The claim that Sony bought developers years ago and is just the publisher of all their main exclusives? Because thats not a claim, thats factual.

Xbox really showed no games because of this woman. None. I just wanted a Redfall release date.

Xbox fans like me have to suffer while she cosplays as Eliot Ness. Phil isn't Al Capone!!! He sells video games!! Games! The biggest night of the year and xbox has to lay low because you have it out for them.

I'm interested in this claim that they told EU regulators that Zeni/Bethesda games would remain multiplatform. from what I remember MS said they would honor current contracts, but not that they would keep all the games multiplat

During the approval process they told regulators that their intent wasn't to make Bethesda games exclusive. Publicly they were very vague, saying that all contracts will be honored but only said exclusives would be determined on a case by case basis.

No, they never said that.

The EC has even come out to say microsoft never told them them that.

What was always said was that current games would stay and future games would be a case by case basis.

ppl do stan war shyt too much.

the ftc had to look like they were doin something. hell when was the last time they stopped a huge merger/acquistion

 

[winb83]

So MS got caught trying to steal multiplatform games and turn them into Xbox exclusives? Just like I knew they were trying to do.

Gotta salute the FTC on this one

@ MS being so pathetic in the exclusive department that they have to resort to this.

The FTC effectivly lied.

European Commission argues FTC's Microsoft lawsuit is unjustified

The European Commission has pushed back against the FTC's recent lawsuit against Microsoft, saying the US regulator's complaints are unfounded.

www.gamedeveloper.com

Similar complaints were leveled against Microsoft back in November, when the EU launched its full investigation into the acquisition. Its words against the FTC stop just short of saying the US regulatory board is lying about its claims against the game publisher.

Here, the EU has argued that neither Starfield or Redfall can be used as examples of withholding content, as Microsoft has frequently indicated both titles would be Xbox exclusive. "Microsoft didn't make any 'commitments' to EU regulators not to release Xbox-exclusive content following its takeover of ZeniMax Media," the EU told MLex.
