Companies don't redact information if it's not very sensitive. It doesn't matter who brought it up. They want an internal e-mail between the CFO and head of Xbox Game Studios to remain hidden when they are being accused of it saying something very damning. Highly unlikely they're talking about the secretary, Shelly, and her amazing rack.

It’s been blocked and not happening.
Move on.

Information like this can not only add even more weight against them for sure, it can also be used in future attempts to acquire other big companies. It would show Microsoft's intent, without question. Unless, of course, both Stuart and Booty suddenly decide to spend more time with their families.

Era is already doing damage control. "It's fake news".

 

[tmlDan]

Remember to tag all the folks when retweeting this

it's so funny when people on twitter think these lawyers and govt officials/regulators don't already know this.

I gotta remember most people are incredibly dumb

 

[Bernardougf]

There was any doubt that ms plan with this aquisition was to take playstation out of business?

People to this day swears on their mother that COD would never become exclusive. The selective blindness is quite severe

"Lawyers in the gamer antitrust suit"

Uh.......Microsoft has the power to show us those lawyer's are full of shit.....but they aren't doing that so....

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

spicy shit is the worst....better don't have hemorrhoids

adamsapple are you the captain of the cheerleading team?
I think you will need a new routine.

One thing I've learned throughout the course of this thread. There are certain folk who take criticism against Phil Spencer, personally. Like it hurts their soul.

Me: Phil is actually really bad at his job.

Them:

 

[Topher]

"a Microsoft rep declined to comment further."

Cult of personality and idol worship does that to people.

Right, the fact that Microsoft lawyers want to have the document removed already speaks tons.

 

[adamsapple]

Uh.......Microsoft has the power to show us those lawyer's are full of shit.....but they aren't doing that so....

Or they could simply just wait for the gamer lawsuit to be dismissed again..

 

[Dick Jones]

"a Microsoft rep declined to comment further."

It's unlike them

 

[Topher]

Or they could simply just wait for the gamer lawsuit to be dismissed again..

Uh....ok? So you don't care that this is Microsoft's goal here?

 

[feynoob]

Or they could simply just wait for the gamer lawsuit to be dismissed again..

The problem isn't the lawsuit, but the email.
That email is a damning evidence against MS and it crushes any hope they have for acquiring Activision.

 

[Calverz]

Man some of y’all really clinging on to this email. Are some of you involved in the gamers case or something?

 

[azertydu91]

Or they could simply just wait for the gamer lawsuit to be dismissed again..

MS themselves called it an internal document as seens here.
So there goes your denial, again, now feel free to move the goalpost or leave the thread for a while.

Edit: sorry for not quoting you Pelta88 but the interesting part wouldn't show on a quote.

Goalpost it is then.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Uh....ok? So you don't care that this is Microsoft's goal here?

 

[feynoob]

"Your honor , I didn't touch her. I didn't hit her or threaten her. That message which I was threatening her is not evidence".

 

[Topher]

"uncontroverted evidence"

"of which the truth or validity is not disputed or denied."

Man some of y’all really clinging on to this email. Are some of you involved in the gamers case or something?

But dude.....you were clinging to stuff Jim Ryan said. What's the difference?

 

[Varteras]

"a Microsoft rep declined to comment further."

Smarter than the two morons in that that e-mail, that's for sure.

Or they could simply just wait for the gamer lawsuit to be dismissed again..

Uh....ok? So you don't care that this is Microsoft's goal here?

Or that the FTC and CMA can get ahold of this information for their own case?

Man some of y’all really clinging on to this email. Are some of you involved in the gamers case or something?

We're over 1,100 pages of a battle that's been going on for years. The hell do you think? Anyone who came in here and posted is complicit in this madness. Smile for the camera when they take us all to the nuthouse.

Email - paper trail.
Lulu comments on Jim Ryan wanting the deal blocked - hearsay.

 

[Calverz]

"uncontroverted evidence"

"of which the truth or validity is not disputed or denied."




But dude.....you were clinging to stuff Jim Ryan said. What's the difference?

Was I? Lol what? The thing about cod? I just used that as an example of Jimbo lying because some dude said only ms were lying.

 

[adamsapple]

Uh....ok? So you don't care that this is Microsoft's goal here?

No, cause I don't know what the redacted email "supposedly" says as per axios.

I would think the same reasons in the 30fps thread.

I’m really starting to wonder if some of the old-time hardcore Xbox fans aren’t really paid astroturfers with how they spin EVERYTHING I mean there are some that at least will admit that not everything is perfect but then you have the others that are actively

 

[Topher]

Was I? Lol what? The thing about cod? I just used that as an example of Jimbo lying because some dude said only ms were lying.

Right.....so words matter. We are taking about Microsoft's words here. This is kind of a big deal whether you admit or not my man.

No, cause I don't know what the redacted email "supposedly" says as per axios.

Microsoft isn't disputing what it says. So play devil's advocate. If it says exactly what they say, what is your reaction?

 

[Musilla]

There was any doubt that ms plan with this aquisition was to take playstation out of business?

I believe Phil, he just wants to make gamers' lives better

 

[X-Wing]

It's redacted to the public...

 

[fred420170]

People to this day swears on their mother that COD would never become exclusive. The selective blindness is quite severe

MS never said that. What they said is that 10 years is enough time to make a cod competitor., or they can renegotiate a new contract after that time.

I’m not seeing how this is a big deal. Like wasn’t this obvious to everyone from the beginning?

 

[Dick Jones]

We need to do a poll at the end of this year:
Which Matt was a bigger liability to Xbox?
1. Matt Booty
2. Don Mattrick

Booty.
He single handly destroying a 68b acquisition.

You can't top that.

No, but i think the mods would merge it if someone posted it.

Good, some salt for my popcorn.

 

[feynoob]

It would have been an epic thread.
