[VGC] Internal Email proves Microsoft's Activision bid is designed to eliminate PlayStation

[Bathing Ape]

Go make a thread about it then. This one is about Microsoft and their documented history of anti-competitive behavior across various industries.

I don’t need to my brother.

I mean this is common sense. A regular person with a modicum of sense and no strong bias for Microsoft could see this from a mile away. Of course this was hand waved away as Sony stan babble or fear mongering lol.

Breh, FFXVI is literally releasing exclusively on the Playstation 5 tomorrow while Fallout 76, a game that originally released in 2018, received at resolution boost and frame rate boost on the Playstation 5.

FFXVI, once a multiplatform franchise and Microsoft has owned Bethesda for a few years now and under their ownership, Fallout, Doom and others have received these boosts as well. All is fair is war.

What does any of this have to do with what I said or the video I quoted? Talking about old games releasing updates for rival platforms while being owned by another is not that interesting of a point to make. I can point to Destiny 2: Lightfall which is a major expansion released on Xbox as well whilst Bungie is owned by Sony. Marathon is also releasing for Xbox. None of this is really relevant tbh.

The bolded literally doesn't even make sense as a sentence. What are you saying?

I mean, we all know this is the reason Microsoft is buying all these publishers but it’s nice to hear them say it themselves beyond the PR bullshyt

So what exactly is a "player lawsuit"

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Wow this is pretty bad

Instead of innovating and making good games they just wanna buy up everything to kill the competition

 

[The Mad Titan]

“I want to put a rival company out of business through major acquisition” is not the same as “I don’t want our competitor to buy one of our biggest partners”

ABK was up for sell, it's not like MS was aggressively trying to buy them to harm playstation in this case. Sony just being salty

And your comment is one in the same when "your biggest partner" is used to lock or have timed exclusive content that others don't.

A slow death is still a death.

their stock has been good to a nikka, but yeah they have a history of anti-competitive practices. It is what it is.
