Watch MS be like "take that shit down, you know the feds watching" lol Be like "your Honor, we don't have shit, we are not leading shit, shant lead shit with this small purchase" lol
Agreed on all points.
Sony has tried for a long time and I think it was correct to give it up with Killzone, move on to Horizon and just get a better team to do some FPS thing later, so they are trying and Destiny is the best they could do and a smart move, but their other endeavors, that is just....unlikely to take on the giant that is COD right now. If MS felt such a thing was easy to just do in house ,they would have been getting 343 working on some new FPS IP or something.
MS know they teams trash, just like Sony knew their teams were trash for FPS titles, both did something about it. So I feel the claim that COD isn't that big of a deal is silly and the claim that Sony can just make a COD killer is also silly.
Neither publisher felt they could internally take on COD. They both tried with their respective IPs Halo and Killzone, failed and both did something about it. Sony bought Bungie, MS bought Activision. I think Sony had the smarter move as its cheaper and just as big without all the bloat and rape charges and Governments looking into the buy lol Regardless, I feel both parties are just to comment how they are. MS must remind them that Sony is still a giant, Sony needs to walk in their with a black eye and a neck brace and a good ass story on why MS didn't have the right of way lol
This is business and I'd expect any company to do the same as both are doing currently.
Think I hit a nerve with that one...
It is funny to see how people let themselves drive to that corner where they believe this deal is only about CoD for ms.Agreed on all points.

No battlefield or destiny 2?
And we can't have that can we?
I remember when Nintendo and Sega were the Market leaders, competition drives the industry forward pal. PS are in a very dominant position and have incredibly loyal fans (as you continue prove). They'll be absolutely fine don't worry.
That would be such a wild story that we'd be talking about that shit for generations to come.
We'd be out here telling younger generations this crazy shit lol Be like "you know, MS once almost bought Activision, even tried to pretend it was Merger, saying shit like "ActiviSoftBlizMicro X", Call Of Duty was being made on fridges and Skyrim was still being put on Toasters"
Never know how much Sony worth.
Nobody is complaining about the practice, that's the point. It's about leveraging something that was otherwise independent and preventing access.
WTF
I can’t believe the blinkers some of you have on when you make this all about Sony, despite the CMA being clear that this is also about existing infrastructure and future competition in the cloud and subscription service space.
Oh no!! That’ll teach them!

Sony is (or at least was) blocking their PC games on nvidia service (and it allow you to play only games you bought yourself it's basically PC you rent to play games you own) if you tried to run it on XBox. That will never happen.
I’d wager it’s Sony who doesn’t want Game Pass on their TVs. Every TV they sell with Game Pass adds more potential customers to their video game competitor. Samsung doesn’t care - they don’t make video games or video game platforms.
And we can't have that can we?
CMA is a joke. Literally.
That does not mean that Sony is being less hypocritical in its writing.
Isn't better for us have all the abk catalog for 1$€?
