Of course third parties don’t like it

Duhhhh

Duhhhh

crazy to get undeniable proof that everything we’ve been saying is right though. Right there in bold writing from the CEO’s themselves

Of course third parties don’t like it

Duhhhh

Well, yeah. Especially since we have proof from the music and movie industries that regardless what industry it's in, it definitely does crush value, or at least perception of value of the product. And with budgets being so high for development, most third parties are, at minimum, cautious about how this works long term.

It's only "value destructive" to some execs chances of buying a bigger yacht. For everyone else the value is spot on.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Dude would be the goat scumbag if true

MS wanted him to say this, because it goes against the idea that COD would be on subscription and/or streaming services without the deal
