Need to kill the time.

It's the calm before the storm. We're a few days out from CMA's results.

God if you here me, if you let arsenal win the premier league, I will change my mind on this deal and support it, and fly down to FTC hq to convince Lina khan to let it go. Cause as usual the bastards are gonna bottle it.

 

[Varteras]

Sony isn't going to spend $40 billion on a game publisher (what it would take for EA or Epic).. even spending half that would be a stretch.

This forum loves to talk about pointless hypotheticals.

Eh. Someone claimed Sony has no legal or financial ability to make a huge purchase. I simply argued that they do but clarified that I don't think they would. I'm just bored. Fight me.

Sorry but Arsenal are doing an impersonation of Spurs. It's over now.

I am still waiting for MS to pull plug off for Xbox live gold, which Grubb told us last 2 year.

I've had GPU for so long I forgot gold was still around. I gold like 9.99/mo that's the same price as GP why would someone want gold if they are the same price when you get so much more w/ GP?

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Just popping in to say that I hope both Microsoft and Sony go bankrupt and lose control of their respective hoarded ips

[Oddvintagechap]

We're speaking in hypothetical situations. I don't honestly believe Sony is going after Epic or EA

I disagree.

I feel Sony would go for Epic and it wouldn't even be for video games. This would be more for Sony Pictures and Sony Sports divisions. Their movie business is quite entangled with Epic. Epic is expensive and Sony would need to take quite some debt.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

but those AAA games take longer to make and are far more expensieve to produce...if you dont deliver.....your brand, your product, your sevice is going to suffer...and we are seeing this in real-time

ok guys i think is time to squirt the juice....

Jezz and I.....are the same person

No, that title is reserved for a guy who's nearing the end of his ban on here.

What, you don't love paying subscriptions to use Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud? Because that's the endgame goal here, to turn gaming into Netflix. You will own nothing and be happy, even if it becomes necessary to destroy Sony and Nintendo to accomplish this goal!

Umm, you do know you can still buy Office outright?
For some companies it is cheaper to use subscription services. Just like Xbox and games, you can choose a subscription model, or you can buy them outright, or even do both.
Why you would be against having more options baffles me.

 

[Varteras]

I disagree.

After this saga is over, hopefully he can crawl back to which microsoft execs ass he crawled out from.

To be fair, bottling it is still a big improvement for Arsenal over their usual performance

Foss is a stooge and a company man

Never understood the hoeg hate on here though. He is like the most unbiased one commenting about this

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

So when was the date Sony had to provide the third party contracts by? 3 rounds of delays and it seems to have been quite a while now...Also find it interesting the regulators didn't want 3 years but MS went 10 and Sony got their limit on these contracts to 2019, seems pretty skewed.

We almost won the match, had trossard hit went little bit under the bar.

Because not everyone likes sub service.

Think of the hurdles Microsoft has had to go through because they had one competitor against the deal. Every game developer from small to big would be against it. The harm to competition would be immeasurable if Sony restricted access to Unreal Engine.

Again did MS get any hurdles for acquiring Havok? Literally every big name franchise was using that engine right down to Horizon Zero Dawn who had to develop a new in house physics engine for Horizon Forbidden West.

Sony acquiring epic?. What fictitious Dreamland did I stumble onto?

The dreamland where a shit mismanaged division for 20 years acquiring the biggest publisher and multiple ips with daddys money is "good for gamers"

Are you expecting to see those contracts? Doesn't seem like you understand how this works.

SenjutsuSage timed his release from the ban to coincide with the day the CMA will approve the ATVI deal.

He's like our lord and saviour, coming back from the depths of hell after a month to bring us all salvation.
