But the idea us that they wouldn't be getting any games after the deal closes...

Its a ridiculous notion.

No. It is not.

 

[twilo99]

Multiple ips will be gone from the platform. It's very clear actually.

Sure, but we have no idea what that looks like..

 

[Corndog]

I wonder if this will effect Xbox people?

You believe that Sony will not be getting a single new game from Activision? That would be a horrible business decision.

If only we had Zenimax/Bethesda to draw from. Which their highest install base was also on the PS platforms with the PS4 and 5.

what about FFXVI and FF7 Remake On Xbox.

this level of hypocrisy should be a bannable offense.

3rd party deals, MS has never done those EVER, not even this year even. /s

Weak argument and one for the bingo card. GrandpaSimpson.gif

Go lick a wall or something.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

no lick a wall or something.

there is nothing wrong with saying you are a fanboy of something. but is frustrating when the bias is hiding behind a face of righteousness.

it would be so nice to have an honest and open conversation.

Again, my opinion would not change if it were Sony buying up all the top 4 decades old third party publishers and IPs trying to change the shape of overall industry in solely their favor.

FF sold abysmally on Xbox, hardly the same thing.

There's literally no 'there' there in that report. A statement of objections is a must or prerequisite in any phase 2 before any possible talks of whether any concessions will be or will not be required. They're quite literally just taking a normal part of the procedure and using it to create clickbait. People forget the EU was JUST formally notified of the transaction by Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. Now like all other regulators, they will lay out their concerns, which will then be followed up by more detailed data and evidence from the parties of the transaction to quell all concerns.

So they state where their concerns are, Microsoft then addresses those concerns with evidence and data, and then the regulator upon receipt of that evidence can determine there are willing to accept concessions in particular areas, or that they don't require any concessions at all depending on how convincing Microsoft is in its case. There can be concessions, but there's no evidence yet that any concessions will be ones that Microsoft were not already prepared to make, such as the 10 year Call of Duty commitment they've already said publicly.

We have eggs, but the chickens haven't hatched my friend. I have no issue getting you the game if I lose, but I suspect I'm still going to win this one lol.

Well that's the problem: Microsoft haven't been very convincing so far from the arguments at least publicly provided. I'm sure they've got a stronger case in the courts where there's stuff which doesn't get mentioned publicly, but I'm curious as to how strong those points would actually be to a regulator who's up on their game and isn't open to being "convinced" through means that involve any transfers of monies or valuables (financial or political) benefiting their own pockets.

No disputing that this is just a part of the process, so that EU can formally present concerns to MS and MS can respond. They did ask for evidence previously IIRC, that MS refused to provide, causing the escalation of the investigation. But that's basically in the past now. I still say that at least one of the Big 3 regulatory bodies are going to ask for concessions formally, and probably at least one of them being something MS otherwise would not have offered themselves, but we'll see.

Still befuddles me they offered a 10-year deal for an IP they don't legally own the rights to yet, though. That sure was ballsy to say the least

Also Sony & Tencent while they're it.

Never played the MP Crackdown 3, but the SP (on PC running at 120fps) is fun as hell.

 

[freefornow]

Settle down Colt.

Man, you guys really have all this in the back of your heads.
That's not a criticism by the way. More an observation of why I fail as a meaningful forum poster. I can barely remember last weeks hot takes let alone hot takes from 4 years ago.
I need to "git gud'.

 

[feynoob]

I hope people can use this video to relax themselves.


At this point, all of us are tired of this deal.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Clearly, you're not.

sowrry i just quickly read 8 pages of your post history in this thread and i couldn't find any single meaningful, insightful or enlightening comment about this deal being bad.

instead I found this:

still waiting for that irrefutable argument against this deal.

at least i have post where i explain my point of view.

All i see in those quotes are people thumbing up DeepEngima and laughing at your posts. Not something to be proud of broski.

Please stop.

I had a dream that Embracer bought Ubisoft.

If only we had Zenimax/Bethesda to draw from. Which their highest install base was also on the PS platforms with the PS4 and 5.

You heard it here first, Microsoft isn't allowed to buy any studios because Playstation is more popular. Protecting consumers is key. /s

There's been a few people that really want/need you to come out as some sort of fanboy over the last while, hasn't there? Seems to be a pattern with regards to those people from what I've noticed too.

I think ChorizoPicozo is just bored, hence the nonsensical arguments.

 

[feynoob]

People dont lose your insanity. This deal means nothing to us plebs.
Unless I am getting money, I am not gonna waste my energy arguing whether its worth it, or negative to the gaming world.
Its ok to troll sometimes, but dont get too heated.

Take a breath, and watch something. We have a long way to go, before we see a vedict.
