I mean you can grab the arm from any corner, the end result is that they did not deem it to be a concern in terms of blocking the acquisition.

Ok then just say that. Don't change the wording to mean something else.

 

[Zheph]

dafuq did the YouTube dude say?

"Sony liars"

 

[NickFire]

So it seems case by case means:

Everything is now excusive, but we might change our mind once in a while (probably after launch if ever).

 

[Ogbert]

This is infinitely more entertaining than the CMA process was... and people said nothing interesting would be uncovered throughout the acquisition because everything would be kept sealed. Welp.

Because it’s a genuine competition hearing.

Must say, the more I listen to this, the more I think the CMA is barking up the wrong tree.

Phil Spencer right now:

 

[DeepEnigma]

I love how Notch forced them to release Minecraft on all consoles while getting them to pay him $3 billion. Phil is such a novice.

Notch all like,

 

[Topher]

"Sony liars"

lol.....thanks

 

[Heisenberg007]

Caught red handed again lol.

 

[Nothing1234]

Phil caught lying again. "i dont know"

 

[Thirty7ven]

He doesn't know what he said. Can't recall, wasn't in the room when the testimony was done.

 

[cebri.one]

COD slowly becoming a GP exclusive is a given. Phil is mad he didn't arrive on time for Diablo IV lol. Well, we always have GOG that at least allows you to install mods.

So it seems case by case means:

Everything is now excusive, but we might change our mind once in a while (probably after launch if ever).

 

[SirKicksalot]

Elder Scrolls at least five years away lmao

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Indiana Jones contract -- juicy stuff.

 

[FUBARx89]

Ducking and diving that ES6 exclusivity after stating they would keep long standing stuff multi plat didn't they?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Jesus this colombian guy on stream is a smooth brain

 

[Zheph]

lol.....thanks

Look at him now .. embarrassing lol

 

[nikolino840]

Yes, way after.
So this "Sony not giving them devkits (on time or at all) is probably holding back the RT patched version of Minecraft on modern consoles all round." doesn't make sense.

Well...there's a topic about jim ryan not giving the ps6 devkit if abk pass so...
I don't know about the rt version part...but about the dev kits could be true

 

[xHunter]

Phils seems to have nightmares about Sony every night. Dude is like obsessed on crushing them lmao

 

[devilNprada]

aka both CMA and EU have dismissed the concern of full disclosure on MS's part, for whatever reason. I don't know why that needs this much clarification.

Are the EU/UK/US regulations the exact same across the board?
I would think that arguments and conclusions could vary with each, because the rules are not identical?

 

[Topher]

Spencer spinning Indiana Jones exclusivity. That after all the whining about Sony paying for exclusivity.

Look at him now .. embarrassing lol

dafuq is he doing. lol

 

[Dr_Ifto]

Disney went to MS first for Spiderman game, and they declined and now he wants to use the Sony exclusive in court against Sony?

 

[NickFire]

Ducking and diving that ES6 exclusivity after stating they would keep long standing stuff multi plat didn't they?

I think he also tried to duck whether it would release this generation.



Seems to me he basically just said it's a next generation game.

 

[GHG]

I love how Notch forced them to release Minecraft on all consoles while getting them to pay him $3 billion. Phil is such a novice.

I actually thought this was widely known for some time now? I don't recall where exactly I heard it but I've definitely known that was the case for a long time now:

Minecraft was an agreement with the original creator and those are only good points if you're part of a select group. Next.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Disney went to MS first for Spiderman game, and they declined and now he wants to use the Sony exclusive in court against Sony?

Yep.

#Victimhood

 

[Ogbert]

Fucking hell.

Elder Scrolls is going to be exclusive to my great grand children.

 

[Banjo64]

Paid phat stacks to keep Indy of PS

 

[jroc74]

Disney went to MS first for Spiderman game, and they declined and now he wants to use the Sony exclusive in court against Sony?

Its wild......

