It's ok pal, Pep will leave one day and then everyone else might have a chance.
That will be a party day, when that happens.

City will dominate the game, score two goals, miss a couple of easy sitters that would "kill" the match then concede a late goal. They will then fumble in the second leg and Madrid will score 2 goals and go through to the finals.
While in the process, they lose to everton and draw with Brighton.

And,
Anime Market Value (2022)US$ 25.62 Billion

That's like 3 ABKs. Not is Funmation or Crunchyroll a monopoly when there are dozens and dozens of streaming services and networks.

They are grasping at straws here.
Can someone please show Florian and all those idiots on twitter, that Sony only bought the services that distribute the anime and not the rights to the animé itself. I mean it's common sense, Sony is nowhere near a monopoly in the animé market, Crunchyroll & Funimation only distribute the animé through their library, so buying them doesn't buy the animé being distributed, it only buys the services themselves. The rights still belong to the studio responsible for the anime's production and Sony has to pay the producers money and royalties to keep the shows they want to distribute. These guys have officially proven what the absolute definition of being brain-dead mentally is.

Hoeg can be there for question filtering and the handling of the NDAs.

We are now what, 13 days removed from the CMA's decision? Still no video. But just two days ago he was on a podcast titled "Objectively Discussing the state of Xbox"

Anybody still willing to say he's not an xbox fanboy? Any takers?
 
GI Biz: games are the product in this industry. If a game company leadership thinks shipping better product is not the way forward, the leadership needs to change.

Paid shill: and i took that personally.

Right on cue......Jez Corden....


Ah man......I found one more. This is is priceless. Jez Corden article on cloud gaming this past December.........before CMA's final report:

 
It's just as quick as the "Arkane were never all that great" pivot we are seeing at the moment. Imagine that "Arkane never misses" to "Arkane are hit and miss". What a difference a week makes.
The U-turn on cloud gaming has been stunning lmao.

They must have been told something bad in that discord server.
Gloat about their cloud infrastructure dominance and OS monopoly in the productivity world, downplay it when it comes to Xbox and major publisher swallowing/consolation in attempts to own the gaming industry.

I have a feeling that the Spencer interview drove them to panic.

We literally have people flocking to defend Redfall and downplaying Cloud gaming all of a sudden.

The next few weeks will tell you which ones of the Xbox guys are genuinely about gaming and who's just there for the free Gamepass subs and swag.

Someone needs to give jez an intervention. Maybe we should do it collectively in a new thread or something.

He doesn't understand the concept of receipts.
