I agree, Jez. I also hate it when lame asses take shortcuts and buy their way to success rather than build up their success over a long term.

lol......CMA didn't "import" anything. This need to make it about Sony still is hilarious.

Dude is definitely on a spectrum. This is a grown ass man being compensated to console war, when this has nothing to do with the console markets according to the CMA.

He's fighting for his life in the replies
It's a tactic. If they make it all about a war with Sony it will appear like it's not some of the actual public being against the deal. People are less likely to sympathise and it turns Sony into a common enemy, not people against the massive conglomerate.

I honestly kinda hope CAT denies the appeal solely to see Florian’s meltdown

Yep, funded PR, since it unironically reads like MS's early playbook going into all of this mess.
It's their final form if they rented a suit, went to glamor shots (or Sears) and read a bit more to use them big words.

I made the mistake of looking at that guys profile responding to fossy. He makes sage seem reasonable.

Why do these guys even bother comparing one person to another at all? And who told them Jim had nothing to do with the CMA's decision whatsoever? Do they have ties with or know these lawyers(Sony lawyers or otherwise) on a personal level, or even know what their skill level and success rate even is? At this rate, those guys are arguing in circles and Florian has shown his true colours and that he's nothing more than a bought out corporate simp for Microsoft.
Oh this is beautiful, imagine seeing grown ass men defend billion/trillion dollar corporations that view them as nothing, but milkable cash cows. Court jesters, that's what they are. They have zero clue of what they're talking about and yet, they double down and insist , refusing to see reason, grasping at the tiniest straw they could get their hands on. Who even bothers with these clown ass armchair intellectuals is way beyond me, they only cherry pick what they want and everything else that's important, is irrelevant to them. It's like throwing eggs on a wall and hoping they stick.

They might as well blame Sony for greenhouse gases and global warming too while they're at it. Those guys have went full retard and exposed their true intentions. Their denial and coping is off the charts.

Being in the King's Council, doesn't increase one's chances of successfully appealing a case, neither is holding out hope that it guarantees a win and huffing the hopium/copium so hard that it drives someone to mental retardation, something those dudes have already showcased in stupendous amounts. Plus ATVI isn't the first in the industry to hire a high profile, highly respected lawyer. Others have done that too for other court cases and lost. High profile lawyers at your side don't always guarantee a win in court like those dudes are hoping.

Mueller was praising the CMA before their final report so really doesn't mean much what he says.

The fact that there's such a mountain of cash being spent to litigate anything related to the abysmal game that is COD is retarded IMHO...

Dude's a clown, nothing more. He should lay down the crack and drugs. Or better yet, he should tell me where he's getting his stuff from because that shit seems powerful enough to get him incredibly high.

Narratives on behalf of Microsoft, whichever way the wind blows at any moments notice.
Incredible really.

Jez's view point is that Microsoft can do no wrong. With that tweet he inadvertently reveals what he actually thinks about mega corps using money to buy their way to success, instead of creating it.
Also, I watched a lot of XBOX podcasts since the acquisition failed and it seems the community is turning on this guy for being a fraud.
They knew he didn't have a trophy or gamerscore and is live on video/podcasts acknowledging that fact. But since the deal failed, they've been referring to him as the "Fake FTC lawyer." Whenever I see dude posted I'm reminded of how far the xbox community has fallen. Today, a known fraud is selling them cope and hopium... And they just can't resist it.
I blame Phil.

It's just as quick as the "Arkane were never all that great" pivot we are seeing at the moment. Imagine that "Arkane never misses" to "Arkane are hit and miss". What a difference a week makes.

That's like 3 ABKs. Not is Funmation or Crunchyroll a monopoly when there are dozens and dozens of streaming services and networks.
They are grasping at straws here.

The issue with anime market isn't the money, but those that provide the content to the west.
Sony is close to monopoly in this matter. That deal shouldn't have been approved at all.

Netflix having over 75 times the sub count than them, and no shortage of Anime content, classic and original.

They own fun animation and now they own Crunchyroll. That is 2 top anime providers.

Crunchyroll had about 5 million subs at the time of acquisition, and Funmation was estimated lower at the time.
There is also this,
Crunchyroll fans subscribe to twice as many video services as non-anime viewers
Global anime viewership keeps growing and the average number of video subscriptions among Crunchyroll viewers far outpaces that of those who don’t watch anime, according to data from Interpret. | Crunchyroll disclosed changes to its ad-supported tier in March, and Interpret believes it speaks to...
Other services seem to not be impacted due to this. I just don't see that as a relation to ABK or cloud services/infrastructure in a world where Disney+ (who owns Hulu too) and Netflix exist. And the countless others from HBO to Paramount. All having 10s to hundreds times the subscribers.

Subscriber count is meaningless with this debate.
The actual issue is the content itself. Sony owns the 2 biggest platform that provides those anime, especially those that air in that week. That is the problem.

They don't own the anime IPs, that's the difference to owning ABK. Those IPs are free to license out to other much larger streaming providers if they see fit.

I wish it was easy as you are describing it.
But that doesn't exist in entertainment world.
If you as a user want to watch anime, your options are limited.
Netflix, Hulu, HBO max don't offer the same type as fun animation, Crunchyroll, hidive. They only offer it as part of package.

Sigh, once again, this is not akin nor is the same thing as the ABK deal, since Sony doesn't own all the anime IPs on said services. It's a copeful reach, and once again, fantards making the CMA and FTC decisions about Sony, Sony, Sony.
Instead of blaming MS for their decade+ of cloud dick waving and infrastructure dominance.
