fukking pathetic

 

[daze23]

they gotta be upset. CMA dropping their name in arguments against the deal, when they stood to benefit from it. currently none of the Activision games are on GeForce Now

[daze23]

they think Stadia died because they didn't have COD

and then their ruling keeps COD off all these services

Tired talking about this shyt

I could care less but it is obvious the CMA doesn't have a clue about video games

Just buy Platinum games and call it a day

So they can cancel ScaleBound again?

thing is to use GeForce Now, first you buy the (select) games from Steam, Epic, UPlay, EA, or GOG, then you link your account from those storefronts, and then you can stream the via GeForce Nw. same with Boosteroid. "BYOG" stands for Bring Your Own Games. so why would those types of services expect any cut from DLC and/or microtransactions? they currently don't get any

Nvidia, it's not like they have a partnership with Microsoft with cloud services.

What dafuq does this have to do with anything?

What dafuq does this have to do with anything?

They made a decision based on false information.

What dafuq does this have to do with anything?

They read through 4 million pages of documentation for well over a year, did surveys, met with industry leaders, are well studied, highly valued, and have been professional this entire time.

But some lawyers on youtube with a xbox t shirt say they don’t know what they’re talking about and xbox stans say they don’t understand games

This old internal Microsoft document lays out MSFT's strategy which they still employ today.

“Working behind the scenes to orchestrate “independent” praise of our technology, and damnation of the enemy’s, is a key evangelism function during the Slog. “Independent” analyst’s report should be issued, praising your technology and damning the competitors (or ignoring them). “Independent” consultants should write columns and articles, give conference presentations and moderate stacked panels, all on our behalf (and setting them up as experts in the new technology, available for just $200/hour). “Independent” academic sources should be cultivated and quoted (and research money granted). “Independent” courseware providers should start profiting from their early involvement in our technology. Every possible source of leverage should be sought and turned to our advantage.”
