Excuse Me Reaction GIF by One Chicago




Only thing that happens is I dont get COD on gamepass and still have to pay for it every year (which I admit I hate doing..things we do just play what our freinds play, eh?).....makes not a lick of difference to me, otherwise. I aint the one making money from the deal, am I? I lose nothing if it fails. because its not my deal. its not my money. what is there to be mad about? Im talking about the anti merger camp and how hard they been going ion this thread....nobody can tell me they wont go nuclear if this deal goes through...after all the energy they have put into this thread. Ill even say the same about the xbox fans who have made it their personal battle grounds...they aint arguing with themselves are they?

There has been discussion both for and against the acquisition in these 1300 pages. Only those who are emotionally invested in this thing are the ones expecting/hoping to see meltdowns. They are projecting.

That post specifically said....Xbox fanboys...

There is a difference between a fan and a fanboy.

If you or anyone feels that applies to them...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the meltdown stakes, surely this deal going being blocked is better value?

I mean in favor of the deal you've got

1) Xbox fanboys - already perhaps the most toxic group of platform warriors around. I think we will see death threats, war threats, PS destruction with various implements, threats of exclusivity and more acquisitions of everything and general shitstorm. Those account suicides would be a sight to behold.

New Study Claims Xbox Gamers Are More Toxic Than PlayStation Players

A new study claims Xbox gamers are more likely to be toxic than PlayStation gamers. As you may know, gaming online can be a toxic experience. People hate losing, there are trolls, and the anonymous nature of most online gaming experiences means there’s no accountability. Gaming online isn’t...

Yeah, it gets worse. A fan made this and Aaron Greenberg shared it.

Jesus I don't like Aaron Greenberg...it's like he was the guy who got beat up at school, not because he was a nerd, but he was the annoying dude that tried to fit in everywhere with terrible jokes and ass kissing.

Everytime he says something it just annoys me. It's like he can't help but to be cringe.

To be fair we wont see the real meltdowns until this whole thing comes to a conclusion...whatever the conclusion may be. everything until then is just...the game in motion. The FTC and CMA situations are still ongoing and giving this thread life. until those situations are resolved in full, we wont see the real meltdowns.

If the ftc blocks the merger it's over. If it doesn't the merger will happen.

they'll celebrate for a bit and then immediately start talking about who Xbox should acquire next (Sega)

frankly that's one of the reasons I oppose this, I wasn't happy about Zenimax but they were looking to sell & fine Xbox now has more studios than Nintendo or Sony so let them make games like they did during their first decade in the console market

instead they flat out said they had no intention of stopping even with ABK even though their studio management has been abysmal with their existing stable of studios
Click to expand...
I think their management has been mixed. 343 the worst, playground the best.
