I mean this in the nicest way possible.

Why do y'all let that site live rent free in your heads?

Theres some clowns there and there are some clown here. Just let each other be lmao.

 

[Rossco EZ]

do we know if they are actually coming back in 30 minutes or has anyone confirmed thats it for the day?

 

[LiquidRex]

I believe so for the main appeal.
This was CAT saying no to some kind of extension (delay tactic by CMA). CAT said something like they were "gaming the system" and that there hs been no material change to transaction to delay the appeal process further.

They'll just block and Microsoft will push on regardless... When does Canada, New Zealand and Australia make their decision?

Isn't it a journalist's job to find out what is really going on behind the mask instead of being fed a line and unquestionably believing it?

Okay, it's 2 in the morning. Someone PLEASE return the favor of all the summaries and notes I did, take notes of the closing arguments, and tag me. Thanks in advance!

Dunno if I can do that but I can probably record the audio if the stream link from earlier stays up.

EDIT: Yeah I can easily record the audio stream. PotPlayer #1.

The mask didn't slip, they're straight up streaking up and down the street at this point.

Are the closing statements going to be made public or not?

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Phil being asked why he's taking away games from PS:

 

[Dick Jones]

Are the closing statements going to be made public or not?

They probably have to scrub the word Nintendo out for it to be public. No one fucks with N******o

 

[Rossco EZ]

yeah back live folks

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

It's On!

Given how IGN has basically been in bed with them for years, to arrive to this point it's quite the sight.
Whatever happens Microsoft has truly shown its ugly face with these acquisitions.

A toll is a toll
And a roll is a roll,

Then we don't get no roll

 

[solidus12]

Yup, it's a cult.

 

[Rossco EZ]

this is the FTC guy speaking making a final point?

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

How are u listening

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Today's reminder that the best lawyers don't want to work for the government, because they make a lot more money working for private clients.

 

[Del_X]

Judge seems skeptical of this argument so late in the game.

 

[Dane]

That FTC guy argued like a fanboy, remember the "Sony is doing third party exclusives for Playstation users, they don't own anything to Xbox users"

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

this is the FTC guy speaking making a final point?

I think so.

"Difference between exclusivity that is pro-competitive and anti-competitive"

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

They're currently speaking about how exclusives are not inherently a bad thing, but delineating between the scale, scope & intent between Sony's exclusivity deals and Microsoft's exclusivity goals driven by acquiring full 3P publishers completely.

 

[GHG]

Yup, it's a cult.

Wow even Phil knows it.

To be fair, he should considering the way they treat him.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Judge already playing dumb.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

"Difference between exclusivity that is pro-competitive and anti-competitive"

This dude's example is terrible. If you fund a game it can be exclusive but if you buy the company its anti competitive to make it exclusive. Lmao what logic is this?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Sony just acquired another publisher what?

 

[GHG]

Sony just acquired another publisher what?

Who said that?

 

[SirKicksalot]

Sony just acquired another publisher what?

Well, Bungie self-published Destiny 2 for some years.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Can tell the Judge got her 10 year deal with Sarah Bond

 

[BoSkiiRed]

The Drama lmao

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

All the FTC guy's gotta say is that Sony's 3P exclusivity deals still leave the option for direct competitors to bid for those deals and make independent business deals with the same 3P publishers, the way we're seeing with MS and Sega for example.

Microsoft making Zenimax & ABK content exclusive prevents Sony from being able to work in any capacity with those publishers for the future as long as Microsoft retains ownership of them, and Microsoft can act as the middleman in all those deals while "rigging" them to be beneficial for them regardless.

 

[solidus12]

Guys any YouTube link for the closing arguments?

 

[Del_X]

Sony just acquired another publisher what?

Bungie, technically. They got publishing rights back from Activision

 

[Thirty7ven]

Who said that?

The judge asked it. And she's basically playing dumb already, are you listening to this?
