I am.....

Oh you are, then please explain just how in the fuck you've reached the conclusion they don't understand what they are talking about.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Poor Nintendo being cast aside and not allowed to be included in the debate with the "big brothers".

Nintendo right now.

 

[tmlDan]

oh boy, so they only include nintendo to downplay themselves. Otherwise they don't matter

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Uh oh...Phil getting called out for MS's tendency to contort market share perceptions among various regulatory bodies when trying to argue their position in the market. Inconsistent presentation of their own market share, when it's convenient

 

[Kvally]

then please explain just how in the fuck you've reached the conclusion

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

bruh, 15 minute break already?

 

[Topher]

Break time!

 

[splattered]

Nintendo right now.

I bet that's true, Doug Bowser is rooting for Microsoft because he wants COD back on the Switch

 

[Thirty7ven]

Phil being pushed to agree that Xbox is more competitive with PS in US, tries to deflect, gets pushed again, admits.

 

[dotnotbot]

Asking some of the people in that thread to understand these definitions are being set for the judge's benefit (and to ensure that both the lawyers and the witnesses are on the same page regarding what's defined as being discussed), is like asking them to use their own brain.

They don't have one.

No wonder they're so sure MS is winning, they just don't understand what they're listening to.

 

[DForce]

I can see (hear) the FTC is out of their element when it comes to technology, lol.

I take it you don't watch many court cases.

 

[mckmas8808]

Plenty of folks here are not warriors and game on multiple platforms.

You can game on one platform and still not be a warrior.

 

[Topher]

bruh, 15 minute break already?

They have to give breaks for the court reporters who are transcribing all this.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I bet that's true, Doug Bowser is rooting for Microsoft because he wants COD back on the Switch

He is free to make an 80/20 deal with Bobby bear. I bet they would give them CoD Mobile on their literal last gen cell phone powered device.

Because even Phil isn't delivering native full-fat CoD, and Activision just shut down OG Warzone.

 

[Thirty7ven]

So you got nothing?

A gif and that's it?

That was so bad by Phil. He straight away ignored the question and just repeated the line as the answer he wanted to give. Good stuff by the lawyer to circle back to the question he asked.

Makes frustrating listening when they avoid even the most straight forward answers. They’re obviously paralysed by the fear of fucking this up but if your intentions are what you’ve said they are what have you got to be nervous about?

Well, that forum is a dumpster fire. Nothing surprises me when it come to that shit hole.

 

[mrmustard]

This thread is fucking insane.

 

[nikolino840]

For reference

Sure...for now i haven't changed my mind as i said...for me more teraflops is better ..

 

[Pelta88]

Sounded like Phil was about to be caught in a lie and the Judge helped him out with a "break."

It's completely normal and I don't blame Phil at all. This is how it goes, anybody who has spent time in court knows this is how it goes.

True statement

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

No wonder they're so sure MS is winning, they just don't understand what they're listening to.

Exactly; the FTC are trying to establish tendencies in MS's patterns of behavior. It's not as simple as pointing to one incident, then another that doesn't immediately connect on a surface level and going "See!!? That email is irrelevant now because it was from four years ago!!"...

...as some people have been trying to do. These companies are not stupid and neither are these lawyers.

Sorry you have such an issue with opinions. Until next time...cheers!

 

[FrankWza]

It's funny how some of you think FTC doesn't know technology simply based on the question they are asking. They are asking the questions this certain way as the answers are for the Judge, not themselves. hahaha

This is a forum of people who have never seen My Cousin Vinny. And that's a sad thing.

he was on the ropes

You think FTC/Sony won day 1? Are you crazy? Day 2 has been nothing but nonsense to try and paint Nintendo as not capable console to show that putting COD on there is useless . As for what fill just said bout the competitivness it simply was are you more competitive in 1 country over another. Yes.

 

[DeepEnigma]

His mindset is probably that of being interviewed for IGN, fanboy centered podcasts, and many of their other softball sponsored content Q&As.

Welcome to the big leagues, Phil.

 

[Alebrije]

This is more interesting and fun than any Showcase ....

Opinions, what a badass

Welp good job exposing your own biased perspective on this already, I guess :/

I bet I can predict what you'll say about day 3 and day 4.

 

[Danwan224]

Untouchable about to get banned

Only if he responds to one of the mutants in that thread

 

[Thirty7ven]

This guy in the stream lol, he's so upset ahahaha

Brother is an Xbox fanboy look at the merch. Saying this is Sony's lawyer ahahah

Man 2023 human beings are so funny

That is MR. Fill to you.

 

[mckmas8808]

But then she followed up with "Yes" to asking if it was needed for the nVidia deal. But of course the shills won't post the double speak.

Brad Sams did the same thing yesterday on his video. You only talked about the part where Bond said no, but not the follow-up question. The follow-up question is why the FTC brought up that Windows license thing in the first place to show MS' hand.

You can say that they have yet to prove that this deal is anti-competitive, sure. But you can't deny that they're making MS look bad, I think that's what we're enjoying right now.

Also, it's the FTC, Sony has no involvement in this other than public statements and being brought to the stand if necessary.

The shills masks are completely off and it's so easy to spot now.

 

[DForce]

They asked Sarah Bond about Azure/cloud yesterday..

If that's a real issue, then they'll probably ask Phil questions about his previous statements about how the cloud is powered by azure severs.

Ah yes, the infamous, "It doesn't use Azure, it's just in the very same datacenter as our custom housing that was specifically built for... Azure."

Yet all we heard for well over a decade was,

Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™
Power of the Cloud™ Azure™

Could make a list as long as a page in this thread, of all the names who've been exposed over the year as obvious pro-acquisition shills.

I mean are we not splitting hairs at this point when they’re using their existing cloud infrastructure anyway? Call it azure, call it brazzers, call it whatever you want.

MS fans today

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Okay those dudes on the other stream are funny

 

[Moridianae]

I'm at work. Somebody quote this and fill me on a synopsis of the events so far today. Is Microsoft getting cooked?

 

[FlyyGOD]

This guys streaming it

These guys streaming are salty fanboys.

 

[jm89]

They should ask phil how his boss showed that pacman chart to the EU. When it's convenient of course they will take nintendo out.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hendrick's , instead of rage emoticons, why don't you post in this thread?

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

MS astroturfing campaigns maybe getting exposed at last?
