The UK’s CMA has expressed concern that Microsoft‘s Activision merger could “significantly weaken” PlayStation (Updated with lawyer breakdown)

[TripleAgent]

Crazy thing is, their sucking and ineptitude is exactly why they shouldn't be allowed to buy the industry

They're not buting the industry stahp it If Sony is as "innovative" and great as they say, they don't need COD or the other ABK IPs at all. They're being all out bytches trying to artificially protect their status. Their skirt is all the way up over this deal.

This.

I do think they'll make some concessions just to be done with the shyt. They absolutely will and should give timed benefits to Xbox owners.

Weird that half of your revenue for the game comes from Playstation and you're willing to throw 9 figures annually away.

Ultimate goal is to get GP on Playstation and I think it will happen next gen.

Nope. The UK is the only body not down. Jim and his mates have no real leverage or case anymore, they're just wasting time at this point delaying the inevitable. Jim clearly has friends in the CMA, this shyt should be a wrap already. Makes zero logical sense when they were just on Sony for anticompetitive practices. The deal will happen, MS will gain a foothold, and Sony will either be this great company you all say they are, or they lose the number one spot. They just want to coast and not work so they can keep raping nikkas, but that's about to be done.

GP on PS? Possible, but unlikely.

They never even implied Bethesda stuff would stay multiplat. From jump they said it would be exclusive to gamepass.

What notable game has Bethesda released since the merger that has been exclusive to Xbox?

Since you care about transparency, fairness and all, how do you feel about Sony‘s list of demands saying that Microsoft can’t let future CoD have exclusive content despite Sony themselves marketing CoD MW2 with exclusive pre-order bonuses and their early beta access?

shyt is Donald Trump levels of projection and they got the CMA regurgitating Sony-specific concerns like shook republicans

nothing. they honored the Deathloop deal, and Starfield is exclusive to Xbox. I don't remember them ever saying Bethesda games would be multiplatform going forward

You posted that tweet to concern troll the exclusivity angle while the same company who’s so shook by this is literally doing the same thing that they want the new owners NOT to do after dropping billions.

Sony’s “bad for gamers” rhetoric is totally fake and hypocritical because securing 3rd party exclusivity and extras has always been a big thing for them. They’re literally doing it with CoD right now


It’s even less consumer friendly considering they’re trying to prevent games from being on a subscription service during rough economic times with rampant inflation, while they up the prices on games and consoles without fear of losing market share. They’re literally crying to foreign governments scrambling to maintain the status quo because they’re scared to compete


Now @CoolinInTheCut since you want to be Gizmo 1.5 so bad, spin this bullshyt as some kind of positive for Sony
