Microsoft / Activision Deal Leaves Sony Stans in Shambles | M$ Wins Fight Against FTC

[MeachTheMonster]

The CMA’s report contradicts the ambitions of the UK to become an attractive country to build technology businesses. We will work aggressively with Microsoft to reverse this on appeal. The report’s conclusions are a disservice to UK citizens, who face increasingly dire economic prospects. We will reassess our growth plans for the UK. Global innovators large and small will take note that - despite all its rhetoric - the UK is clearly closed for business."

They threatening the UK economy. This won’t be over for a while

as long as games continue dropping onto Gamepass and Steam I'm good with whatever happens.

This whole ordeal is hilarious. Ninty and Sony makes games. Xbox had no problem like this during the 360 era and even the og Xbox era.

Now the excuses is they need to buy huge publishers to make themselves even steven.

The second excuse is Sony and Ninty been in the game longer.. but this didn't matter from 2001 to at least 2013 when the Xbox was strong as hell.

Again y’all keep repeating this shyt like games come out of thin air.

The 3rd parties that made all those OG xbox games are dead or have been purchased by someone else.

All of Microsoft’s studios have been releasing games. Only way to ever make as many games as Sony and nintendo is to own more developers

They don’t REALLY give a fukk about the people. Just who gets rich and when

If Peter Moore had to take the fall for RROD, then Phil shoulda been canned for his incompetence during his 9 year reign.


edit: Why the hell is MS stock up 7%???? Sounds like investors like the fact this fell through?

@courtdog was right, the cloud won.

The cloud went from laughable marketing speak to the most important market in gaming going forward

Man... If just releasing game was the standard. That's a super low bar.

It was no problem because the narrative of triple A exclusives didn't dominate people thinking.







Now...

UK blocked it so the rest of the EU would as well. To TOTALLY be out of western europe ain't worth it.

It's over breh.

To be clear I don't think this happens unless AB and MS really just want to prove a point.

But...
