what I don't get. It's not like Sony stole it from them. They focused on new IPs during the PS3 era and grew to where they are today. None of their acquisition harmed MS. Even Insomniac that worked with MS had their game flop there.

How can an incompetent group of people like that still do what they do? Does this company have shareholders that are looking at the Xbox division at all? Why are they tolerating incompetence?

here goes Lead of Narrative in Fable

Another one how many of them have left now

 

[Would_you_kindly]

I never understood his role in Xbox. He was in marketing?

Same I just thought he posted what new backwards compatible games came out when they were doing backwards compatibility lol (used to have nightmares about the Cheshire cat from American McGee's Alice )

Rumor

Seems Sony can now own or have a chance to own Halo in the future. They 50% of the way there with bungie be a subsidiary

 

[AshHunter216]

I'm tired of seeing tweets from people like Tom Warren.

 

[Loy310]

Bad day for xbox, all these key folks leaving, cma about to hail mary a second prohibition, stressing over potential ftc appeal, halo officially dead….. love it, but just want this shit to end at this point.

There goes Major Nelson

What has he even been doing over the past decade? Literally. What was his job?

 

[AshHunter216]

I'm not convinced that MS won't just screw up and lose anyway despite the advantages this merger will give them.

Saw him on reddit a few times promoting Xbox. Probably been recruiting and participating in Microsoft's astroturfing campaigns on various social media platforms

No one knows.

Sony is their only fucking competitor in the console space for Activision games. So yes obviously the acquisition being harmful for their only competitor is anti-competitive and harmful to competition and consumers.

Why the fuck does that need to be spelled out?

They can't grasp the difference between : ABK independent and both gettings games, to, ABK is owned by m$ and just xbox getting it. So, they can fuck off with that bullshit.
