Imagine sitting in a European legal session with Phil Spencer grinning at you like a down-sydromed Mr Potato-head. How could you take him seriously? "Just wait until the next legal hearing, they you will really like what we have to say!"



"Sony is doing this because they fear competition"
"fear competition"

Does sony get a chance to refute any of this?
Idas Post says Sony got 30 minutes. I think the live feed is just MS talking to the media after the fact.

Brad Smith's talking points don't seem new or convincing imo, but I am admittedly biased. We'll see what the EU and CMA ultimately decide.

That was a Brad Smith quote, as he wraps-up his press conference. That was it.
To recap, Microsoft has signed a deal with Nvidia and Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to GeForce Now and Nintendo Switch consoles. It will also bring all Xbox games (that are on PC) to GeForce Now. Sony, however, remains opposed to the deal and will not sign the agreement.


Incredible stuff.

MS keeping their promise of bringing games to more platforms.

💚

Of course microsft were going to show boat and make stunts, thats basically what theyve been doing since this deal was announced.

Did you cried from joy, I did. MS is so nice, what would happen to Nintendo and Nvidia without Microsoft charitable work?

Next we'll have to wait and see what the concession discussions look like, and what the CMA and EU's responses to Microsoft's statements are. Interesting how media-heavy MS approach have been through this process.

Where it’s at.
It's funny seeing MS mention Sony can spend all its energy trying to block the deal thinking it's a wasted effort...when they're using as much trying to convince them to take a separate deal.
The funniest part is thinking the regulators will give a shit if they make any deal. The CMA said no deals would be good enough.

it is the same with nintendo. they keep ignoring nintendo as they have nothing in the market.

but they brag about the deal with nintendo and why deal should pass through.

so which is it?
