How would she NOT know Sony's PS+ numbers when Sony actually publicly provide them in their fiscal reports?

 

[Dick Jones]

Someone play some elevator music in the background and Sarah will recover here.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Strategies change every day sir mam tho

We change strategies like we do our underwear. We have no long term vision, Honest!

 

[tmlDan]

just said gamepass market leader

I knew they were baiting her into contradicting her deposition and they did

 

[Kilau]

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.

Her previous testimony - We have 26m subscribers, Sony have 3m subscribers according to the bar graph

This is hilarious in real time.

 

[Iced Arcade]

did the lawyer say sony had only 3 million subs with content library? that can't be right

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yep, the SEC filings had it at the end of Nov~ 2021 as well.

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

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.

 

[Bernoulli]

they make deals but don't know about the companies

 

[Mr.NiceGuy]

I'm having flashbacks from Amber vs Depp trial.

This Bond is getting cooked.

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.

I mean at this point everyone from Microsoft has been cooked, it’s been a bloodbath in favor of the FTC

Yeah that doesn't look at all. Caught in 4k 30fps.

Can't be true, he hates exclusives.

The lies of P.

Even 11/10 games don't move the needle, supposedly.

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.

You motherfers are posting so fast you’ve gone into the future.

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.

 

[GHG]

[Pelta88]

So all these 10 year deals are completely worthless?

If MS decides it doesn't generate enough money they can close the contract? All that PR smoke and signing deals with any and everybody are not worth the paper they are signed on.

 

[graywolf323]

Microsoft are apparently big believers in having people fail upwards?

 

[Bernoulli]

so they can terminate the contract when they want

 

[feynoob]

 

[Banjo64]

Holy fuck that clause

 

[GHG]

The EU commision look fucking awful now.

 

[graywolf323]

Holy fuck that clause

I wonder why the CMA didn’t think the 10-year agreements were good enough…

 

[Foilz]

How so

Booty dancing in the back right now

It probably would have been Bonnie ross if not for her stepping down

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Low-key Sarah Bond is pulling a Bill Gates interrogation game. If you want a good laugh, go watch some footage of Bill Gates getting grilled by interrogators during the antitrust case in 2001.

 

[Foilz]

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

 

[Thirty7ven]

The EU commision look fucking awful now.

It’s really embarrassing and exposes the rot.

 

[tmlDan]

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

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The EU commision look fucking awful now.

EU commission are usually very thorough, but here, yeah, they've dropped the ball pretty bad.

 

[Bernoulli]

CMA watching this

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

 

[Venom Snake]

well i've got this thing here but i don't exactly know what to do with it ..

the xbox isn't recognizing this disc.

That's because Square is still a small indie developer.

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.

 

[Elios83]

The 10 years deal were just fluff to try to look good with regulators and like CMA stated Microsoft would dictate all the rules as they wished.

The memories!

Holy fuck that clause

The contracts are the definition of misdirection. If Microsoft thinks they should have got $0.01 more than they pulled in from any of these services they can void the contract. Hilarious.

 

[adamsapple]

Hmm, interesting.

Maybe a new tier of GP/Now that includes libraries from both for console/PC ?

 

[LordCBH]

That pie was about 20 years too soon.