 

[SlimySnake]

MR SPENCER DO YOU REMEMBER A LITTLE MEETING IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 WHEN YOU PUT TWO SUGARS IN YOUR COFFEE???
...I have it with two sugars every time...
SO YOU DON'T REMEMBER THAT SPECIFIC CUP OF COFFEE WHERE MR BOOTY WAS ALSO IN THE ROOM WITH YOU????

I should have been a lawyer, it's just like a being a troll but you're also paid.

He is not suing FTC over coffee though. He has taken FTC to court because they accused him of buying shit for the purposes of making them exclusive. If he wants to refute that by saying I NEVER SAID MAKE STARFIELD EXCLUSIVE, he needs to remember those conversations.

If not, he needs to accept FTC's original decision and go home to get coffee with two cream and two sugar.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fucking hell.

Elder Scrolls is going to be exclusive to my great grand children.

I feel bad for Elder Scrolls Granny superfan. She is going to go from a character in game to a memorial.

No, of course the rules are not identical. I'm just using examples of similar regulatory bodies who have no doubt gone through the same gauntlet of documents and conversations to come to their concusion.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Oh wow. Phil says he wouldn't pay a third-party developer to skip PlayStation.

Bro, Death's Door, Stalker 2, Gunk, Scorn, The Medium, Ark 2, ... lmao

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Did Phil just turn to Minecraft AGAIN?

 

[Bernoulli]

who is starting now?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

You've already done it Phil. You've not provided a PS5 native version for Psychonauts 2 while there is a native Series X|S version. That's a clear example of degrading the offering.

 

[Topher]

Microsoft lawyers up now

 

[chrizzz09]

I think he also tried to duck whether it would release this generation.



Seems to me he basically just said it's a next generation game.

Phil already had his wet dream about ES6 releasing as an exclusive launch game for their next gen system, you can be sure of that.

 

[adamsapple]

Oh wow. Phil says he wouldn't pay a third-party developer to skip PlayStation.

Bro, Death's Door, Stalker 2, Gunk, Scorn, The Medium, Ark 2, ... lmao

Launching first =/= Skipping a platform entirely

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Oh wow. Phil says he wouldn't pay a third-party developer to skip PlayStation.

Tomb Raider the most infamous one

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

This actually might work better than Minecraft in terms of proving how hypocritical Phil's answer is, TBH.

Launching first =/= Skipping a platform entirely

Can can be said for most of Sony's 3P exclusives, but apparently Phil Spencer thinks those are "skipping Xbox entirely".

Funny how that works.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Wow this movie analogy is fucking awful

 

[Heisenberg007]

Launching first =/= Skipping a platform entirely

The Gunk is a permanent paid exclusive by Phil Spencer How come?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Microsoft lawyers up now

Notice the difference in his answers?

Well PR coached. No stuttering. Impeccable memory has returned.

 

[Dick Jones]

Oh wow. Phil says he wouldn't pay a third-party developer to skip PlayStation.

Bro, Death's Door, Stalker 2, Gunk, Scorn, The Medium, Ark 2, ... lmao

The Gunk's developers said the PS5 couldn't run the Gunk. Seriously, the game on the Series S. I swear to fuck.

 

[Nothing1234]

Asked about Halo not being on PS5.

 

[Thirty7ven]

ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE

Exactly, here comes the prepped softballs

 

[adamsapple]

The Gunk is a permanent paid exclusive by Phil Spencer How come?

Do we know it's a permanent exclusive? Maybe it's t he publishers decision

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

The Gunk is a permanent paid exclusive by Phil Spencer How come?

Echo Generation (from the team that made Ravenlok) has been an Xbox exclusive for like two years at this point, too.

 

[Ogbert]

Are the EU/UK/US regulations the exact same across the board?

Reasonably similar, in terms of underlying principle. EU and UK obviously share a huge amount of law.

The judicial approach in the US is very different; more litigious and confrontational.

Lot more fun though!

 

[FlyyGOD]

Microsoft should be shamed industry wide for wanting to make Minecraft exclusive.

Similar to the Final Fantasy situation right?
