Were you living in a cave?So Jimbo basically knew that Microsoft won't forclose Call of Duty from Playstation and yet he was still spreading PR bullshit.
I'm shocked

We dont know shit. That is why we are here. Otherwise we would making boatload of money and nice round in the bahamas beach.I know.
It's just funny in context of many users in this thread who pretended that first thing that Microsoft will do after merger is to remove future COD games from Playstation without contract.

Actvision worth more than UK market for Microsoft. They should just go ahead and close the deal.
Lots of "redacted" info about the source giving hearsay about a so-called knee jerk reaction comment by Jim on the day, a comment, that if true lacked any formal analysis.Nah. I'm talking about recent PI document
"First, there is no evidence to support the FTC's central theory that Xbox will take COD away from Playstation. The FTC does not cite a single document or witness even suggesting this will happen. On the contrary, Jim Ryan, the CEO of SIE, and the chief commercial opponent of this deal, said privately on the day it was announced REDACTED. Withholding COD would harm Xbox. It would contradict the valuation the Board relied on in approving the deal, which assumed profits from continued Playstation sales. It would cut off highly lucrative income stream to one of Microsoft REDACTED. And it would make COD a worse game and enrage the gaming community, because much of the game's popularity steams from the way it brings together players who use competing consoles. It is therefore unsurprising that every single worldwide regulator that has examined the deal other than the FTC has rejected this theory, including both the EC and the CMA"
We like some freedom.

Dude had twitter ego.Glad you're banned, This post alone deserves a perm.
And? Sony only cared for console SLC, they never addmited cloud is an issue for them. But CMA is looking at a bigger picture.
You're behaving like what he said somehow contradicts Jim Ryan's stance.
Why is that an issue?
What does that change with the case though? CMA see cloud gaming as a separate market to console so his comments don't conflict, not only that they dropped console market concerns.
Besides cloud gaming concerns isn't just about Sony.
That doesn't make a difference here. It's the CMA that's blocking the deal not Sony.
Zenimax isn't it's own. It's part of Xbox.So just like Zenimax ?
So looks like Microsoft are using his quote as ammunition in the FTC thing? Hmmmm, as I said, I’m sure Jim Ryan was delighted!

Sony can be classed as experts. They bought galkai years ago and had psnow streaming service for long enough.They can use whatever they want as ammo, Sony aren't experts that should decide whether it's an important market or not.
Zenimax isn't it's own. It's part of Xbox.
Activision would have act as its own company.
That is why they made MS gaming division.
Think of it like PS and Bungie.

Sony will take a block on whatever reason is available. The guy dropped a bollock saying that when he did. It was obvious Microsoft were going to quote him.Actually Sony was mad when they rejected the console argument. They definitely didn't want a block based on the cloud market.

No, console block means big acquision wont go through. It will have been a great win for them.Sony will take a block on whatever reason is available. The guy dropped a bollock saying that when he did. It was obvious Microsoft were going to quote him.

Yeah, like cancelling the PS5 versions of games in development.So just like Zenimax ?
A Sony exec versus a journalist. Ok dude.![]()
File it right next to citing Tom Warren in their previous submissions.
No, console block means big acquision wont go through. It will have been a great win for them.
If it werent for the extension deadline, the cloud block could have seen a different outcome.
This is bigger than nintendo. Its the largest gaming purchase. Its close to Sony entire worth.There is no acquisition this size other than Nintendo in this gaming space. So that doesn't hold much water.

With CMA ruling, MS can simply offer unlimited license to all cloud companies without any deadline contract and that would pass purchases like take 2, EA or other big publishers.I feel that a console block would have established some kind of boundary that could have been extrapolated beyond just simply "largest allowed purchase". It may very well have been used to estimate an allowed purchase of something like EA or T2 based on the relative strength of the company in that space. Without a block based on consoles, it feels like, more or less, there are no limits. At least for Xbox in that space.

I imagine they mean Playstation divisionIt's not close to Sony's entire worth...
Sony's market cap is 123 Billion dollars.
Nintendo's is 57 billion dollars.
68b is like 55% of their valuation. While its higher than nintendo valuation.It's not close to Sony's entire worth...

There is no block of ABK that would have lead to a future block of T2 or EA.
That just isn't how these things work.
68B is also including premium. So Nintendo as a whole would cost bit more than ABK.68b is like 55% of their valuation. While its higher than nintendo valuation.
I imagine they mean Playstation division
A block of ABK due to console concerns would have established a limitation in that space for Xbox. From there, one would be able to reach reasonable conclusions on what that may mean for attempts at other large Western publishers. But only estimations. I did not say that it would lead to blocks. Only that boundaries in the console space for Xbox would have been established. I think Sony would have liked knowing that there are limits.
PlayStation isn't worth more than Nintendo.
Again, the size and scale comparison here isn't even close. You have no idea what you're talking about. There is no case where the blocking of this would have established set limits at least of companies smaller than ABK.
Every deal is different and has to be made on its own merits.
United was blocked from buying US Air, who would later be bought by American Airlines.
