I'll keep it a buck, me personally. I'll be much more interested in what MS does if the deal doesn't go through rather than if it does.

Deal will eventually go through but...the jokes would be sooooo good if it didn't

I'm sure y'all would get mad jokes off lol


But truthfully I'd actually be more interested in what they'd acquire with the money they planned on using for AB.

Id prefer it not go through and them use the cheese on other companies and things

The suits have shown they don't really know what to do so their thing was to buy their way into power. Eliminate that and they might just say fukk it and leave gaming altogether.


Maybe go after EA??? Dunno.

Last 3 Big Publishers are EA, Take 2, and ActiBlizzard. It'd be the same shyt if they tried for Take 2 and EA as well

I see MS adding language to appease the Euros and get the deal to go thru just to be done with it.

I think the last thing they want to do is keep going after major publishers and risk monopolizing that space, whether this goes through or not. But studios as individual entities is fair game.

Exactly. Shoulda gone for Activision individually IMO but then again would Kotick have allowed that??

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

Starfield is a new franchise so I wouldn’t call it a noteworthy game pulled from PlayStation. Their concern is based off nothing. The actual evidence they should examine is Minecraft.
