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
I'm sure all that Destin guy will do is make a video talking about the Jim Ryan Email.

Bonnie Ross was elegantly fired because she couldn't manage a single studio and a single IP....go figure if she could steer the whole ship....although the other executives are no better it seems.

Microsoft is no stranger to executives that absolutely cannot steer the ship. They famously had Steve Ballmer for a while running the entire show.

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.
Do you think Nvidia is dumb and signs things of that caliber? What they are explaining there are standard clauses in any contract and surely the conditions of rupture of agreement were agreed by both parties.

What remains in view of the judge is that MS has agreed with a competitor and certainly the FTC has not achieved anything obstensible to its interest.

Man it’s an uphill battle for ftc after that cod revenue revelation.
Revenue split you mean? I guess that just tells us (and the FTC) how important CoD it actually is for Xbox that they've agreed to lower their revenue split to 20/80 from the bog-standard 30/80 they demand from every other 3rd party publisher and dev.
