About a year after the Blizzard acquisition was announced, they had to ban acquisition talk from the PlayStation OTs because it kept getting out of hand.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
I think I remember that!
It's really telling, isn't it? One side can talk about buying the entire industry for 2 years or so and the other side can't do anything even close to that for a couple of weeks.
They have people in key positions holding the PS community down. Suppressing our voices and injecting their own to subvert the direction of the industry....
We hear all these false narratives all the time... physical is dead, streaming is the future or gamepass is the future, ABK is good for the industry etc etc.
Also perpetuating false narratives like Jim Ryan 'went crying to the CMA' or 'Jim Ryan told the CMA what to say' or 'only PlayStation does 3rd party exclusives and they are anticonsumer'...
It's from almost every media source too and the only solution is for the PS fanbase to band together and create new websites, build bridges between creators and put the truth out there for people.
This place is only part of the puzzle that needs to come together.
Doesn’t really matter, tbh, uk doesnt go to court.Microsoft hires Brussels-beating lawyer to take on Britain’s competition watchdog

Nobody "defeats" a regulator institution, unless the result was rigged. This lawyer is a VIP pass corporations buy to show the EC and other companies that they're above EU.Microsoft hires Brussels-beating lawyer to take on Britain’s competition watchdog

Thing is, brexit already happened. Let's see how this plays out.

So, a new hope for MS, huh?
How much are the chances now?
No, they hired this dude to fight the cma. They seem to be confident that the EU will take their side.

Still 0%. It’s dead. The appeal will return to the same people that blocked inicially and they’ll block it again. There’s nothing ms can do.
It's funny how era was arguing that if the deal had been approved and Sony appealed the decision, they would have no chance, but since MS are the ones appealing they think it's guaranteed to work out, lol.
I'm sure they were confident in the CMA taking their side as well. But lo and behold --
They insulted the CMA and the nation. The fact CMA was given more power a week later says it all really. Xbox has to put the work in. Can't buy your way out of this. Build your platform up properly with hard work.
True, I thought MS were going to get their way when the CMA dropped the console SLC, but lo and behold. The EU seemed to be acting like they were on MS side when they attacked one of the ftc's arguments against MS, but then again it's odd that MS recently signed another deal in the EU with a cloud company as if they're still trying to convince them. It's also possible that the EU delayed their decision so much because they wanted to see what the cma did first.
Those era user's are actually ms employees and investors
Most reeeeee members knew the truth but they're afraid to talk lol
Making games takes time. Microsoft ran out of time. They can't wait another 5 years. I believe they are totally fucked up.
We got to the point that the best news in a long time for Xbox is them hiring a law firm. Too bad they couldn't announce it on stage.
