Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[Satoru]

These fucking shills have absolutely no shame whatsoever

On the one hand, they say the acquisition is to allow them to compete, and that they don't want to take games away from playstation.

On the other hand they say the acquisition is to foreclose the competition.

I sincerely hope nobody is paying Hogg Law for his services, he's in Microsoft's pocket. I wonder if they paid his hospital bills

e

merger thread. And now they are simply pretending the email is nothingburger.

It was the same article from my thread below but they locked the thread and merged all the posts in the OT so they could control the narrative. The regulars from that thread are all downplaying the news and calling it a nothingburger. The rest were threadbanned so they can't intervene. It's a safespace for pro-Xbox.

Couldn’t be more transparent shills if they tried.

Most of these shills would love to see Playstation crippled and killed off by Microsoft.

Not even being a socialist keeps you safe over there if you're anti MS I guess.

Fuck these people, for real.
Everything they do is fake. From the fake left wing leaning to the fake caring about minorities.
Fucking POS people with their virtue signaling and performative takes.
Fuck that place.

I don't see what's ban worthy about that post, lmao. Also, that comment they're replying to is wrong. If the process was fair the deal would have been axed months ago.

Ree always delivers...

Also, why is a ban in that place so fearsome that any users questioning mod decisions inmediatly bow down when attacked by the usual suspects?

Oh you already had this.... I just cut it and pasted in the other thread a little while back. If I saw this would have saved me a bit of work. LOL

It's so ridiculous how they won't allow anyone appose this deal on there. SICK.... place is sick.

This deal should be blocked and MS investigated for all the astroturfing and manipulation.

Even better that even the FTC forgot about Hi-Five Rush.

 

[AshHunter216]

Gotta say, FTC arguments are pretty decent. I think the cloud market concerns have a better chance of success than the console market concerns though.

According to what I've read, the FTC have to win on market definition, they have to demonstrate that there is at least some potential for harm from this merger than deserves to be further investigated, and they have to convince the judge that not allowing the merger wouldn't hurt MS or ABK.

Happy this going on forever

I’m sure Buddy will catch a ban at Ree but he made a good point: “​

So Matt Booty sends an email in 2019 that supposedly references using acquisitions as a way to push Playstation out of the business.

Soon after they start aggressively buying up studios & publishers which includes Bethesda the next year.

But people are taking the date as meaning this isn't related at all to Activision?

We don't know. It most certainly could include Activision and the date changes nothing at this point other than show it was sent as Microsoft started making these moves to consolidate the industry.”

For what it's worth they are NOT leftists over there. They banned all Bernie supporters a couple years ago for questioning Hilary, and did it again when it was Biden

They are liberal corporate lunatics with a pride flag on. The type who will cheer for Raytheon changing their twitter profile to pride colours
