Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT3| - Sony bends the knee!

The funny thing is, I’ll probably sign up to Geforce Now along side my GP:U/xCloud

Have to say that while I expected something had been worked out or discussed with the CMA prior to choosing to fight the FTC I’m also surprised at the speed.

If this really does close before the 18th, I wonder how long it will be until

  1. Diablo/Everything starts dropping on GP

  2. If things like Family Plan will start dropping all of a sudden

It’s like poetry, they rhyme.

Its great, I was playing Stellaris on Xbox but on Steam/GeForceNow the content is 9 months ahead. When MS announced the cloud deal with Geforce Now, the sub on Reddit went bonkers that day. :laughing:

And if/when they get PC Game Pass content on there, GPU is gonna be bonkers value for money.

I’m pretty shocked the CMA bent the knee so quickly.

I was thinking we would get some defiant statement that they won’t change their mind no matter what.

The salt and cope from the usual suspects is very satisfying.

the real winner of this case are the people who stacked their Game Pass Ultimate until 2026 with a cost that averages around $5 per month.

Now with all these older ABK games I do hope they get back to BC and enhancing them.

One of the most toxic ones “wont say his name here” immediately deleted his account lol!

Seriously though I am so glad this is over! ( for the most part anyway) Seems like it’s been forever this has been going on. Hopefully the Sega acquisition goes smoothly.

Someone with a brain at the FTC should stop an appeal attempt on this thing to save further humiliation in court. Her ruling did not open any credible doors on the theories of harm, was very clear about her opinion that consumers would benefit, and she explicitly cited the fact that this was a vertical merger. No appeals court is giving the FTC quarter here.

Good news that this all can move forward, hopefully completion is now on the horizon. So the question i have is now that Sony turned down all the MS offers of long term contracts how do they sit with COD, if MS can complete now then surely they dont actually need to offer Sony anything? Which would be hilarious, obviously.
