They did Trojan Horse HL2 to it. I remember many of us PC gamers were pissed, as I was putting on my collector's edition t-shirt, motherfucking that install crash process on day 1. We gamers are weak sometimes, lol.

But Steam is beautiful today. Most beautiful.
Yes I remember being annoyed with Steam then. Seemed unnecessary but I still took a week off EQ to play HL2.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Her previous testimony - We have 26m subscribers, Sony have 3m subscribers according to the bar graph

This is hilarious in real time.

Isn't the 3m for PS Now which even Sony doesn't count as a separate thing anymore? they also count total PS+ members as a single entity.

So how can the filings come before them deciding to buy?

Nov '21 is when Phil and Bobby started talking about it before, I'm guessing, Satya gave the go ahead in December.

Likely, but they (MS Lawyers) should have edited or amended the deposition or had prepped her with new numbers given the changes to PS Plus.

Otherwise it just looks really bad.

Oh dear, this is the woman positioned to replace Phil Spencer....I wonder if in Microsoft people automatically become executives because of service seniority alone because these people don't have a clue.

I mean isn't that basically how Phil Spencer got the job to head Xbox? No one else was there after Don "I'm Somehow Still Responsible For Xbox's Woes 10 Years After I Left" Mattrick.

Microsoft are apparently big believers in having people fail upwards?

we rarely get public hearings like this, but like depp and heard it gives us a good indication of how biased some publications are (even tho we knew).

I was checking Destin and Tom's tweets and they all leave out information that may be damning, if they had integrity they would show both openly and have honest criticism.

It's a sad state of affairs

The clause states that either party can readjust the terms of the contract. Seems pretty standard . It doesn't say they can just cancel it

Yes, folks are jumping the gun at what reads bog standard.

Everything is getting exposed right now, their arses are fully hanging out.

Even if it's just confirming what a lot of people already knew it's good to get all of this out in the open once and for all.
