Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
People are panicking because of the EU rumor, but ultimately it's far from over.So by reading the last few pages looks like we all still hate MS because they are soulless pieces of shit!?So is the deal going through now or Not!?
I think the industry would be in a better state if we though all companies are pieces of shit. Playing favorites and choosing sides will just make things worse for us consumers.So by reading the last few pages looks like we all still hate MS because they are soulless pieces of shit!?
I am more worried about the message this deal with have - Google, Apple, Amazon, Tencent all of you are free to buy all you want.

Crazy how so many folks in the RE thread for this merger want regulators to help MS dislodge Sony just so MS can come in and charge a race to the bottom entry fee only they can afford thereby setting ms up to dominate by charging the lowest cost to entry that both Sony and Nintendo cant compete with. This is the competition the nuts on RE wants.
Weren't there also "insiders " who thought there was a rift at the ftc and the vote was going to be split as opposed to what actually happened? Who knows what the EU will ultimately decide, but I'm getting sick of supposed "insiders " who don't actually know anything.
This is how the conversation normally goes in that thread on RE:
REEEEE: Sony should be punished for using their market lead to secure exclusive 3rd party titles, timed exclusives and DLC to maintain their spot as the market leader. That dont allow competition and that why I support allowing Microsoft to buy up the whole industry so they can compete and I can play COD yearly by just buying 4 boxes of COD themed PopTarts because Microsoft is pro consumer.
The FTC should set up laws that dont allow Sony to ever be able to have Exclusive games and DLC every again and they should be fined if it ever happens again. I can see Sony getting arrogant and complacent again like they did in the ps2/ps3 days.
Somewhat reasonable rebuttal:
Typical REEEE response:
And the reasonable response is not quite accurate. Dead Rising 3 and the DLCs for Dead Rising 2 are forever exclusive to Xbox.This is how the conversation normally goes in that thread on RE:

It sounds insane and really stupid but that is exactly what they are saying.... the words may be slightly different but the overall message / thought behind it is exactly as you wrote.
It’s not my response lol. I just copied over one of the responses from that cesspool of a thread trying to point out that MS is not exempt from criticism of doing the same thing
I know it wasn’t, just pointing out that MS has shafted gamers far worse than Sony ever has.
We hate MS because they’re a terrible company that is unable to compete fairly win through power moves and driving competition out of market by cutting their supplies and products revenue. Try harder next time.So by reading the last few pages looks like we all still hate MS because they are soulless pieces of shit!?

and the only reason MS don’t do it for big games is because they’re incompetent.
That, and they’ve sunk to a pathetic slice of the market to the point of publishers demanding more than XBox is allowed to pay them by papa Satya these days.
Their rhetoric is becoming more unhinged and deranged every passing day. It’s well beyond cult territory to parallel universe.This is how the conversation normally goes in that thread on RE:

Here’s the thing,*Sony doesn’t actually have that many times third party exclusives*
Not that much more than Microsoft has to justify buying up publishers.
I’m not exaggerating I’m genuinely worried that some of these more militant Xbox fanboys will commit act of violence if this deal isn’t allowed to go through, they’re that unhinged and deranged. Phil Spencer said in his last interview he likes to see the reaction from the fans so he in a round about way encouraging this behavior.
Surprisingly that person is still here but not banned but the they typical responses to that looks like bullet points they got from the Xbox Ambassador's secret discord. We know those fans never have a original thought or rebuttal.
