They had to sacrifice so much to have the acquisition approved that I was surprised they still wanted to go further. They even had to give the cloud rights for CoD games to Ubisoft and then to licence them back, at some point it became just a right for Microsoft to put Activision's trial balance in their consolidated accounts, barely much more.
You mean the 10 year deal Jim Ryan was basically forced to sign? The one he refused to sign months before?? Hmmmm ok.
If I would be 'fighting' in court, I'd be refusing to sign a deal to try and get a much more beneficial deal as well.
I didn't say Xbox only started to decline after the deal.Lol thinking xbox declined after the deal. Bro doesnt know wtf hes talking about
Wow that's some spin. Are you a politician? Jim Ryan failed at blocking the deal something he said in his own words. Ultimately he was forced to sign the 10 year deal once it became obvious MS were going to win. If he didnt sign, he risked PlayStation getting a worse deal than other competitors such as Nintendo. He ultimately resigned because of his own failure to block the deal, and the complete state he left PlayStation first party studios in. Only something that has come to light recently. Xbox hardware has declined yes but is this as big a problem when you basically own half the industry and the direction of travel for the industry is digital content fuelled by subscriptions and platform agnosticism? I mean even PlayStation are waking up to this now.
What you just said doesn't contradict what I was saying.
Ok but you are talking absolute nonsense. You are saying Jim Ryan basically ensures cod remained multi platform and thus somehow they meant Xbox went third party. He had nothing to do with that. Microsoft offered that from the beginning as part of the deals Nintendo signed and offered to Sony/jimbo on which he declined
but caved later.
This is the correct winner.
Msft won aka nothing threatens windows monopoly but Msft laziness.
To have the power to tank the industry if need be.
You're basically saying the same thing in different words.Ok but you are talking absolute nonsense. You are saying Jim Ryan basically ensures cod remained multi platform and thus somehow they meant Xbox went third party. He had nothing to do with that. Microsoft offered that from the beginning as part of the deals Nintendo signed and offered to Sony/jimbo on which he declined
And you fail to respond when challenged on your revisionism.
What don't you get?
lol. Joking aside; Apple would be a better option as a premium product and protection of Sony not having an Os aka PlayStation doesn't die if Sony can't afford r&d. however apple is probably the biggest gaming company via its store.
