Well no, I'm saying if they lose ABK, the same logics would apply to the next person they would turn their attention to.
has this been stated during the hearings? if so are there any documents/screenshots avaiable?
No worries. It's only how I understand it all though, I can't say with any authority behind it.Thanks for clearing things up for me.
yes, Jim Ryan did say that, that they had agreement.
Plus, emails, from Phil etc.. were they speaking how to go around all those agreements, but they couldn't. they wanted Minecraft as exclusive.
Jim Ryan said they had a contract before the mojang acquisition and phillip spencer said he would love for it to be exclusive if it wasn't for that meddling contract

Can't even go outside.
Just amusing to me how they don't seem to put together that they were getting treated extra nice because they were being courted for an acquisition.
Also that they were being set up to devalue their IPs and games, making them sell less in the future and become more dependent of future services deals.
At lest now we have Bobby Kotick telling it how it is.

SEGA's IP's are not that valued to begin with hence why the subscription deals are attractive. Specially for old worn down content. If SEGA had a COD or Battlefield level IP inhouse then it wouldn't be as welcoming to "devalue" their IPs. Even with Persona, we are still talking old ass ports or for Yakuza, recouping dev costs on a non-selling platform and hedging on a potential dud on the selling platform (absolutely a no-brainer for a mid-at-best IP). It's not so much devauling something that has very little value to begin with compared to the rest out there.
If you look at the many pubs there are, Sony's money is better placed going elsewhere, and naturally that has been the decision made - with Capcom IPs for example. Square is Sony's favorite Japanese bum that Sony likes to prop, with Konami on occasion as well. That leaves SEGA out with their geriatric mismanaged IPs, and mid IPs. Naturally SEGA will feel like they're being left to the way side, and of course that's what happening so they'll welcome a desperate MS, and MS welcomes a desperate SEGA in a tight embrace of old mid at best content on one side, and survival revenue stream on the other. I see nothing wrong in that equation. Only thing I harp about is that if you're going to do an exclusivity deal or marketing deal, your clause better be 100% tight shut. MS doing that is competence. Sony not doing that is stupidity (unless you're getting the deal for peanuts aka a massive discount).

It should be a crime to do something like that, going around knowingly lying to regulators and to the public. Phil Spencer is a really low character individual.
