Microsoft / Activision Deal Leaves Sony Stans in Shambles | M$ Wins Fight Against FTC

[Instant Classic]

Euros are not about that buying up shyt style of business trying to compete. In MS case, this was of their own doing with poor leadership. They saw the endgame of what MS was trying to do, got busted in a few "Untruths", and their past history of fukkery didn't help.

Unlike America, everywhere else isn't a dollar over everything. Not totally surprised, but shocked that enough concessions weren't made in order to get it to go through.

Oh well.

Phil can't survive this can he?

Yeah, I don't think he survives this gen because Satya Nadella is cutthroat imo. That man may look like he's not, but I remember when dude took over Microsoft he said “The first thing I want to do and focus on is ruthlessly remove any obstacles that allow us to innovate. And then focus all that innovation on things that Microsoft can uniquely do. We are the company that enables people to do more, to play, get more and have more fun, to create more, so sometimes we reference ourselves as the ‘do more company,’ and I want us to be able to take that focus and innovation forward,” said Nadella.

The way I look at it is Microsoft will want to get in on video game pie, but Phil may not be safe because Satya wants results. Don't be shocked if he sacks Phil and people like Greenberg and Booty.

Yeah idk what he's talking about with any of that, sounds completely like the fanboy babble he's accusing y'all of

You can't just close shop on the UK without major damage to your company

The UK is making Apple as we speak open up iOS for third party apps, Apple is re-writing code so the feature is only available in the UK. Why? Because that's where the money is in EU

UK is the most profitable country across EU, nobody is avoiding doing business there if they want to have business at all

MS can repeal all they want, they're going to have to turn focus on smaller companies to gobble up

Try to continue the deal and just remove consideration from UK and watch the UK remove your products what you gonna do then

Yep, its literally Microsofts second largest market, but they are gonna go around them?

Neva lost

You think the answer is less checks on capitalism?

You stupid donkey.

You're gonna try to lecture an actual socialist over the ethics of consumption and production because of billion dollar companies ducking it out?

[Koba St]

What a week for Xbots

People were delusional to think one of the biggest tech companies in the world were just going to up and buy the biggest video game publisher a year after buying the 4th bigggest game publisher with some lousy napkin deals.

Disney had to shed a huge amount of assets to get the fox merger passed through. Microsoft thought putting COD on nintendo was gonna do it

Disney had concessions based on the company as it would be at the time of the merger.

This was blocked on the pretense that one day cloud gaming might be big and right now in its infancy we suspect Microsoft is already too powerful in the space for newcomers to deal with. The same Microsoft that’s a distant 3rd in the console space is suddenly a juggernaut in cloud?

People here argue all the time that Microsoft should build up from scratch a beloved brand. The government is literally arguing that’s not really possible using the cloud as an example because if you have game brands customers care about that trumps all.

Regulators aren’t dumb they got the numbers they know what it means to let microsoft acquire another large company. That “3rd place in console sales” shyt ain’t gonna work with the big dogs

Are people really stanning a corporation and a console so hard that they were hoping for monopolization?

This is disgusting even for Arcadium

When you’re on team Lbox you’ll do anything for a win. Its absolutely nuts, half these dudes stanning this acquisition for the past 1.4 years don’t even play call of duty, overwatch, WOW or any other Activision games. They just want a mega corporation to become more rich so they could “sony stans “
