I remember one person in particular telling us over and over and over again why this would have no affect and was basically PR.
CMA probably thought about blocking it then these two things happen and turned it into something that could turn into something real political.
Would love to see what’s going on inside the FTC. Lina Khan got people so fed up some are quitting others are retiring.
Yea in the end who cares about COD exclusivity. If the deal goes through MS have invested more in Gaming and Xbox in the last 5 years then pretty much any company has invested in ANYTHING in the history of business.
So I think Xbox will be safe for awhile
SonyEra acts like their house would burn down and their dog would die if they dared to actually buy an Xbox
It will if they don’t!
From other thread:
Xbox live can increase a lot with ABK acquisition or mainly CoD.
If MS owned properties keep doing bajillions for them I can see them extending the licensing. MS didn’t pull Minecraft from anywhere. Hell, Minecraft has been a perennial seller on Switch!
Technically, Xbox has one game big seller in Japan and that’s Minecraft. Who said they don’t chart!
Not upset about it now. Just will be glad when this is finally over and I can play a COD campaign when I feel like it without having to pay 70 bucks, and delete it when I’m done.
Hes calling out Idas. Hoeg has been sure its gonna pass these few months.
Love the drama around this acquisition, it reminds me of the Kleegamefan saga.
Yeah that’s a direct shot at Idas. I don’t think it’s fair to shoot at him but I feel like a lot of people put too much weight in his opinion. He’s doing good work getting the facts out there, so I want to make it clear that I’m not downing him.
Seems like he’s just being critical of his mistakes but not hating on him.
The right kind of calling out if you ask me.
I’m pretty sure Idas’s 20% prediction was about the CMA, not the EU, to be fair to him.
Yeah I agree.
