Puts on MSFT

Just like in real life, you'd be a loser with this bet. Microsoft stock up today. Even in after hours, after this news came out. You'd have to sell your playstation again to cover the losses you'd get from that option play.


on a more serious note, if I were microsoft, if this deal falls through, id honestly consider getting out of the console market (pending profitability of this year)

Sony has bought up so many studios/publishers over the years, just because Microsoft buying a bigger publication/studio now its an issue ? Id take my ball and go home, consider it a blessing they just saved 70 bil

This is horrible news FTC showing a clear bias against Microsoft in favor of Sony is not good news for any actual gamer. Put your stanning aside for 5 seconds and think rationally here. Sony is allowed to buy up dozens of studios/publishers over the years and the moment Microsoft goes after a big studio/publisher now its an issue just cause Sony might come out on the negative side of it for once ? You cant be this biased

Fair market needs to be just that.. if sony is allowed to buy up studios then so should microsoft. If microsoft is not allowed then FTC needs to relinquish Sony of Bungie, etc.

Look at my edit.

You made a bogus claim. I'm just trying to show you what reality actually looks like.

MS ain't no underdog. They have acquired more studios over the years compared to Sony. They acquired a huge publisher in ZeniMax, and faced no real scrutiny, so I don't get your cries of FTC bias.
