Microsoft is one of the biggest proponents of cloud gaming. You don't think that to argue that because they push it harder than most other companies their acquisition should be blown up is absurd? This punishes a company for pioneering an innovative disruptive business model. Honestly most of the other big companies in gaming have no incentive to push cloud gaming other than to have it be a side dish like offering at best. We all just watched Google go up in flames because people don't want a cloud service where you buy games and own nothing not even a digital download. Nvidia was offering sold games on the cloud and also discontinued it.

Xbox Stans: cloud is the future, Microsoft are gonna take over with azure, Sony have no recourse

Xbox stans toward cma: they don’t know what they’re taking about! Cloud is not a big deal :damn:
It's like the automotive industry. Until Tesla started really pushing electric cars the big car makers couldn't give a fukk less. GM had the Volt/Bolt for many years and did nothing with it. Tesla comes and disrupts them and now they're all scrambling to make EVs.

The status quo doesn't lead itself to innovation because people seek to protect it over making stark changes. Most of the time they have to be dragged kicking and screaming into outright change.

Xbox is a failed console. Microsoft has little to no attachment to the status quo of the gaming market because of that. xCloud is literally one of the latest entries into cloud gaming. How then does it have so much marketshare now that the CMA considers it a threat?

Phil Spencer stated that Nintendo and Sony won’t hurt the gaming market, because he knows they don’t have the resources to disrupt how it currently makes money, they do, google does, and amazon does.. Basically they singled themselves out not as a gaming company, but as a big tech company that is Willing the snuff the current market leaders out using their access to something competitors can’t get. Thats what the market is being protected from. The long term implications of Microsoft not being regulated with cloud streaming is that they use their power in the market to dictate every other competitor on their terms.

Sony might lead the console market but thats it, they don’t have power beyond that. Same with nintendo, they don’t have the power to dictate anything sony or microsoft does, or steam, or apple, or google does.

Microsoft pretty much want to control the mobile gaming market, pc gaming market, console, and streaming using their one major asset no one else has access to.

Sorry but im not gonna sit here and entertain XBOX stans tell me that it’s unfair because they want more games on gamepass. Its bigger than that

Regulators ain’t trying to destroy the current healthy gaming market for Microsoft.

Xbox is the piece of shyt spoiled brat that keeps getting rewarded by terrible rich parents.
any other smart company would have moved on from this business

Facts.

Microsoft is still unproven in the console gaming market, handing them the keys to dictate the entire industry would be highly irresponsible.
