You have to give it to sony. Even with all the mud thrown at them and the misinformation spread, they kept professional through out this entire thing.

Only once did jim bring something to the public domain, and that was in response to phil exposing the private 3 year deal,

I don't know maybe a combination of japanese parent company and execs who aren't assholes helped here.

LOL...this was the mofo who supported the acquisition from an academic perspective......

His outrage gives away his bias.

The CMA said that regulating an emerging market, with new entrants would be tooxvots difficult and that was part of the reasoning. They cant be constantly policing whethere Microsoft offer a deal to each new entrant.

Of course people like this obviously biased (bought off or personal bias) academic ignore that and try to create outrage by spreading misinformation.
Xbots use his articles as a proof of something

There are some GOLDEN posts on Reeee. Can we have a thread dedicated to tear drinking and laughing at their hubris?

From just before the block:

You can start a thread if you like, instead of linking to Reset, it would be better to take screenshots and post them here.

I'll give you some 'Extra' to help you post images.

Microsoft's PR campaign is classic. The kind of stuff students learn to dissect and understand at university. Identify the enemy: Sony. Better still, make it personal: Jim Ryan.

Consumer friendly Microsoft & Gamers United versus Jim Ryan.

Then the CMA release their report with thousands of letters that do not spell Jim Ryan and Xbox fans are confounded. "How can this be? What is going on? I bet Jim Ryan is toasting this decision right now."
