It will, if they keep COD exclusive(MS will incur alot of losses in the process).
The “uncontroverted evidence that Microsoft had the intention to put its main competition, the Sony PlayStation, out of the market.” according to the "lawyers representing a group of gamers suing to block the deal"
You were when Lulu dropped hearsay.
we’ll likely see a third one pop up here soon, “well that’s what PlayStation did to Sega!” has started percolating on Twitter
There's a huge difference between competing in gaming, and using non-gaming revenue to avoid having to compete any longer in gaming.And the others don’t?
What is going on
Something Something Psygnosis
Hmmm how am I wrong? Bluster isn't an official corporate strategy. Can you supply the supposed email?
Retard takes.we’ll likely see a third one pop up here soon, “well that’s what PlayStation did to Sega!” has started percolating on Twitter
which I must have missed when PlayStation bought Sega’s biggest money maker and then took it exclusive
That's what Microsoft always has done. Either stole their ideas from others, or outright bought the competition out.
the usual suspects still defend that on here because it’s a “case-by-case basis” despite there having been zero cases since where they haven’t taken games away that were planned (such as canceling Redfall & Starfield for PS5)"Xbox says Bethesda deal ‘was not done to take games away' from other platforms"
Xbox says Bethesda deal ‘was not done to take games away' from other platforms
But we still don’t know if Elder Scrolls 6 will come to PS5www.techradar.com
Thought it was odd when Phil said people aren't going to throw away their playstation if starfield is 11/10 or something to that effect. I guess they'll tell on themselves eventually with all of the talking they've been doing 
. Fu$% this deal and everything it stands for now I really hope it fails
Who says they stop at abk if it passes. Next up, gta.
Except that Sony doesn't need the government's approval to make a deal with a third party company. Microsoft DOES need the government's approval to acquire this company. The approval is done on antitrust/anticompetitive grounds.
It’s redacted to the public. Only for the court and lawyers to see.
I'm sure you are able to discern the difference between becoming leader of a market through your skill, commitment and investment, compared to buy the already existing market monopolizing it from competitors.
Yeah, every scenario I listed is a form of competition. But human society draws a line between fair and unfair competition, and regulates unfair competition throughout the world (to varying degrees). And scope is absolutely a relevant factor when determining what is and is not unfair. Why are you arguing otherwise? Do you think gaming is still a niche market for some reason?
With the exception of non-profits, yes.
And these types of emails kill deals and potentially lead to antitrust ramifications.
I don't know what y'all are taking me for lol, this is my direct quote following that being shared, no edits.
You realize Microsoft is an American company? We love the horizontal integration.
Is this Real ?
No .. in the case of MS is to bring more games to more people everywhere.. just like bethesda
There is a similar paradox at the heart of democracy as well: you want to defeat your enemy, which requires you to try t to destroy him, however, if you do destroy him, you end up destroying democracy.
I'm gonna call bullshit on this response bro. You literally said I was adding emotion where it was not warranted, and now don't care enough to discuss the substance of my emotional
post.
'Merica!
they will find something to say just look at REEEeeee .
Them lying publicly isn't newsworthy?
