Hopefully he's looking for a summer getaway.

Let's trade adamsapple adamsapple to Resetera for this poor soul.

I think he's already there as well unfortunately, not sure they need another one of him.

So, I mean... these recent developments such as the email and these FTC statements?

I would assume the email could potentially be devastating to their case, but I don't know how that'd hold up in court?

I'll say this in the most A-Politcal way possible. In the US, the regulators don't seem as strong when it comes to big tech and their lobbying efforts.

But over here in the UK

Assuming the email content is what it is rumored to be, then it would absolutely be admissible in court if MS intentions for the deal are in any way relevant to the case. But the email itself would be just one piece of evidence to consider with all other evidence. It would certainly have significant weight (if not obviously sent in jest) because of the high level of the person sending it though.

Tom Warren ensuring his name has absolutely no credibility (if that was in doubt). Microsoft haven’t denied the legitimacy of this email.
Haven't Ms said that this was an internal document that the court shoudln't have had ?Which confirms its authenticity.

The sad thing is that if the lawsuit were against Sony, he would be telling the story so differently and enjoying the ridiculousness of a group of gamers banding together for this.

But of course, he has to belittle them and act bitter.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

well of course, every community needs impartial unbiased posters like myself 👼







He's not wrong tho


And Water is fucking Wet... why is this a surprise??? :p


Beating the competition is not the surprise, I'm surprised at the ferver around a redacted email and only taking the word of the gamers lawsuit lawyer.

2019 huh?

What was it that happened in 2019 specifically related to Microsoft/Xbox and Activision again?

Oh yeh, that's right:


I've said it before, I'll say it again. None of this is a coincidence.
Agreed. Just like Nokia.
