It's good to see a regulatory body actually side with consumers. It's even better seeing MS get a taste of their own medicine.

Well, somebody cared. And somebody saw through MS' "deals."

MAJOR opposition is not the same as opposition.

Sony was the only major opposition

They dropped concern about the console market so the decision had nothign to do with sony, you need a new villain

So they are going to spend 70 billion dollars for 4 major franchises and discontinue selling them in their second biggest region and you think that won’t hurt them? You realize once Microsoft claim ownership of ABK they are responsible for the money they make, right?

The entire point is to bolster gamepass/mobile and the appeal of xbox in general

If they planned on making all AB games Xbox exclusives you'd have a point.

But they aren't. All these AB games can still be sold world wide on all systems plus new ones like the switch or Nintendo's next system.

Which is why this whole CMA verdict is silly in the 1st place. At 1st they were worried about COD, that didn't work and now they are worried about the future of cloud gaming.


You got people in here consigning the CMA for doing a good job when the when the basis of them blocking is cloud gaming the last thing most Sony Stan's are even thinking about

Xbox doesn’t have enough market share globally to cut out one of its major markets, they barely sell outside of NA and UK

They pivoted once they shot themselves in the foot. Just like y'all


Sony was still the only Major opposition, if sony took the same stan as google and the rest that opposed but didn't bring up lawsuit the deal would be done

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

This language being used at this point is so goofy.

The only people that over estimated their own importance was Microsoft
