When that happens shares are priced higher than what they are on the market. Take a look at the last public traded companies being bought, none of them were bought at the share price.
From their last financial report:
They have been making a profit for some time
Maybe they meant Henry
www.cnbc.com
That doesn't say they are making profit. It says their revenue is up.
Yup. I'm still waiting myself. Waiting for 2021 televisions in the meantime.
Ya lets wait for that robert guy to confirm these rumors lol

every-time he senses a cross-gen title
That dude made one accurate prediction which could have easily been guesswork and he started getting a following, even though every leak since has been horse shit.
I know, but you don't expect me to paste you the entire report, right? The Q3 2021 report, which was published just some days ago says they are making a profit, you can look for them if you want.
You are just conflating random laws to a situation that doesn't apply; you think nobody can make something exclusive? Buy something and make the goods exclusive to a platform? Find me one ruling where the EU indicated that when it wasn't based on a monopoly. That section is about things like price fixing, actions involving multiple companies acting together to limit markets. Buying Bethesda doesn't limit anyone's ability to sell products... that's not in any way related to this. Companies can do things including buying companies to their advantage.. that's called capitalism.
I didn't say all anti-trust laws only apply to monopolies.. we are talking about a specific scenario.. a purchase/merger.
Here's the section of TEFU that applies to what I'm talking about:
Dominating a market is not illegal.. and MS will not be dominating any markets after buying Bethesda.
Lol... wut?
Aren't you doing exactly the same?
You are just assuming things. As it has been previously said, a reverse triangular merger setup is almost always done when the absorbed company has deals or different contractual obligations than the absorbing one. Not only that, it's the only way to do a merge and keep both companies alive. What's strange in this case is this being reported.
When slowed down.
True, but I doubt very much that these stipulations will change anything significant... if MS wants to make all future content exclusive they will be able to, possibly even the back catalogue, but I doubt they would risk the bad publicity of removing all the Id content and Bethesda one out of the PSN Store for example. I lost some faith in the teeth of the EUC approach to competition when they allowed regional stores like U.K. iOS App Store vs France iOS App Store vs iOS Italy App Store, etc... with different accounts and geoblocked content.
What the hell are you talking about? Sony can buy any game publisher in the world. They have $ 40 billion in cash.

EU defines a monopoly as having a 40% market share in a specific segment/market, afair. It's not completely unlikely they could get above that, perhaps with the help of this acquisition.
If that happens, EU might act then, not before that. You cannot rule based on guesses.
Yes regarding less dependence on cpu for certain tasks on PS5.
Or they could be twisting reality and omitting facts like, it could be under ideal circumstances, etc.
They have a monopoly on desktop OS, so if they tie that monopoly into pushing competitors out of other markets, such as consoles, it might very well be an issue. Middleware (in this case, games) has been the issue with the other anti-trust cases against them all the way back to how they killed Netscape (DoJ ended that case and the surveillance in 2010). EU might define switch to be a mobile device, of which xbox and ps is not, and hence restrict it to non-mobile game consoles.
What I find interesting is the broader picture of what is happening with graphics and its implications for hardware.
hUMA heterogenous unified memory architecture has big part to play in that, it speeds up GPU compute there's no copying of data between the two ram pools
Had mentioned in the past there seems to be a limit to how much XSX can do in parallel GPU and CPU wise. The locked clocks don't do the hardware any favours, means it will hit it's power and thermal limits 'hard' when trying to do too much consecutively and has no contingency to get around it except defer work until it's less busy
Yes and don't forget Hitman3, be happy with your superficial winsControl photomode says 'No'
Yes and don't forget Hitman3, be happy with your superficial wins
The Control photo mode and Hitman 3 resolution don't invalidate all the other times the results went the other way. Don't stop shitposting by shitposting.I don't give a flying f**k either way who or what wins whatever. I just like to stop shit being posted in the forum!
Good post. Additionally unified L3 cache for the CPU is still a serious possibilty since Matt Hargett, the chief software engineer of PS5 hinted at 'something similar' more than once.Maybe that 1/10th is only for one I/O function the CPU does?
I hate to post this hear but I believe Cerny explains quite well the steps that you have to take to pull something from the I/O.
The PS5 has custom hardware that handles every step of the I/O so that the CPU doesn't have to do anything. From my understanding while the XSX does have some hardware to relieve the CPU of I/O work it doesn't take care of everything.
That's all that I can think of really for any I/O related issues on the XSX.
How ironicI don't give a flying f**k either way who or what wins whatever. I just like to stop shit being posted in the forum!
This is an under appreciated aspect of variable clock speeds.
You're missing the point entirely.
I agree for the first paragraph. For the bolded part of the second, are you saying that in a general sense or specific to Control? Because contrary to DF's wishes one game's/engine's specific behaviour in a RT enabled photo mode is very far from being enough proof for it.
I'm pretty sure the unified L3 cache is all but confirmed, RGT has been saying it for a year now and more recently LeviathanGamer2 (hardware engineer) also stated it's very likely the PS5 has it given the amazing CPU performance and more interestingly the dimensions of the PS5 APU and the way it's oriented.
